Complain about your schedule. Apparently people like that sort of thing.

I've been making some headway into pivoting to music as my full-time career but it's feeling difficult to get other people to care about it. But I'm plugging along and making music because the alternative is not making music, which feels worse. How about you?

That's awesome stuff, fluffy.

I'm not turning music into money, but I'm still making it.

Right now I am processing stress or something like that by being a screamy band and using naughty words a lot in everyday life.

Good question.

Word of mouth is super important. My big difficulty has been finding an audience. I've been making headway into that by performing in VRChat a lot. But even then my reach is very limited. But it's growing.

I did write a blog post about what success looks like to me a while back.
