Sharpen my sword...

As I press forward in this movement I try not to get too caught up in all the shit tht surronds the talent. Afterall it is and should be all about the talent and creativity that I bring to the table. When you have to factor in images, web presence and networking I see why some artists start to slip on their craft. I vow to avoid that shit as best as possible. I have to stay connected to my work, to my writing and vision. I have to challenge myself to try new styles... I want to speak the truth in my music cuz the truth will never get boring or played out. The only way for me to be honest as a writer is to live to my full potential and document it all! I'm gonna freewrite a little tonight and spend a little time memorizing. While research and writing practice does always fit into my busy mommy day I keep it close in my mind so when I have a moment to do ME its the first thing I think of. I know that I have so much growth ahead of me and I truly appreciate the path...

It's been a long time... But I only have like 4 readers anyway so y'all ain't missing much. I did feel the overwhelming urge to write about my adventure yesterday tho. I abandoned my inhibitions and had a photo shoot. I actually took the time to get dressed up and let a photographer take pictures of me. I knew eventually I was gonna have to get it done so I did. It felt good. I realized that it is a part of the job and having images to match the music/poetry. I hope they are well received because it took a lot out of me. I did my best to stay focused, follow the photog's direction and not crack too many jokes... (like in the attached pict) When I got home I crashed like a crack head driving a pipe into a wall made of pure rocks... It also brought another point into focus for me. In order for me to finish and sell a product that consumers really wanna fux with I will have to do A LOT of things very far outside of my comfort zone... I pray to GOD that I am up for the challenge! I pray that MAAT take the wheel and keep me balanced cuz I can’t neglect my hubby and sees while I'm out there gettin' it... ya dig? Lay 'round for more power moves in the near future cuz I feel the growth bursting out of my pours.
