My gun is loaded. Just looking for a target :)
Sorry man, had some life stuff come up this weekend. Regardless, submissions can still be put in the previous week’s threads and still be counted!

Life happens, man!
In between life happening and then getting caught up in the “Wait, I really want to see this song through to the end instead of rushing it out in one week’s time” I can’t predict how much I’ll be able to contribute. The challenge songs are great for staying sharp with writing but don’t fair so well for really developing ideas. It’s hard for me to stay consistent within that framework.

Yeah, between brushing up on limited skills and experience with a DAW, and all of life's obligations
(some of which we don't see coming!
), and then wanting to see some actual progress in developing
an idea that 1 week window is supertight for me, too.
Glad to be on Spring Break with my son this week. Big sigh of relief. We just finished Travel Football that
started in December. Fuck me every weekend since then! It's been a nearly 400 mile round trip drive just
to get to the facility where all the eager parents are letting their kids play out their over-exaggerated
sporting dreams on the weekends.
Cincinnati last weekend, which was cool, and cold as fuck.
I asked him what he wanted to do this week on Break, and he said, "Sleep!"
Fine by me! I am taking the week off, too.

Haha! Never thought of it like that, Drew. Nice twist!
Man, you'd be a great Dad.
(said that knowing how you feel about populating the Planet with more humans)
Hahahah I've heard that for years and my reply is always "The things that would make me a great dad are the exact things that prevent me from becoming one"

Damn that sucks!!!!
I got really into lucid dreaming a while back in an effort to ‘write’ music in my dreams, I know I got one piece of music out of it at one point but don’t think I ever developed it. I’d love to get back into that frame of mind, there’s a lot of things that can be accomplished in lucid dreaming that takes forever to pull off with conscious thoughts as a result of inserting ideas into you subconscious and bypassing the conscious brain…..as long as you can prevent yourself from making your dreams into porn flicks.

Kind of a win for me getting back to this, I've come up with and recorded ideas for songs/riffs three days in a row which is probably the first time I've done that in about 25 years. I'm trying to get in the habit of recording every little idea I have on my phone voice memos.

My phone is so full of riffs and ideas I can lend it to Kirk Hammett to make up for his lost riffs and still have plenty leftover.

I currently have :checks phone: 371 such recordings in my Voice Memos, the first of which is dated August 2018. To date, I've used 5-10 in songs... not cause I don't like them, but because I forget they're on my phone when I'm in front of my DAW.

I get it!
Or I’d just get a new idea that didn’t require me digging for something. I’ve probably deleted whole albums worth of stuff in the last 15 years of having an iphone, now I at least send the vids to my computer so I can look back later when I want to work on something but aren’t sure what I wanna do.
