Thanks Taxi - First Earnings from Lyric Writing
Posted: Fri May 15, 2015 8:51 am
First thing I want to say is Thank You Michael Laskow and Taxi. Without your advice, education, critiques, comments on returns, Taxi TV, the Forum, Robin Frederick + her books, and most of all the incredible people I now call my friends who are the heart of Taxi - the members, I would never be in the position I am in today.
This week, 1 year into my 5 year plan, I earned my first money (in the bank
) from my lyric writing. I can't describe how affirming and good it feels. I really can do this ! 
I wrote the lyrics to 2 songs to go on a cd for a good international production music company, who paid an upfront payment for the lyrics, plus I will earn on the back-end if they get placements.
Now this was not from a Taxi forward, BUT as I live in a wood on the west coast of Ireland, I would never in a million years have had the contacts with this level of the business, if it was not for being a Taxi member and for the members who help me and each other, and of course all the services that are the Taxi Added Extras
I have songs in several libraries, and on a couple of CDs, but this is the first 'cash' in the bank
So again, thank you Taxi and all your members
ps I was a member for a year, but then due one of life's wee downs, I was broke and have had to wait to rejoin. But rejoin I will as soon as I can
