Sound of the Week! #1 Thoughts

Hi. So, I just wrote the first 'Sound of the Week!' post. Well, first to be published. I've written around five drafts now. None of them feel right. So I just wrote the first thing that came to mind, and that was The The's song 'Slow Emotion Replay.' It's a very short post, very casual. I don't know if it's any good - or valuable in any way whatsoever. But if I publish it on publication Saturday (15th), it should give me some momentum. The way I see it is as a juggling act. I can gradually start juggling more & more - adding more to the schedule until it's a full-blown show.

I started with weekly website updates (Saturday). Now it's time to add 'Sound of the Week!' posts. I've been wanting to write about music in some way since 2022, so this is long overdue. No more waiting. I think earlier entries were trying to keep up some persona of a 'show-like' thing. But it's much easier and more geniune if we just stay honest. At the same time, I don't want to be completely lazy about it. So once again, as with everything, it's a balancing act. A juggling act.

Something I need to say - while I'm here - is this: I write creative pieces and I write journal entries. I write articles. I write articles about my open-source coding projects. I am a writer and a coder. I am passionate about music. At the start of this year, I published many old coding projects into the public domain via GitHub and published my brief poems and other creative writing onto my GitHub Pages website.

Just felt like I needed to clarify what I'm doing here. I am documenting parts of my life on the internet through my work. I am taking extracts from my personal journal entries to use as 'content' for my website. I am learning to be as transparent as possible through my writing. That's my purpose right now.

I'm just stating my goals.

I've recognized that the longer I try to perfect something without sharing it, the worse it gets.

And yet, in the back of my mind: Why am I doing any of this? It's obvious that the quaity is not there.

But the passion absolutely is, which outweighs everything.

That constant doubt of everything slows it all down. It's simply a case of just continuing to do it, regardless of what that side of me and anybody else thinks. Don't forget that. Ultimately, I'm just glad that whatever has shifted since the end of last year has allowed you to start sharing things again, and creating things. Because that's the most important thing to you. You just need to share things. I've probably said all this a million times before. Anyway, goodnight.
