As mentioned, I've been working on songwriting. I now have 15 songs partially written. It's been tough though. I don't exactly know what I'm doing; I haven't done a lot of songwriting before, and there isn't a formula or clear steps. It's a creative process, so different people work in different ways. It's been a lot of experimenting and trial and error for me. I often get stuck to a point where I'm not sure what to do next. Hopefully I'll eventually come up with some music worth listening to.
I am doing all of this solo for a number of reasons. I'm realizing though, that I'm trying to do the work of a dozen people, and perhaps not excelling at any one area. I'm attempting to be a songwriter, musician (singer, guitarist, bassist, drum programmer, synth programmer, etc.), arranger, producer, recording engineer, guitar tech., drum tech, and later on agent, manager, promoter, webmaster, etc. Eventually I hope to get other people to fill many of these roles, but I have to get something started on my own first.
