It's for your own good...Vocalist

Don't worry about stats on the page.

It isn't the whole

Story. You can

Take all of those numbers and

React in a very

Aggressive way....but it won't help.

Can you see my point of view?

Try to write for yourself

Instead of worrying about

Ovations and pennies in your account.

Now, get to work...

    It is more of a competition than about money. I want to be better that you, to think that my story is better than yours , kind of a thing. A contest. I keep saying, write for the love of it. But deep down, everyone wants the icing on the cake.
