Today the lady who runs my local coffee shop asked me how my music was going (I’ve performed there before). I told her it’s going kind of slow, because I’m in a happy relationship so there’s not enough angst in my life for me to generate decent work.
However, after thinking about it more, that’s total bullshit. I just haven’t been putting the time in.
Damian suggested that I do something similar to the “game jams” he goes to, where a bunch of people stay in a room for a few hours or a few days and have to make a game during that time… I would basically shut myself up in my bedroom, armed with a ukulele, guitar, keyboard, laptop, microphone, video camera, notebook, and pen, and not let myself leave until a song was finished.
Pretty excited to do this. Maybe I’ll schedule it for next Monday, which is Family Day, since I know I won’t be up to anything anyway.
