Day ?? - An Interesting Argument

One could say, at some point over the past few weeks, I stopped doing my allotted ten minutes per day.  That would be a valid argument.  Illness happened, hospital happened, and the challenge lost its importance to me.

But finding the exact day when that happened is a lot harder, and depends completely on your opinion as to what constitutes A&S work.  I've joked before about the gears in my brain continuously cranking out music, which is true.  I remix and compose works on the fly, the same way normal people tap their fingers.  99% of it gets confined to the Recycle Bin of my Brain, but occasionally the other end of it will push out a theme, or a filk, or a story, or an idea, or even a full song.  Closer analysis will reveal it's usually made up of bits and pieces from the aforementioned Bin.

Should I argue that I haven't been working during that time?  I have been.  Music's been happening, and more filks are being processed and more musical concepts are clicking in my head.  But, for the past few weeks, I have had no goal and nothing to show for it, and nothing to report about.  More than one day has gone by when I haven't had ten minutes of deliberate music work, though I've had a few hours of background music work.

So I'm stopping the challenge here, not because I haven't been doing A&S work, but because it's too hard to define.  Music is too vague, and permeates my brain to the point where I'm not even aware that I'm doing it half the time.

So let's keep this blog going, as a storing point for music ideas and songs as they happen.  Celtic stuff, too, if I keep looking into it.  Tonight I'll hop back onto MuseScore, see if I can suss out how to save songs into graphic form, and keep doing some long-overdue updates to the eBook of Boom.

My challenge is over, but my music isn't.

One, two, three, four...
