I got up somewhat early today. It gave me a chance to do a little playing before I had to go to work. The chief result of this playing was my discovering that I actually still liked the work I had gotten done last night. That happens with me a lot, where I'll find an idea I like one moment, and then later discover that I don't like it half as much as I thought I did. It's actually a chief reason why my lyrics are in a perpetual state of "undone."
The cool thing about this morning is that it represents progress from the last time I worked on songs for this project. Last time, I woke up the next day and hated nearly everything I had been working on the day before.
No, I think this time I've got myself a solid group of three or so ideas, with maybe a holdover from the previous writing session that still hasn't quite sorted itself out yet. I know that leaves quite a bit of work still to be done, but in all fairness, I haven't had this much progress on anything for a solo project in a long, long time, so as long as it's working, I'll continue to take it for what it is: progress. And I've still got a week and a half to go. I admitted to myself a while back that I wasn't thinking everything would be recorded this month, and in a way, that has freed me up to make sure the musical ideas aren't just thrown together for the sake of having something. I still need to work faster and find the good at a quicker pace if I'm going to get this done, but I want to have a record that sounds unique and creative at the same time, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
It's good. It's working. I didn't get as much done today as I could have, but tomorrow night should be a productive one for this, so that's exciting for me.
