April Fall – Music Release

New music, two new music(s). ‘April Fall’, and ‘We Fall, but We can Stand Again’. It is about time I release some new music. So I quickly threw this together… well really, I threw it aside so I could get to work constructing some new music from a bunch of messy ideas rolling around inContinue reading “April Fall – Music Release”

Get Started by Making a Mess

What people (inadvertently, I’m sure) forget to mention when we were children was that we need to make messes in order to find out who we are and why we are here – and by extension, what we’re supposed to be writing. Anne Lamott, ‘Bird by Bird’ pg.61. I like this from Bird by Bird,Continue reading “Get Started by Making a Mess”

Bird by Bird, Buenos Dias

E.L.Doctorow once said that “writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” You don’t have to see where you’re going, you don’t have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way.Continue reading “Bird by Bird, Buenos Dias”

Keep it Rolling, Your Mountain Awaits, Go Go Go

You have to keep rolling, you have to. Keep that momentum building, keep it moving even if it’s just a millimetre, it’s moving forwards, that’s what’s important. That’s it, pick a spot, a destination – build your own mountain, call it what you will. Find a blank page, mark a dot for yourself then atContinue reading “Keep it Rolling, Your Mountain Awaits, Go Go Go”

“Damn you Blubbering Nonsense and Your Blubbering Nonsense, I Almost Had it”

‘..Everyone has a story and everyone deserves to be listened to..’ – Simon Sinek, Start With Why Tell a story, tell your story, write and share it with this world. I do not know why I haven’t followed this for some time, why I haven’t continued my curiosity within writing and blogging. As it’s aContinue reading ““Damn you Blubbering Nonsense and Your Blubbering Nonsense, I Almost Had it””

Day 43 I Suppose? – Follow

Truth is, I haven’t been blogging at all. Partly, I feel – What is the point? Why should my journey or opinions matter? The belief in my words and documentation of my journey is often beat down by low self-esteem, and trodden on by the opinions of those around me. This combination cycles around andContinue reading “Day 43 I Suppose? – Follow”

Day 20, Tadpole

“There’s a coffee stain in your dictionary,” said Left. “Or is there a dictionary in my coffee stain?” asked Right. “That literally makes no sense,” said Left.“Why do you think I’ve a dictionary then?” asked Right. And there’s that episode of ‘Today Gone’. But what is ‘Today Gone’? You may ask, or you may justContinue reading “Day 20, Tadpole”

Day 18, Time Limit instead of Word Count

Each day consists of reading a lot, and writing – perhaps not as much as I do reading. I still see this as productivity within the pursuit to be a writer. Whilst reading I jot down, anything I find informative, any new words or sentences and dialogues that interest me, and quotes I find inspiring.Continue reading “Day 18, Time Limit instead of Word Count”

Day 12, Reading Instead of Blogging :o

A live streaming gig. The current way a musician can continue to share their music and connect with their fans. I’ve always found this odd, though these new ‘Quarantine/Isolation Festival’ Facebook groups are wonderful to play for. Interacting viewers from across the globe, sitting in their home comforts watching and/or listening to you doing whatContinue reading “Day 12, Reading Instead of Blogging :o”
