Yesterday and yesterday and yesterday.

And so the writing process is processing. Slowly, but something is definitely on the way.

After purchasing my very own traveling guitar (I call Bob Bailey), I find myself writing something new everyday. Mind you, I am still only writing with 3 chords and maybe adding in a small twinge of a difference here and there, but it always comes to a new song. Hey, if Paramore can write "the only exception" with 3 - 4 chords, then why can't I?

So I have made plans to do a little traveling next year. New air, new experiences and who knows what else I could learn while there. People to meet and musicians with a whole different insight on music, surely an experience I am looking forward to.

I have been digging into my past lately. Not to say that I have much of an interesting past, but looking at how life was so much more easier then and my only worries were exams and (ashamed as I am, this is truth) the boys who I knew. I found a poem which a guy I liked dearly had written to me ages ago. Back then the poem had scared me. But now I find myself looking at it for inspiration. Keep in mind, this was 6 years ago. Does not seem that long ago, but I was 16 back then!!! And now, that seems like forever ago.

Much has changed.

But the emotions still remain.

We learn from our mistakes. So I say, we should make more. And with that, we write. I learn, I write.

And thus, music shall be born. Hopefully it's good. =)

Pen and Paper

quiet nights of quiet stars,
quiet chords from my guitar
time to rest and write and sing
and see what inspiration will brings.

yeap I am taking a couple of weeks off to get down to the song writing. Tis a shame that I do not play an instrument at the moment which is proving to be a real pain! But i am picking up more and more from the guitar everyday, but of course i have to get out of the comfort zone of just 4 chords. slowly slowly, what I have done to get the writing working is buying re chargeable batteries for my voice recorder! And I have also found some old original ideas which I think would be cool to work on.

ALSO found in my voice recorder was a recording of my original track "would you be true" which I wrote 2 years ago! Just gotta re write the lyrics and get it worked on and I am sure it is something I will be working on more. Does any of this make sense? Hmmm I type too much.

Anyway, so this is to just let you know that YES I am writing my own stuff and all I need to do is get the guts to put them on a live stage!

Dream!!!!

So here are just some things I do everyday.
  • check my phone
  • check my mail
  • read my book
  • watch tv
  • play my baby guitar
  • try to write
  • harass my manager with details on up comming events
  • curse at Facebook
Other then that, i spend my day just daydreaming about the things I know i want to do. And that in itself is something I am thankful for; I know what i want. And darn it I am going to work to get it!

Know your dreams, you are the only one who can.
