Why I Haven't Blogged In So Long?

To whom it may concern.


I haven't been blogging in a long while. The last time I blogged was in February. I have a tendency to run out of things I wanted to say. I didn't want to blog about anything unless it was about my music. It gets boring just blogging about the same old thing.


I know I don't have a huge following or anything like that. I know that I am not a big star. Shucks, I don't even have a local following in the local music scene in Dayton.


I am forty-seven years old. I am a black male with autism. I am an artist. I don't think that the public is ready for a forty-seven year old autistic black artist who writes instrumentals. The climate of the music business these days sucks. It is about eye candy and not ear candy.


I am not signed to a record label. In fact, I don't want to be. I have been an artist for seven years doing it all by myself. I don't know how long I will be an artist. I will always write but it is getting to a point within five years time that I will shut down some of my music pages.


I know I will have to promote harder online. I just don't want to put the same links over and over on Twitter as well as Facebook like I am spamming for no good reason.


There are lots of great artists out there who are doing the indie route as well. I have listened to lots of artists and groups on Reverbnation. Some of them are excellent. Some of them are good. Some of them really suck, needless to say.


I need  a reason to keep blogging but I just need to blog when I have something to say.


I am going to be me. I am not going to be something that I'm not. I won't start right now. One day I will just fade away. That is all for now.


Disappointed,
Robert L. Watson
