Pricing, and getting discovered

 I have the desire to make all our Fish For People content free.  To do this, I would need to bring in more money from Lightning Lucas.  It's a complex ecosystem, and it is never quite finalized.  Most likely, a big Patreon Push would be the ticket, or part of the ticket anyway.

I'd like to buy a new microphone (perhaps a Blue Yeti Pro XLR), and a new laptop (should I switch to Mac???).  Actually, a large debate currently in my mind is how much recording I can do at home.  Perhaps I can't do any Fish For People recording at home, but I can do Lightning Lucas recordings at home.  I was just reading about the specs on the microphone I just mentioned, and it says it can record sound up to 4x more in depth than CD quality... When would I ever need sound of that quality?  I don't know, but I guess it has its place.  I've come to view all the recordings I've ever made as Lightning Lucas as demo quality.  If a more important organization ever 'discovered me,' they would certainly want to rerecord most things.  That is why I've only put a few albums on Spotify, and I've made many of my Bandcamp recordings and YouTube videos private.

I've realized that the songs on the radio are not all great, but they all have a really high standard of recording quality.  It's all a matter of switching the gears of life... do I have to slowly improve my recording quality, or is there a way to make a bigger jump?  Can I 'get discovered?'  You'd think if I were 'discoverable material' that I would have been discovered by now.  

For now, it's time to get in the habit of writing again.  Today, listen to this.

That's not an Uber

 I would be a bit tempted to drive for Uber, but I can't because my car only has two doors. I guess I could do Uber eats or something else like that. What I really need to do is just actually work for myself. There is plenty to do, and some of it actually makes money.  I just listened to a book summary that argued that extrinsic motivation can be harmful. I think I agree. The drives I talked about last week, the appetites, are intrinsic. How then can we adjust the appetites without having to call that adjustment 'extrinsic motivation'? It's all a semantics game after all, but it's a semantics game worth playing I think. Like how reverse psychology totally works in certain situations.  I'm parked next to a stone wall, and I have the sudden realization that life is more like a stone wall than a brick wall. In the end you're going to end up with a wall, but to begin with you're probably going to deal with some irregularities. On the other hand our days are ...

Wake up, you need to make money.

Last night I journaled about it, and this morning I am planning on it. I'm going to sell some more of my stuff. I already have way less stuff than I once did, but more of it has got to go. Especially duplicates. I have two Sun lamps. I rarely use either of them, so I'm going to sell the nicer one. I have a smartphone gimbal which I have never even used (other than to just turn it on and make sure it works). That's got to go. But the one I'm sorry about is my bike. I've been thinking about it for a long time. It's got to go. I don't need a bike that is half as nice as the one I have. And I need the money. If and when I make more money I can always buy a similar bike again. I believe I've been called to steward all the things in my life. And the time. Right now I'm not stewarding the things I have well because I'm spreading myself too thin. (I have too much stuff).  And I'm not stewarding the time well either because I'm not scheduling a pr...

What if I actually?

Created something daily!? Something good. Perhaps the blog would be the thing to try again. Perhaps it should just be a blog for a blog's sake? Or perhaps I should focus on my new Christian album. Or perhaps I should get a normal job. Or maybe some combination of all of them. I don't think I'm cut out for a normal job, perhaps I should get disability if I could. Perhaps I don't deserve it. There's a lot of things in my life I don't deserve. Some good and some bad. Perhaps the cards just fall where they're going to fall. Perhaps that is mixing metaphors. This air filter is quite noisy, perhaps it needs to be cleaned. Perhaps I'll make some more fizzy water. Perhaps I should go on a longer walk today. Perhaps I should get the psychiatrist to give me a drug-induced lobotomy so that I can function in this society, even if I do have to become a robot.  That's it for today, no podcast recommendation, because as I said, maybe I need to blog for blogging sak...
