At the end of my songwriting session on October 26th, I felt like I only had one song. But when I went back and listened later, I realized that I had eight tracks that just needed a little more attention. So I spent another day (November 2nd) cleaning them up and adding more instruments. I’m still in a lyric slump, but I think there are some decent musical ideas in this bunch. Let me know what you think.

My session was very short this time, but I finally got back to writing some words. Well, only for the second track, but it’s better than nothing!

No words at all this time. I felt lucky to get anything down, actually. The theme for this session seems to be improvised electric guitar on every track. Better luck next time…
The total running time is 8:12.

A terrible day for writing words, but some decent tunes emerged.

I reached an all-time low for productivity this time. Just one real song. The critic raged all day, and I could not shut it down until the last hour and a half, when I spit out “The Benefits Of Friendship.”
The total running time of the tracks is 5:40.

I had a hard day. My throat was too messed up to sing much, I felt kind of sick, and I was in a generally bad mood that froze my creative flow. In the end, I decided to try writing songs named after the planets of our solar system. I only got as far as Venus.
This session lasted from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The total running time of the tracks is 6:27.

I learned how to use MIDI instrument tracks. Now I’ve got simulated drums, B3 organ, and “cello” in the mix. I also learned the ways of the reverb bus, and things have gotten considerably wetter.
This session lasted from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. The total running time of the tracks is 13:12.
