Forget. Lighten up. Have Fun.

May 10th and I’m officially four songs in. 27 songs to go in… 21 days. Here’s what strikes me about this go ‘round so far. Sometimes its easy to let my censor have the last word or to just not ‘feel like’ it. I still fully expect to have 31 songs written by the end of May 31st, and this time I find there’s a lot more fear that’s going along with the whole experience. All told I feel like I had a really productive February. I’ve been playing some of the songs out and getting good feedback on some of them too. What if I’m out of ideas? What if I don’t have any more good songs left in me? Why am I even worried about this when so much of my experience says commit to the writing and the songs will follow. And all the same, I do worry about it. I worry about what people will think of my songs. I worry about what people will thing of my demos that aren’t all pretty and polished. And in the end, I’m dedicated to working through all that as well. The general guidelines still apply. Forget what I think I know, lighten up, have fun. Here’s to having fun!
