Long, hard hours of work and don’t even think of having a relationship during that time…
Thank you Michael!!! I myself am doing the very thing that Michael has done already. Every night I pull out that futon on the studio floor and that is where I sleep. I fall asleep looking thru the glass into the control room. Sometimes I wonder "what the hell am I doing?" But I have been making progress. Small steps, but progress nonetheless. No home, car or relationship(Hey baby, come to my place and we'll watch a DVD on the laptop in the control room. NOT) 24/7/365 of long hard ours of work.

And Michael, I have even started saving to go to one of your workshops in the Fall because I want to be the absolute best in my area and continue developing my skills.

Thank you, thank you Michael!!! You just gave me a huge boost. I dont feel so alone on this road anymore.(though I'm a few million miles behind someone like Michael and others here)

Take Wagners' last 2 posts, hit Ctrl+P(or the equivalent on the Mac), Hang them on your wall, and read them once a day.

Well, time for bed(in the studio) nite, nite, my fellow Gearlutz.
