Let It Flow

I had one of those frustrating days where I worked all day long, and feel like I accomplished nothing. I worked on a bunch of songs that I have only partially completed. And I REALLY wanted to get something finished. But it just wasn't in the cards for today. I'm not the kind of writer that usually finishes things quickly. So I remind myself of that. But as we work more and have less and less time for things like friends and family and writing and pursuing the ultimate big picture goals... I feel more pressure to finish things in the limited times I can find to work on them.

I used to write ALL the time. I had all kinds of time in the car driving between Nashville and Columbia. Now, I have to change the way I do things a bit. There's so little time to write on the road, that I try to pack it all in when I am home. Maybe one day, when we have a driver, I'll be able to sit in the back and relax, but right now that just isn't an option! It's good for us, though. None of the superstars I look up to got to where they are easily. I don't really know what the "easy road" would be. But that's what makes it fun ;)

I was pretty frustrated with myself earlier. And my lack of time. But I have to remember to take a deep breath. Visualize what it is I DO want. What kind of music I want to share with the world, and let it flow through me. I know it's deep down in there. It just gets buried underneath silly things that I SHOULDN'T EVER focus on.

People ask me all the time at shows, "Where do you want to be?" "What's next?" People seem quite fascinated when they realize that I tour constantly, yet have no record deal. There aren't a ton of us out there! At least in the country world. I really just want to keep doing exactly what I am doing right now. On a bigger and bigger level of course- I just want the opportunity to share my music with millions.

One at a time, baby!

Now it's time to go pray, visualize, and ponder what exactly it is that I do want to share with you all.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for listening. Thank you for believing in me. I am doing my best to make you ALL proud to be a part of Team Stovall.

Peace. Love. Fiddle.
