I have entered a phase of songwriting.

I have the house to myself for several days a week.

This is such a luxury. The time too.

This is my cabin in the woods. It’s as close to that as I will likely get.

This is just how it works.

I am putting up lots of ideas and bad takes as I work on songs on my Instagram. I use Insta like a garbage dumb and journal for ideas. Rough cuts of me playing simply recorded, mostly single tracked. But I do have an easy multi track option available and that is opening up some new possibilities in my head.

I have some songs I could develop further, and I’m just not sure how far to go down the whole at home production track. It seems quite the trend, but right now I’m not sure I am that interested. I don’t need to feed my perfectionistic tendencies. I like raw recordings anyway. I am in no way pretending to be professional. That might change or maybe I can figure out a middle way. Who knows?

And the ideas keep coming at me and I can’t keep up with the writing.

How I wish I had more time! But life keeps butting in (as it does). So onward.

There will be occasional poems and journal entries like this one.

Life moves pretty fast, y’know?
