This has been a crappy last 3 days…
A while back, I submitted tracks for the NGADM and NGUAC, and before that, the AIM contest. The scores for all three of those came back at the same time and turns out I wasn’t anywhere close to making it into the first two, and I got an even worse placement than last year in AIM (although there were about 40 more people).
That has just left me feeling extremely discouraged… I’ve put so much time and effort into improving my craft, basically my whole life. Music is pretty much my “thing,” and has been for a long time. It has such an impact on my life and has always been my biggest interest. And yet I am STILL not good at making it.
No, I’m not going to quit.
But I need to take a short break. I put a lot of my self-worth on these tracks, and this really is a blow. I need some time.
