D.I.Y. Rock Star Rewind: Holiday Packed Up š (February 2022)
Early along in this frustrating journeyā¦.
ā Okay, so I was at the point in this process where I WASN'T going to accept āNoā for an answer from a device that is SUPPOSED to serve ME! I decided that I could get what I wanted out of this printer! āAnd SOONER than later! āSo, I fucking saved the documents as PDFs onto a fucking jump drive and inserted that motherfucker DIRECTLY into the printer! š„š¤·š½āāļø It HAD to be done! šš¾

Inspirationā¦.
āThatās the way I get sometimes, so THATāS why I can TOTALLY relate to that episode of the āElise Gets Craftyā podcast when she talks about how she goes nutty at the beginning of a big, new craft project, but that finally, she wipes away her tears and fears and her overthinking and starts to just fucking DO the thing. That the process begins to reveal itself AS she is moving through it. And that, EVEN if it DOESNāT work, AT LEAST she is not just visualizing it anymore; she knows for sure and can move the fuck on! š¤·š½āāļø Thatās where I am today. I have spent a good week visualizing the Starter Pack-making process, but hadnāt executed anything. Then, we wake up on Friday, and instead of one Starter Pack (https://bit.ly/BPJstreetteam ) to get our, weāve got TWO! š³š¤·š½āāļø āBut THAT'S a āgoodā problem to haveāone that we REALLY wantābecause it shows that folks are vibing with the music and the look of the band and want more, so weāre happy about that. š„³šš¾ My problem was that our fucking printer chose this very moment to give us fucking grief again! š³šš¤·š½āāļø āNo, this isnāt the FIRST time itās done this; but since the last time was probably more than six months ago, I fucking donāt remember what the fuck the solution to this problem wasāa solution, mind you, that take a hell of a lot of trial and error (which included buying 3 other printers that DIDNāT work! and had to be taken back) to solve! š³ āYes, that shit was traumatizing, which is probably why, once it seemed as if we had solved the problem, I put ALL the shit that it took to get the printer working again out of my mind and just tried to move on! š¤·š½āāļø āSo, to see that the problem is back RIGHT at the moment of needing to check getting these Starter Packs checked off my list was SUPER important, so at least I can say that itās ALMOST complete; even if I DIDN'T solve the problem for real. š¤·š½āāļøšš¾ RIGHT about now, I will settle for this win. I just fucking needed a win this morning! šš¤·š½āāļøšš¾ After a week of feeling blown by the breeze and not fully in control of ANYTHING, including my OWN time, I just needed SOMETHING to go right.

Phew!
ā- Ultimately, I am happy to say that I found my joy and tampered my expectations for it all. āAfter all, I am a recovering perfectionistā¦.. āSo, I am done with the entire ornament-making and mailing process and am ready for the next challenge that I have set for myselfāwhich is some kind of Valentineās Day snail mailing for our new record stores, fans, and music influencers.
We hope your Christmas was merry despite any changes due to Covid.
Finally
ā-Christmas has been taken down around here, which gets us in the mindset to look forward. We are going to be sharing our 2022 goals soon (in a podcast episode and in a blog post) and we will FINALLY be pulling back the curtains on the artist mentoring program that weāve been a part of for the last quarter of this year. āWe didnāt want to start TOO much TOO soon, because we wanted to grasp more of it ourselves first. āWe are finally ready to share some pros and cons, some of the results, and whether or not we are suggesting something like this for others, so if thatās something that youāre curious about, youāll want to stay plugged in for that.
