Bits 'n' pieces
August has been something of a 'bitty' month where I have had a series of small-ish projects to do (e.g. recording the demo for Moon On a Stick the musical for future promotional purposes, finishing draft 1 of City Girl (working title) a new musical I'm working on, doing a cue for a Discovery channel series (more on this later on), working in London with a pop producer, and doing a few dead glamorous domestic things and future planning. It's been a lot of days here and days there without too much focused time of one thing. In such circumstances I tend to find it hard to feel like I've accomplished a lot even though I have actually worked quite hard. My friends tell me I'm too harsh on myself, but privately I have found this sort of bittiness tends to bring out a (perhaps unnecessary) sense of failure-to-do-anything-at-all. Must be some strain of acerbic puritanism in my DNA.... however, Emerson said 'it's dearness that gives everything its value'. Memo to self.... read more optimistic transcendentalist thought....
