Yes, I know I’m late for my Day 90 Update. Things got a little hectic there at the end. To answer what must be the most important question, I didn’t do half-bad once the Challenge came to a close.
I imagine it became apparent toward the end that I was losing heart and also [...]

Well, it’s clear that I’m running out of steam before the challenge is officially over. It probably doesn’t help that I’m so far behind. I don’t recall working on any of the in-process songs at all this week. There is one song that I’d like to finish off before the end, so [...]

Oops!
With all the fuss around posting the music video on Friday, I forgot to write the weekly update on my 50/90 Challenge progress.
I don’t have any more songs ready to upload, today, but I have two strong contenders for being complete before the end of the month. At this point, they are instrumental [...]

No new music to post, but I’m working on something of a sekrit project that might lead to a few songs that are very different from what I have been posting so far.
I’m also still following along with Andrew’s piano lessons. I’m also still impatient to make my way through the whole series, almost [...]

I enter this weekend with at least three partial songs brewing. There may be one or two more, buried in the music computer (which is currently asleep).
Which means I am not raging like a house-a-fire in terms of writing songs.
I have a picture in my head of being buried up to my eyeballs in [...]

Sometimes I wonder if my day count is accurate. I didn’t actually sit down and chart out what each Saturday was supposed to be.
It’s been a productive week since the last post, as I’ve put together three more songs. That doubles my list for this challenge, but still leaves 44 more songs to [...]

This is simply filler.
There is no real substance to this post, except to say that there are no new songs to share.
This is simply filler.
I am wondering if a part of my brain is running the Nancy Regan playbook and has decided to Just Say No to the whole thing.
This is simply filler…
…but there may [...]

…and that would be a very early Day 44 Update, as it’s about a quarter past three in the morning as I start this post.
Tomorrow is the actual midpoint of this challenge, by which time (if someone is to be on schedule) twenty-five songs oughta be in the can. Let’s see where we’re at, [...]

This is the first track built since I reinstalled Windows XP on my desktop computer. What a trying ordeal that was! I don’t have the reinstall complete, but I do have Reaper up and running, and was loading up my VST folder and trying a few things out to make sure that they [...]

Still not finished fixing the computer…
Oh, wait… Sorry, that’s just me on autopilot, because this week I’m happy to report that I finally have the desktop computer back to original factory condition. What’s next will be to reinstall my peripherials and then rebuild the software environment. No ETA on that, but I [...]
