[Holidays]

Hey V,

 

I know I'm really late in posting to your Blog but I just noticed that SS had a Blog section??? LOL  

 

Anyway,

You really hit on a topic I am passionate about when you said your family isn't supportive.  I never really gave it a lot of thought before but my family, even though they would always try to seem interested in what I did, they really never cared one way or another.  I don't know which is worse.  When they come right out and tell you that they don't believe in you or they just ignore you?? 

 

I think the ignoring makes a person resentful and angry but the disbelief hurts in a much deeper way.  My wife was always told by her family that she "couldn't do it".  Or that it wasn't something that a girl should be doing.  I think they really just didn't want to be bothered with her.  She was adopted by the way. 

 

Well, I hope you had a really good holiday season and look forward to viewing more of your work on SS.  If you have time please check out my new Blog.  I am starting one here to promote my book release, hopefully this month, but I'll let everyone know when it happens.

 

All the best V,

Bryan

[The Chicken Or The Egg]

Hey Gary,

 

As you probably know from reading a lot of my lyrics that I am an inspirational writer with no deadlines.  In fact I have a stack of about 10 or 12 unfinished lyrics at any given time sitting on my desk.  I do understand and have had to use the planed writing system, ie: outline and so forth when writing my two manuscripts.  Not so much on the first.  That really kind of hit me out of the blue but in a way was already set up in my head because I based it on my own life and experiences.

 

I guess I could also consider myself very fortunate because I usually have a pretty steady flow of inspiration for lyrics.  Probably because I had such a f'd up life for so long when I was younger. lol 

 

Anyway, I'm really glad you started this thread and I know I'll always take something good away from any of your posts!!

 

All the best,

Bryan
