So, you compose your own music. That is an interest that you may be able to pursue, as there are opportunities to enter one's compositions into various contests. My neighbor's son, the family originally from Czechoslovakia, entered and won a Canada wide contest for a Christmas composition about ten years ago. The attention that it brought to his work has enabled him to pursue a career in music and opened doors that he may never have found had he not entered the contest.
In this day of technology, many people are able to record their work and upload the files to YouTube and various websites for sharing.
Do you have any of your music recorded in a format that you can share? If not yet, it might be a good investment of your time, whether it leads to personal development, meeting new people or commercial potential.
Last January, my partner assisted a trio of very young musicians in recording a demo CD. They were the youngest musicians entered and yet they came second in the territorial 'Battle of The Bands', a launching pad for new and aspiring artists. They played music that was all original work and they were ages 12-14 at the time. Some very 'mature' lyrics for ones so young, lol....
, yet they are Swiss and I understand that Europeans in general are somewhat less prudish than Canadians.
It's chilly here most of the time, hence we are conservatively clad all seasons of the year. Perhaps that is why we are mildly shocked by 'exposure' of all forms.
I'm off to work now, and then later I switch over to graveyard shift. I'll be back though, and I am sure there are others who will drop by and contribute to this dialogue. Later.....
