UMS Conundrum - Money VS Art?

[hsindermann]

I'm in a similar kinda situation as yourself: For me it's music though. So I've set my UMS goal as to make enough money from composing the music I love to create to make a comfortable living from it. Gotta see where that leads me. What I can tell so far is at least that I'm more enthusiastic to improve that craft of composing than I've ever been before - I've written more music over the last few days than in the months before. And I do start seeing the possibility that the goal could just be achievable. It's most likely just a matter of working on improving my craft, and on finding the people that are willing to pay for my kind music (it's orchestral sound-tracky music, but not the usual hybrid/"epic" style). Time will tell if that'll work out, but I'm more optimistic on this than I've ever been over the two years or so that I have this plan growing inside my mind.

So in the end, just give it a try I guess!
