Hi all
I'm intending to take 6 months off work (saving those pennies very hard as we speak!) to give myself some time to really focus in on completing and recording some of my songs - a bit of a sabbatical. i want to plan this time really well to get the most from it, so I won't start the sabbatical until about March next year. Am pondering how best to set myself up for this time... Would be really interested to hear what sort of preparation you would make... so far I've thought of:
- save up enough money to live for the 6 months
- learn to use my gear (protools LE, mac g4 powerbook,Yamaha qy700, sm 58) better
- developing better networks with other musicians so that i don't feel isolated at home all day for 6 months (i'm planning not to work for the 6 months if I can possibly do so)
Really want to make the most of this time, so any advice from your own experience would be just great
cheers
