I actually got the studio program to do what I wanted a few days ago. I just found it so discouraging when it seemed to withhold my work from me that I didn't feel like producing much music or literature. But, after reading a few blogs I've been following, inspired by my fellow bloggers and amateur musicians, I feel like I'm ready to get the ball rolling again.
Unfortunately, the piece that I was arranging for the Apollyon blog didn't quite sound the same when I returned to it. That's the funny thing about composing: if you put a composition aside for a while and forget about it, sometimes it seems kind of dumb to you when you go back and listen to it with fresh ears. Maybe I was never meant to post the piece. Maybe it was an embarrassment in the making. Maybe it would have killed my (already struggling) reputation. Maybe the program that was refusing to export the file to mp3 knew better than me and was trying to save me...
Something in particular has come up that I'm extraordinarily excited about. I would share, but if it falls apart then I would have built up a lot (mainly my own) of expectation for nothing. We'll see how it goes. I will say it does involve a little thing called the Polar Bear Project; I guess you never really know when someone is paying attention to what you are doing and saying, so you always have to keep at whatever it is you do, regardless of what others around you are doing...

If you're wondering about the coyote and the weird guy I spotted in the woods behind our house, well, welcome to the club. I haven't heard squat about the man and haven't seen hide nor hair of the coyote.

Thanks to my readers and faithful commentators. It's nice to know that we're not "writing into a void" as one of my fellow bloggers once put.

Hahah! Nice! Funny, creative, and clever! :)
ReplyDeletep.s. nice title! :P
xxx
:D sounds cool
ReplyDeleteYou have such an interesting life. I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way with my writing though. I'll write a short story, put it somewhere, come back to it, and then want to destroy it because it sounds too cheesy or it's not descriptive enough.
Glad your program is working for you again!
ReplyDeleteExtraordinarily excited about? Now I really wanna know, lol! :)
Ah, well, the coyote story was fun... keep an eye out though and let us know...
All the best, Logan!
Hi, Logan! Sometimes, I think that it helps to "write into a void" as you've mentioned. It makes blogging stress-free and cathartic.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, did you take that photo in this post? It's so beautiful! I just bought myself a DSLR and still learning the ropes on how to use it and, hopefully, take great pictures.
I did take the picture but had to do some photo editing...
ReplyDeleteKrista, you're awesome! I'm waiting for a new post from you...
Ah, thanks Logan!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I know, I know! This weekend I'm hoping to do just that! Well, actually maybe before then or after(lol) 'cause my little ones B-day party is this saturday :) Keep an eye out though 'cause there will be one as soon as I am able, lol :)
Oh, and I love the photo too :) good work!
