So my chief musician, Christian, has begun college for the fall semester. Normally this would be a good thing; however, it means that he now has no time to work with me on our music. I unfortunately had to pull out of school for the semester due to financial restrictions.
At first, this left me at a complete standstill, unable to practice songs, and unable to record further progress. I also have issues with the computer I use for my writing (the computer I use for the internet is not mine) so that further restricts progress. Then I got the idea to put an ad on the internet that briefly described my vocal talents and also the music style I preferred. I also responded to an ad posted by a guy who was hoping to start up a band right near me.
I got a call the other night regarding my response to the ad. The guy was very interested and also motivated. He was eager to meet up and discuss different issues, but there was one drawback: his phone was not working. It still isn't. So as of right now, I'm still at a standstill.
I also got one response to my ad, so I quickly responded back. So far I have gotten no follow up and it has been 4½ days.
Should starting a band really be this hard? Why does it seem to be that I am the only one who has the motivation, but nothing ever comes of it?
Is this where I'm supposed to quit?

To quit what you love???
I see, it is very difficult to start up a band, but what you need to make music is patience!!
Can you play any instrument? Perhaps you could learn or play acoustic guitar (it´s easy to play only chords for singing- even I practice that way...)! So you make music, get ideas, get some practice and are not at a standstill!! At first you should play songs that you know and like... you can do that!! And be patient :-)
Thanks a lot. I often need encouragement in times like this, most other people just don't seem to care. Maybe I'll just have to try and concentrate on thinking up new parts for the songs I still haven't finished.
:-) Hope to hear some good news soon!! We have to encourage ourselves sometimes and it´s easier to care if you know those situations.
