Tonight's goal was a simple one: I wanted to finish up the song structure and arrangements for the rest of the songs in my album-in-a-month project. What ended up happening instead was even better than that.
I not only:
1) Finished up the arrangements for the songs I know I want to include in the final project, I also
2) Figured out how many of the 14 initial ideas (11 of them) were on a level where I felt they ought to be included on the record.
I'm holding the other three songs back in reserve, just in case I have a further breakthrough with one of them, but for right now, I'm going to focus more of my attention on the 11 that I feel strongly will make the record when all is said and done.
That means that tomorrow I get to start worrying about lyrics and track order and recording in a more urgent, "this is all that's left to do" type of manner. Somehow, even looking at that last sentence written out, it doesn't seem as daunting as I thought it would.
Here's hoping that tomorrow is a productive one.
