Do you play music (or compose, or whatever you do)?
This is my first composition (in the merrie melodies style). Inspired from getting drunk and watching my ferrets play around the house and "hunt" the cat and lose.
I don't know your experience but I wish I could have gone to a serious music school even if I never played professionally. I suppose you've heard that before. A cousin of mine did that for piano - they knew they weren't good enough for the very few performing jobs in their instrument, hadn't started young enough, etc., but they pursued it through the undergraduate level and lessons beyond that. (I wasn't nearly good enough for music school.)
I was shocked when I learned about the age thing. I thought my cousin was exaggerating and asked an accomplished professional musician and teacher at a leading music schol about it. They agreed with my friend absolutely - unless someone starts as a child, they couldn't advance far enough.
