Self and Others

Progress with everything I am doing is incredibly slow. I am waiting to hear from quite a few different people who have the power to move my career onwards rapidly. Louis Alvanis (Pianist) will be coming here for a rehearsal within the next three weeks. We are practising for a CD to be recorded on the Meridian label in October, 2005. I am waiting to hear from my webdesigner, Pat Wick...also my new music publisher Ralph Williams-Morgan who has signed a number of my compositions but doesn't seem to be doing anything with them as yet. The young lady writing the programme notes for the CD, Maria Rice is moving apartment and has found it difficult to communicate with me. I am also waiting to hear from a literary agent with regards to my new novel. If they offer me a contract, I will need to complete the project in good time to present something tangible to a publisher and hope to receive a favourable contract. All I can do at my end of the equation is to wait for these people to wake up a bit and to continue to persevere with my current project (the completion of my novel, Doctor Fish). It is not easy to remain positive and upbeat in the face of external lethargy and complacency. I need to motivate myself to work harder and harder and to continue to 'produce the goods' in spite of a seeming lack of interest by the rest of the world. Let's try to remain positive and see how the rest of this year pans out!
