being a musician makes it hard to choose for any option in this poll...
Yes, I am "employed" as a songwriter, but that also means that as long as I dont do anything, nobody would care anyway. No songs = no possible money (not to mention that you never know how much anything you've written will actually bring in). Thats just how publishing deals work...
I will sign a contract with a management/record company soon as well...which will mean that I also get to be employed as an artist. That will certainly change things in terms of consistency.
Being a musician is also not a part time/full time thing. There are days you spend 20 hours on producing, and there are weeks where basically nothing happens...
In any case it will keep your mind occupied 24/7, keeping your mind open to new inspiration, thinking a lot about things...etc!
