    It’s just what I do by James @ 7:00 am

    It has been a while since I successfully completed a song I was working on.

    Over the weekend, I tried a little experiment. I set up my drum mosheen, amp, and 8 track recorder and cut loose. I programmed a drum beat, played guitar, hit record and played some more. Stopped the recorder, then programmed a new beat and repeated the process. I got nine song ideas down and recorded almost 33 minutes worth. Maybe not all of them will turn into something, but it feels like progress. Who’s to say?

    The point is, it’s all in your approach to problems that don’t feel like they can be solved. I have heard people say that they get around writer’s block by writing things that they know they don’t plan to use. Like lists of things. Or classified ads.

    ** Something I stumbled on today:
    Fashion and Beauty Photography By Joseph Cartwright

    ** Use FireFox. Get the StumbleUpon plug-in. It makes the Internet interesting again!

    ** Here’s a random song of mine over at MedinaLine.net: Long Day

    Talk to you soon.
