Beth's Ponderings
I have a date for
my music album release!!!!
As with each and
every step on this 11-month journey, which has taken me way out of my comfort
zone I am feeling scared stiff! (Even if I’m not supposed to say that).
While I am excited
and thrilled that the album is almost out in the world (literally out in the
world with the online streaming), I’m also completely freaking out as millions
of thoughts race through my mind such as...
What if no one
listens to it?
What if they listen
and don’t like it?
What if no one
comes to my release event?
What if I don’t get
the physical CDs in time?
What if I get the
CDs and there is a mistake?
Or worse, what if
the CDs are all blank?
What if I can’t get
the digital streaming process to work?
What if I promote
my release event and then have to cancel it?
What if this is
just a HUGE cosmic joke and I’m not really a singer after all?
What if people
expect me to sing all the time now?
Or, what if I can’t
write or sing another song ever?
What if...what if...what
if...what if...what it...what if…
Inhale…….exhale………………………………………..
So, even though I’m
completely freaking out, and have no idea how this is all going to work out (or
even if it will all work out), I’m showing up and putting myself, and my album,
out there.
Event details are below, and I hope to see you there!
