    I have a niece who's in high school and is a singer as well as being interested in video. When I wrote Have Fun, Get Paid, I dedicated it to her (she doesn't know this yet) since it's all the stuff I had to learn the hard way that I wish I had known at her age. Got my author copies in today, so now I get to send her one, which will be a surprise. This is the fun stuff. :-D

    Isn't this close to "I like writing so the solution is to buy my book and read about how I like writing...."

      Could be worse. They could run off with musicians. :-D

        ~10 years before that's even remotely possible.

          I'm usually pretty good at circular logic, but that one leaves me dizzy. :)

            That's okay. Go ahead and buy the shotgun anyway. You can never have too many marksmanship skills.

              I also have the Amazon links in my sig. Paperback is up but it'll be a week or so for Kindle. As for being bad at most of the rest, I feel uniquely qualified to discuss career strategies because I'm at best an average musician on a good day. I figure if I could make a living at it, anyone can. :-D

                I'm trying to learn the art of subtlety. It doesn't come naturally to some of us. :-D

                  Rifle. Shotguns are sort of a "point-in-the-general-direction" kind of thing as far as marksmanship goes.

                      True :-O. I was just bemused at the notion of marksmanship with a shotgun.

                        True enough. However, it's somewhat related to my personal definition of marksmanship when it comes to handguns. I'm much more accurate with a 15 round clip than I am with a 10. I mean, sooner or later one of them's bound to hit the target, right? :)

                          I figure 6 rounds is good enough. If I can't stop her in six shots, I deserve to be raped.

                              There's a joke in there about shooting blanks, but I'm arsed (as our UK friends would say) if I can figure it out. :laugh:
