Everyone in the music business is trying…. trying to get them selves out there…. get a leg up. Trying to make a name for themselves. Someone said “you should start a blog”. Well gee…. I did that years ago, but I don’t remember the last time I blogged. So here I am. The Miss Conception. Listening to what someone said. Blogging. Oh boy.
At first I thought…. well there’s another thing to add to my ‘to-do’ list. “BUT THINK OF THE OPPORTUNITY” my Jimminy Cricket responded. “A captive audience! A chance to get my message out there! I love writing, why not?” Someone said blogging was the way to go… and here we go (!)
Do I always listen to what people say? Fact: I’ve made a point to listen, but not always follow what my elders have said. Why they do tend to know best, they don’t always understand the scope of the situation at hand. Oh the challenges we could address here… my Grandfather always says “I don’t know what I know until I see what I say” (an Auden the Poet quote). I’m pretty sure I’ve driven most of my family crazy, for when they ask innocently “what is it you want to do when you grow up Sara”? the only response I can come up with is: “I want to be a rapper”. #DUH
Someone said to write for a magazine. Someone else said: why don’t you ghost write songs for some of the bigger stars. Ugh. I want to write under MY rules. My topics. This is MY ego we’re dealing with here! Ok, we can leave the ego out of it. Ergo, THIS BLOG is going to be designated as a creative space where NO ONE CAN SAY what I must write about. And the best part, YOU DON’T HAVE TO READ IT.
You may find poetry, you may get a new song I’ve released, or MAYBE this blog will serve as a political rant platform of which I have no business sticking my brown nose into. Bottom line, I’m writing for me, because that is what I do. Communication. On point. As concisely as possible.
Thank you for your time, and remember, DO NOT EVER DO WHAT I’VE SAID unless it fits with your own morals and your own constitution.
