Does anybody remember Robert Pattison pre Twilight? Aside from being Cedric Diggory in the Harry
Potter films, he was a talented musician.
If you saw Twilight, you would have heard his song, and his talents as
he played (yes, it was him, not dubbed over) the piano. So what happened to his music career? It could have developed alongside acting
right? Or no?
My point is that I must be barking mad trying to balance two
difficult careers. My writing is doing
very well at the moment and despite my having developed my jewellery making
skills and photography (pics for the jewellery) it’s just not going
anywhere. I love it. I really, really love it. It also keeps me sane when I’m battling it
out with editing. But it’s not making
anything. Do I keep at it or focus just
on writing? I’ve just registered my
maker’s mark with the Assay office – expensive, but a legal requirement for the
UK
So how does Pattison deal with it? Does he moonlight as a musician under an
assumed name, hoarding off the adoring vampiric fans? Or will he wait until the acting career has
fizzled into a comfortable level and then do a bit of band work on the side
(thinking of Adrian Edmondson and The Bad Shepherds - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Aulos-NGsk)
Getting paid for my writing today and not for any of the
rings I’ve made this month is probably the sign that I’ve been putting
off. The problem is that I can’t
STOP. So… if you’ve read this, thought,
hmm… I need to wear some pirate rings to put me in the piratey mood while I
read Blood Tide… http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blood-Tide-Promise-Freedom-ebook/dp/B0099POPGW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359111765&sr=8-1
