I always mean to contribute to pubski but never feel I have anything interesting to share. I'm going to force myself to as an exercise.

My life is moving slow and steady at the moment. I am still living at home whilst working for my Dad's company. I've been working part-time (20 hours a week) and trying to spend as much of the rest of the time on my music.

I've known for awhile that I'd become to reliant on the external deadlines of university to create the discipline for me to work. Any time I was out of education I'd become frustratingly unproductive and I knew if I wanted to achieve my goals I'd have to change. About 5 months ago I decided to do just that by committing to work on my music 3 hours a day. I figured that even if I didn't achieve that immediately the discipline is what mattered.

It seems to be working. I managed to dedicate about 250 hours to my music during the tail end of last year. And that's with quite a disruptive December that delivered a bit of a blow to my daily commitment. To cut a long story short, due to some complications with my parents moving house we effectively ended up homeless for a period of 3/4 weeks. I slept on my brother's sofa with a brief interlude spent in a holiday rental for Christmas. Things are all back to normal now. But yeah, my music's never been in a better place and it's getting easier to put the hours in, so I'm happy with that.

Like I said, things are slow and steady. I'm not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand. I'm not exactly dissatisfied with my life. Work is alright, I'm saving a good amount of money, and I get plenty of time to spend on my music with minimal responsibilities. On the other hand, I do wonder whether I'm missing out on things a bit; not much goes on in my town. I guess I'll bide my time for now.

Other things I'm working on: a sitcom script and a comedy podcast.
