Day #11: 30 days of Songwriting
I did it anyway!! & Object Writing
Is it really Day #11?
I Guess time flies when you're having fun! ha, ha
Although for sure I am :)
so today was a very tired day.... had to rest my voice and my spirit needed a little downtime as well. wanted to make sure to be on point for a show tonight at Taps & Tapas, which was awesome!! And it was super to perform some new material.
anyway, I did not get any official writing time in before the gig. while there I was thinking, you know, I practiced and played today,and submitted material (which included a questionaire) for a song workshop. I just might not have the strength to actually sit and write. if i miss a day and don't even post here? well that will just be part of the process .... and the world will keep on turning
the show and seeing friends gave me a surge of energy. and as I turned the key to my apt, a thought struck me.... What if i take a few minutes to just do some writing exercises? As Opposed to focusing on re-writing or beginning a new song. So that was it! I did 2 rounds of object writing and it's amazing to feel how much easier, more fun and detailed this exercise is getting for me. essentially you describe in an object in detail. I did grilled cheese and then roses ( i wrote about some sad fading roses that I need to discard...) Cool! and so glad that I made it a point and wrote today :)
Tomorrow the plan is another 12 hour immersion! Keep you posted xo
