'ello all
Today is a good time as any to give you an update. Partly because we are out of stock of blog posts and partly because I don't have enough brain cells to put together for a regular post. We are all sick at the Edsson home. All twenty kids are in various forms of sickness and the house is a very nasty place at the moment. Don't you want me to bake you a casserole?
OK anyway, lets get going!
Music
Ah, I finished my latest Christian Metal album. It sounds great, it looks great, and no one is lined up to listen to it. Heck, I've given out free tracks on the silly thing and still....zero buzz. But that's OK - in the weeks ahead I'll put some feelers out and try to get some news outlets to take notice. We'll see, but I am far from fretting. I feel that God gave me the gift of music, and I will use my gift of music for Him - and if it doesn't amount to much down here, I'm not worried. I'm not doing it for fans anyway. Kind of weird, but that is how I roll with my Christian music.
I did get the seed in my head to do a sequel to a previously released math oriented album. I might kick it around some more - and that WILL be out there for money if it does happen. Anyway...moving on.
Novel
I finished one novel earlier this year and started the rewriting process for an earlier novel. Again, once I get them together and ready, this will be a possible source of income. However, due to stuff with my music, I haven't had as much time to devote to the rewriting. But that should change in the week ahead.
Drawing
Nothing formal. Not yet. I am kicking around the idea of a picture book for kids, but nothing really concrete at the moment. It is at about the same stage as my sequel mathematics music album.
Jobbing
Ahhh - actually this is where the excitement has been. I got a bonus and bump in pay because I am such a good little actuary. That was good. BUT, I have also been in talks with a company about a possible opportunity back in my homeland - Swedesbourg. Obviously, not my real home, but I am looking at other opportunities as an actuary.
Why? Because I can. Well it is exciting looking at new opportunities. I do want to get all twenty of my kids to get to know their grandparents and I am realizing that the position that I am in, albeit actuarial, is not a good fit. My position is in essence holding the status quo and does not develop or build anything. I recently made the realization that I like to build stuff. So, with that in mind - I'm looking at other opportunities that would give me an opportunity to build stuff. That might help quell some of the immediate need to run from my job into unjobbing. Although I ultimately want to unjob, having a job that I like to do might make life a little easier to live.
OK - so I have all week to get you all a new blog post on Friday. Until then - I hope you don't contract what I've got through the blog!
God bless,
Sven
