A Productive Week

A few days ago I went to bed at around midnight. I tossed and turned for about a half an hour, then I got up and worked on some songs for about four hours. I finished "Bad Boy With a Heart" and "Just Gets Harder"! Both songs had just been fragments for a couple of months, so I'm very happy that I was able to finally finish those.

I didn't finish any other songs over the past couple days, but I've started half a dozen new ones and added several lines to some old ones. It has definitely started out to be a very productive week and I plan on continuing that on my days off. Hopefully, this new level of energy and inspiration will last that long.

Fragments Update

I am on track to complete the five fragments mentioned in the previous post by the end of the year! I have also come up with some new pieces over the past week that I will begin developing as soon as I complete my current list.

I will be posting some of those lyrics on here for critique and feedback, as well as posting my own critiques of lyrics.

Those "To Be Completed" Projects

My songbooks have a lot of lyrics in them. And I think some of them have a lot of potential. The problem is that some of the ones that have potential aren't even finished.
I'll be at work or I'll be at home thinking about a person or an event. Suddenly an idea will come to me. I can hear it in my head. It sounds great. And more importantly it sounds promising. Then suddenly the inspiration is gone. And I'm left with a few lines of a song and no idea how to finish it.
Now it's a matter of prioritizing the song fragments I have. I have to ask myself two questions. Which pieces have the most potential? And which pieces will I be able to finish the fastest? Both questions are equally important and help me manage my time by directing my focus in an efficient manner.
I have too many projects in my songbook that still need to be completed. So this week I'll be putting together my list of the song fragments I want to finish. And by the end of the month I want to have at least three of them completed.
