Picking up from yesterday –
April – I got actually real-life paid to write a song.
[Side note: To be real, I’m not 100% sure it definitely happened in this month. I think I blocked out a lot of 2018, if we’re being super honest up in here. But as I was trying to go back and somehow piece things together as much as I could, as I continue to try to post everything we missed… and I was just kind of looking through photos and emails and whatever I could find, I did have an email from April of the Cabaret. So… whatever month is actually happened, I sure did get the email in April! haha]
So anyway, yeah, one of my friends I met in BMI had a friend who was putting on a little cabaret thing of his own and wanted us to write him a personal original song. And we did it! For moneeeeeey. Like a real professional. So, basically I’m a pro now ;).
May – Became a FULL member of the television academy. That’s right! I had just been an associate member up to this point. But now, I have the ability to but tickets every year. And I get to VOTE! Full voting member, baby!
But yeah, basically, the threshold you have to cross to become a full member is higher than associate – you have to have have been working in the industry fo more years, and have more credits to your name and all that… And I did it!
June – Presented my 10-minute musical at BMI! I got to write it by myself, which was very cool. It was about something I was a little afraid to write about, but it went over SO well that I was so very proud/ecstatic/all that! [I wrote a fairly long multi-part series that you can read about here, if you want.]
And this is where I’ll pick up tomorrow!
