Replying to 95bc07f3...

I poured my blood and sweat into making that album with madman determination. The only thing I ever worked harder at was… you guessed it.

And transition has already given me so much back.

Since I cracked, I found I didn’t really need to cling to making music like I did. Haven’t even touched a guitar in over a year. Mostly I practice singing with my new voice, and I’m finally getting comfortable with that. Maybe even pretty good? But I don’t really write songs anymore.

I don’t really need to. Not yet anyway. At some point there may be Valerie Mars music, but it will only be once I’ve settled into my new life well enough that I’m doing it for fun & art instead of desperation.

I guess you could say I’ve been my project for the past 2 1/2 years. But instead of sculpting sound waves, I’ve been the sculpture. My version of Venus, the one called Mars.

“Sitting in the stand of the sports arena

Waiting for the show to begin

Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine

A good friend of mine, follows the stars

Venus and Mars are alright tonight”

— Paul McCartney,

“Venus and Mars”
