[stylist] new writing assignment?

[Brad Dunsé]

Guys,

I think some of the sluggish 
writing/evaluating  is due to what Robert 
referred to the other day,  being busy.

In my case I run a business which has its 
demands:  work the route, pay bills, order 
product, and so forth;, I’m also taking a couple 
self-paced courses, trying to get some web 
content done on two different sites plus figure 
out how to build one  of them from bare bones 
content manager yikes, put together marketing 
ideas and otherwise work a business plan, and try 
to get my weekly goals I need to get done in 
order to launch a freelance commercial writing 
business this spring/summer. The most writing 
I’ve done is the monthly songwriting tip column I 
do. I even put my music life on hold because I 
knew things would get tight. In fact, my love, my 
first love, more specifically my guitar, thinks 
I’m cheating on her because I have stood her up 
more than taken her out for a play haha.

I try to offer what I can, when I feel I have 
something to offer, and also try to give as much 
detail as I can or am able, but I am limited to 
how much I can do strictly on time’s demand, not 
unwillingness to do so. Even then, I still fall 
short of the tasks I need to do.

Perhaps it sounds harsh, but I generally offer 
input on those who have done same for me. Not out 
of spite for those who haven’t’ as I could easily 
spend all kinds of time reading and helping where 
I can because I not only like to help, I also 
learn a ton that way. but I do feel if someone 
has taken time to look at one of my pieces, I owe 
them the same courtesy . I hope I’ve managed to 
do that anyway. I’d been thinking about that 
earlier this week in fact, and thought maybe I 
can at least pick one piece a weekk to do a 
feedback. Perhaps that seems a pittance, but 
that’s a lot from this end at the moment.

At any rate, I’m sure it’ll pick back up again. I 
will say the mantra I say in songwriting 
evaluations, it is good to get several sources of 
input and not just rely on one or two of them.

Brad
