My last update here was in April: today is the 1st of October 2011. I have kept to my promise earlier this year that 2011 was going to be the year of laser focus. Some news…
ZOT Zin Music, LLC. Yes, I have been busy building my business and am glad to inform that my company is an LLC now.
Icky’s Ego now has a publicist. We also signed a production/recording deal with the the engineer who did the last NIN and Perfect Circle records, and a producer he likes working with. Very exciting.
Programmers and designers are currently working on my new teaching website, which I can’t wait to be done. www.vreny.com will primarily be used as my artist website, and no longer advertise my music teaching. The new website, currently still under construction, is: Click here for ZOTZinMusic.
. The new website should be up and running in about 2 weeks.
I am still writing on my 2 books now, and yes I am still planning to finish all the writing this year indeed. I have a graphic designer friend in India who is currently designing all the chord diagrams and scale fingering graphics for my music/guitar theory book. I emailed him 150 pages of hand written guitar diagrams. That should keep him busy for a while. 
I started the whole process to get my ZOTZinMusic business name and logo trademarked a couple of months ago. Received fantastic news yesterday from the attorney who is working on my case. My trademark is approved. Now it is just waiting another 5-6 months for all the publications and administration to be finalized. Another step forward.
I toyed with the idea of getting my Masters in Spiritual Psychology next year. Being that I never do anything half assed, I immediately went on to order EVERY book the University of Santa Monica recommends on the topic… and ended up with an order of over 120 books. My teaching studio now also looks like a library… and my mail man loves me.
