I just wrote my first book.
Title: Love Songs and Suicide
Subtitle: A Travel Memoir,
Romance, and Tragic
Musical Comedy
Nobody’s read it so far.
That’s okay.
I haven’t promoted it at all, really.
But that’s about to change.
I just purchased a domain.
At lovesong (dot) blog, I’ll talk about overcoming tragedy and finding harmony in a chaotic world, exploring topics such as mental health, business, music, and travel.
It’s a self-improvement website (for screwed up people).
I’ve been adrift since I finished the book.
But through trial and error, I’ve discovered the cure for a creative hangover.
It isn’t….
❌ Booze
❌ Medication
❌ Or therapy
Yeah, I tried all of those things.
They didn’t work. I’m still in therapy though (an overshare, perhaps).
The cure for a creative hangover is…
✅ A new project.
✅ Something that matters to you, ideally.
✅ That’s it.
Wishing you “sobriety” in all your endeavors, creative and otherwise.
CTA – I have 35 connections as of now. And no one’s likely to see this post. But by some miracle you did. So if you’re not a serial killer, the MyPillow guy, or associated with the mayonnaise industry in any capacity (I believe mayonnaise should be illegal), feel free to connect with me.
P.S. I actually have more than 35 contacts now. I drafted this post a few months ago, but just now worked up the courage to post it. That’s a lousy P.S. Sorry Jasmin (shameless shout out). I’ve learned a lot from stalking your LinkedIn content despite never commenting on it. Thanks much. And even though I hate your “clear over clever” rule, it does make sense to me and 🍻to everyone on this paycheck Friday and that’s all for now.
