-find a pianist and do jazz singing [weddings, GB gigs] (to make quick $$)
-get a day/weekday job (for slower $)
-get band members for original music (slow ¢)
-start working on a novel (superslow ¢)

Does that make ¢?

And I shall go forth into the world, unafraid.

Damn straight I'm an artist, and hell no I'm not a flake. So there.
