Nashville Fall 08'- Song Camp

WHAT AN ADVENTURE!! My hubby and I went to N-Ville this October to further pursue my dreams...well he enjoyed his dreams too--While I was at Song Camp 201, he went about the town shooting photos--He has become a natural at photography! Anyways, I am so lucky that my loved ones and friends support me the way they do, for this I am grateful.

It was awesome to meet new folks in Nashville and to learn how to be a better writer. I got to network with real songwriting professionals and the like. It was all gravy! EXCEPT darn my hubby and I didn't go to a local breakfast place to try the famous southern cooking Nashville is known for. But that is okay, there will be a next time, and a next time, and a next time in Nashville for us!!! (Later Art, my husband told me that he did enjoy his biscuits, mashed potatoes and such)

I will be back in Nashville to record some songs and continue to network with wonderfully talented individuals. I learned a lot about myself this trip to Song Camp 201. Not only did I better learn the art of songcraft, but I also learned to maintain my uniqueness as well as to set appropriate boundaries.

One night I was so exhausted and really wanted to attend an event hosted by famous songwriters; however, my energy was sourly drained. I knew that I could say yes, but that would be neglecting my needs for rest. So I decided to choose my yes's and no's wisely! I said No that night and Yes the next. I'm being true to myself and isn't that what writing is all about!
