You know what’s easier than following around your fave up-and-coming indie-stroke-pop stars, day in, day out, to see what they’re up to? Asking them.

This is when I normally wake up! Check email and lay in bed on phone time. Usually, the thought of saying good morning to my puppy Sammy (he’s 9 but he’s a puppy) entices me enough to eventually get out of bed after probably an unhealthy amount of scrolling (which I’ve been trying really really hard to limit! For my mental healf!!!). I try my best to have something for breakfast every day even if it’s small. Peanut butter oatmeal or a yoghurt are usually the key to this time of day, and I’ve also been trying to take some vitamins w my medicine in the morning before brushing my teeth and washing my face n stuff! :)

Around now I start gettin’ FULLY ready for the day (cus I’m a lazy creature and I crawl around my house at astonishingly slow speeds). I’ll get dressed and maybe put makeup on if I feel like it, then talk to my dad and tell him about plans for the day like recording or if I have any scheduled calls to get on. Sometimes I have remote writing sessions over Zoom or FaceTime, sometimes it’s more serious business-y calls that I get a little more anxious (but excited!!) about. Whatever it is, if it’s happening in the house and it’s sound-sensitive, I definitely tell my dad pretty early in the day because I live with him and my older brother who sometimes have noisy things to do!

If I have scheduled recording or writing sessions to do, this is around the time when I do em! I’m either on my laptop talking to a friend about making some new tunes/working on new albums(!!) or recording stuff in my car parked at a local mostly-empty church parking lot. I sometimes go to actual studio sessions in person, but for a lot of the time I’ve spent during COVID times, my trusty lil USB mic has done the trick for some of my favourite unreleased songs. If I’m not working on music though I’m probably playing Pokemon, Stardew Valley, or Animal Crossing New Horizons (though I’ve been depression-slacking on ACNH). I try to fit in a good lunch around this time too. Usually, it’s some sort of noodle bowl or miscellaneous cheesy food that I inhale and then go back to either working or playing video games.
