So, for the first time in forever, I'm late posting. That's what I get for falling asleep on the couch. I played for a bit when I got home from work, though, so that makes it easier to just sit down and write. Much of it was like yesterday, getting myself to feel better about my acoustic playing. I still have it in my head that I need to start writing again soon, but I figure, if it's not happening naturally, I'm not going to worry about it all that much. It'll happen when it's supposed to, right? Still, I think I need to be more diligent about carrying a notebook on my person at all times. Some old habits don't need to change in the new year.
Today was the first official day of the second half of my "album-in-a-month" challenge. As for today's goals, I wanted to see what I could get done in regards to track order, and get at least a little bit of a start on the lyric writing process. I spent more time working on the track order question than I did on the lyrics today, but as a result of that, I ended up with something that I think will work in terms of order. I did sit with the notebook for a few minutes at the very end of the day, and got a solid starting line of lyric and some other ideas that I hope will be jumping off points for lyrics. What I'm thinking I might do, however, is switch my focus from the lyric writing part of the process directly to the recording part of the process. That way, if I can get the music recorded and burned onto a CD, I can take the music with me in the car, and listen and try to see what images and thoughts the music brings up. It's a tactic that has worked for...
