For October, my goals are to visit the Soup Kitchen for a reality check re my song “Sacred Soup Kitchen”
and record & send to the composer my melody for her song “Wake Up the World”
and…maybe..record “Midnight Prayer” for YouTube
Our schedule is crowded after our Retreat
My October Goals
1. Finish cowrite with Jamie
2. Attend October NSAI meeting
3. Cowrite with Neu’Raye
4. Submit songs to pitching opps
5. Work on topline idea for ST country track
My goal for October is to do as many co-writes & pitches as possible! Already reached out to a co-writer for my blues song & getting my new country song ready for the pitch to Trick Pony. Feelin’ good about it.

By the way… It is an honor to be a contender in the Special Event pitch to write with Trick Pony…..EEEEK So GRATEFUL… but I love your encouragement to EVERYONE for putting it out there, striving, pressing on… and just GOING for it! THANK YOU for everything!!!
Donna, thank you so much for your kind words and support! Congratulations on the Special Event! We have so many talented writers participating, I don’t know how they are going to choose just one. I sure wouldn’t want to have to do it.
