writing & junk from the past
hannah myrberg for hearty magazine 2010
i wonder if shaggy knows he got a mention in my old staff bio for hearty, back in 2010...'cause it's still on their website.
i wonder if that's why it was so hard to find freelance work when i was still writing and starving. meh. who needs money or food when your art is anchored to nuggets and shaggy, mon?
after the excerpt from my total clown bio, you can find links to my personal favorites from my brief, but blessed (thanks mish) time at hearty magazine.
ps :
i left to go to jazz school f/t. it was great, and i was the only female there, and i got to attend 3 years of school for free. my first year as a jazz guitar major was the happiest time of my life. i played music all day, every day, and didn't have to work (i got a grant that covered my tuition, and my...life.)
but that was five years ago, and i must say - both hearty and music school were magical, great things for my life - but they were also equally useless when it came time to career up. i spent my second year at jazz school homeless, living out of my locker and sleeping on floors.
and still, i don't make a living off either writing or music, to this day.
i work with drug addicts and mentally ill people for a living - which i love more than i can say. but still...i'm not the artist i thought i'd be by now. it didn't pan out, after a whole lifetime of practicing and playing and pushing.
but i guess it's a life of food/security/rent vs. a life of art. or something.
ah, getting older is such a treat. you end up having to choose between yr dreams or yr boring, farty old reality. and i choose nuggets, mon.
ok i'll shut up about my blessed life of failure and offensive bloodclot jamaican-isms now.
...mon.
cuz jamaican me look like an asshole, blog.
