My trip south to seventy begins tomorrow mid-day after an early Christmas breakfast with my mom. I will be updating as I am able to along the trip - just letting everyone know where I am, what I am doing, and how my goals are coming along.
First, I have eleven pages completed from the CYOA book, which means 129 to go. Daunting, not really - it was actually a ton of fun to write those eleven pages. This will be the big you just need to sit down and actually do it one.
Second, I wrote a first draft of the lyrics of one of my songs. It's more of a theme song than anything else and after re-reading it I can't help but feel that it has a negative feel, which is totally not my intention. Looks like I'm going to have to toy with the lyrics but for now here they are. I will not be recording the album though during my trip, I will be recording it with a real musician after I get back (so I will still be writing all of the songs). I have included the first verse here. Anyone out there wanna be my musician and record all my songs? Currently entertaining offers!
I'm driving south to 70, one way to clear my mind
Only stopping for gas
Stopping to write
Stopping to see what I can find
PS. Thanks odd southern band that has a logo for my trip...
