planting trees, one by one, to stand in front of a forest.




I keep saying this to myself...and my husband is the person who said it to me originally.

A forest is only one tree planted one at a time.

Which translates: You have enough songs, stop writing more, get the ones you have recorded, release album, stop tinkering with ... STUFF.  He's so analytic and logistical... you ever meet someone that you wish you could wander their brain like a maze because it's so fascinating and different from your own?  Well I want to wander in the brain of Steve.  I should have included that little tid-bit in our vows...

My way (as with most creatives) is ass-backward:
Record songs, stop recording midway because that new song popped into head again and "have to get it down before it leaves", work on site, record, launch site, make site with Flash, bang head and have to make it HTML5 compatible, plan tour stops, look at fiberglass small campers for tour, amass countless promotion ideas, resume recording, edits show videos, type songs for copyright process, look up "how to start a publishing company", record, re-record the vocals on one track because "I can do better", brew beer for Oktoberfest, write storyboard for music video, play ukulele....

Eventually, in my own special way, it get's done.
