I’ve written two books. Well, 1.5 I’d say, the first is a compilation.
But if i were to write another, what would it be about? What would be in it? I don’t even know. I feel as though right now I’m not in a writing mood, but I’m in the mood to release something. But I’ve done little recording of music, and little writing. I have no ideas at the moment I feel strongly enough to throw into a few weeks/months of writing.
I suppose that’s how long it would take realistically if I got a strong urge to do it. I guess it’s more disappointing that this fall is the first time I’ve not made a public release in quite a while. Starting in 2015 I’ve released, or have been featured on a release for the last 4 years! 2015 was a band affair, 2016 I released my own debut record, 2017 was another record, 2018 was a record and a book. This year? Technically I think one of my books was released in 2019, but earlier in the year. Nothing much has transpired since.
Inspiration hasn’t hit me too hard lately. I think it’s the typical phases I find myself in. The ebbs and flows of my inner want to be creative in different areas and unfortunately, the recent suppression of the musical aspects of it. I don’t have a piano, I don’t have an interface and I don’t have a place to play or record drums. It’s been a real bummer and source of frustration this past year. There aren’t too many places in the area renting out for spaces, and the space downtown that rents rooms out I have yet to check pricing, but I’ve been told around $300 a month and I just can’t swing that right now. So it’s hard.
I did have an idea last year of a small table-top book for the holiday season, however that’s fallen to wayside and last year when I was more passionate about it, it was too late, so I decided (at the time) I would put it on the back burner for this year, working on it during the summer perhaps. Of course it never happened. I am not driven at home and during my free time to work on these things although I should.
I should be doing a whole lot, but I’m not.
