Before Covid-19, I pretty much spent most of my time in my home studio/office, so staying at home isn’t that new to me. But I felt like I had to make a choice between pursuing music and writing fiction. They seemed to use different parts of my brain, and I felt like I couldn’t juggle them all that well. That I *must* choose one in order to be successful.
Now I’ve realized during this time that it’s too difficult to focus on just one. My brain is more scattered right now. So how do I turn this into something good? Well, I’m not only pursuing both writing (brain) and music (ears), but also creating videos (visual), embracing three of my senses, instead of just one. Besides, how do I know which one might take off more than the other? Diversification seems wise to me now.
So, how do I determine which one to work on when? I suit up and show up. I let the muse decide.
What projects am I working on in particular?
- Editing my manuscript in progress
- Gaining skills in music production through classes
- Producing my FAWM album and writing music for TAXI listings
- Creating videos from a variety of trips to Disneyland, Disney World, and Cruises
The latter idea was spurned on when I noticed our 22-second video of Oasis of the Seas started getting crazy views (at least for us with a brand new channel).
At last count, it’s over 15K. You can check it out here. While you’re there, please subscribe. 🙂

Anyway, just uploading that one video started me thinking about creating/uploading more videos and I’ve discovered I really enjoy it because I’m also a visual artist, not just audio and cerebral.
What have you discovered about yourself and what you enjoy that took you by surprise?
