I love it. As someone who is putting more and more energy into making music this resonates with me strongly. I need to figure out a way to get to part time work.

One piece of advice about creative hobbies - set it up so you have a feedback loop. Maybe I'm just an insecure jerk, but I really found that getting feedback and encouragement motivates me to keep trying. Oh, and try to get that feedback from your peers, not friends and family. They mean well but you'll never get honest criticism.
