Sometimes life gets really busy. Don't ever think for one second that life as a freelancer of any sort is boring. I've learned from experience that it's often in extremes. You either have no work or too much work. I've decided going forward that I prefer too much work; I can always outsource to trusted people if I need to do so. I know some great writers in my area.

Am I the only "Mama Bear" (as my four year old has started calling me today) who has a Baby Bear that has an insatiable desire to look for trouble when Mama Bear needs to work and Papa Bear is at work? :) It's always an adventure around here.

It's been too hot here...even for me. I love the heat. I don't regulate my body temperature well. As of last summer, I still slept on a heating pad to stay warm even in the summer (and with at least three quilts). Now when it gets really hot, I have to stay inside. Otherwise, I have a lot of issues with my heart.

Other cool stuff... The Chameleon Room and Leon's Lounge have a lot of great shows coming up in OKC. If you're near, you should check them out if you're local or even passing through. We even have touring bands that stop to play. However, I love our local music scene. We have a lot of talented musicians here.

Another awesome night

Becoming a freelance writer can cause some really awesome times. Last night I got to hang out with a really talented local punk band. I won't put their name here because they are planning a surprise benefit concert...and we don't want to let the cat out of the bag. Additionally, I was given a free t-shirt and a free copy of their CD. We sat outside to finish the interview because the venue was freezing. Some people saw them interviewing with me and saw me with a t-shirt...so others started buying their shirts. I'm not saying that was because of me at all...I'm just saying that if you are a musician...have a friend or a writer go with you and have them get some of your goods in front of others. We all love to buy, but no one likes to be sold. That action may create a freedom in people to start buying your stuff. The interview for the band will eventually appear here. It will most likely be after the benefit show.

Two other great bands played as well. I've heard The Costanzas play several times. I wanted to stay and watch Against the Grain...but by then, I was very tired. That's one of the worst parts about having a heart problem. I can get tired quite fast. On the other hand, being that tired seemed to fix my chronic insomnia for at least one night. I didn't wake up until about 9 this morning. Usually I start working by 8 am. Eek...or yay. I haven't decided yet.

I don't understand why everyone wants to be a travel writer. I guess I'd have to like to travel for that, huh? I really enjoy interviewing people involved in the creative process...be in music, art, or anything. I love being able to delve into who they are and what makes them so unique. It's absolutely amazing. That being said...I may start a small series here about becoming a travel writer. I've done a little bit of it...I just prefer to indulge in other avenues. Yeah, I'm that hermit that generally stays home.
