Seriously.
I would be remiss in creating a true reflection of what making this record has been like without addressing the fine art of artistic resistance.
Really, I don’t even have to journal about it, because the last few (“few” being the operative word) posts illustrate it.
Now, most of the album is recorded. I’m recounting it chronologically, but I didn’t write or record it that way. But to you, my fine reader, you’re left pondering…”What’s next? What’s happening with those vocals? Will there ever be a second song?”
Or maybe you’re not. Maybe my lack of approaching the subject has left you with less than stellar interest in my project.
I could use the stock excuses for not being more frequent in blogging. All of them would be true to a certain extent. “I’ve been busy working on other things.”–I have. I launched another site (SVM’s corporate production studio), I’ve had a good deal of projects from some of our favorite clients that I’ve either been producing or recording for, I’ve jumped head on into a business coaching program that I’ve been loving, and, it being June, I’ve been vacuuming up a ton of animal hair from my couch every day.
But really, to be as completely honest and reflective of the process as I want this blog to be, the real culprit is good ol’ resistance. Just like with the recording process, I get a good flow going, then sometimes a little unconscious voice pops up that say, “Nah, you need to chill on that. Do this instead.” It’s the same voice that talks me into cheesecake when I need to be hitting my Yoga mat.
I’m one of those people that has a hard time making myself and my own work as much of a priority as I make the time and work of others. It’s one of the reasons why having a pro coach has been really good for me. Someone else helps me set up deadlines for ME, and I can’t use an excuse to scrap it or put someone else ahead of ME in line. I’ll have to answer for it if I do.
So, my dear readers, with that admitted and forgiveness given to myself for falling off of the ‘flow’ wagon, I’m back on the blog. Updates will be more frequent.
