I’ve been focused on my Weekly Songcast project lately and it’s been going great.
The WSC is doing more for me than I initially thought it would. I have very quickly found myself able to pen lyrics for entire songs, which is something I found almost impossible to do before. The word impossible has been banished from my everyday vocabulary for a while now and it seems that it is having a positive effect on things.
Now it’s not for me to say that just because I now seem able to actually write lyrics that they are very good. I’ll leave that up to you to decide for yourself, but I am happy with the fact that now I relish the chance to sit down and write, because something invariably gets created, so regardless of the content, it is a huge improvement on never even getting started putting pen to paper because of some auto-assumed belief that "I couldn’t write lyrics".
You could say that it is presently my most important project because writing, recording and publishing a new song every week takes quite a large amount of my time and energy. I will be promoting it as much as I can here for a while and I’m sure I can count on you to pay the WSC a visit and contribute with honest comments. I would really appreciate it.
The songs should be on iTunes also, so you can subscribe to the podcast and have each song download automatically as they are published.
So in a long-winded way this post is to announce that the Weekly Songcast has been updated with song number 4, earlier than scheduled. The song is called "I Want to be Right".
Please check it out. I suppose this post counts as a weekly landmark and the point of it, in keeping with the ethos of this site is to stay committed to your dreams. There is an unquantifiable force that gets involved when you commit to something fully. It seems to take over and it really is amazing how quickly you can start to see the emergence of success and achievement.
I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it: There is nothing better in this world than choosing to do what you love. The choice is always yours to take, no matter what.

Getting it going without getting it right is so true. I turned my whole life around in the last 2 years when I decided that I had had enough of looking up to someone else to get things right for me and decided to take my life in my own hands and make the things I wanted to happen, happen for me. So folks, get up, get out there and make life happen for you, the way you want it to.
Great point Paulette.
Most of us do seem to think that all our problems will disappear when somebody else gives us that big break or those “magic beans”.
Unfortunately that is just a recipe for disaster. Nothing will change without you taking the reigns and the responsibility for your own life. It is not somebody else’s job and it is not their fault if things don’t turn out the way you wanted them to.
Thanks for the great comment.
Think you can write an album in one month?

Thanks for the link Colin. I suppose it’s cheating to include the 5 songs I wrote before 1st February, so it looks like quite a challenge to write another 13.5 songs in 29 days…. well 25 days now and that’s before you take out the days I’m on the nightshift.
I’ll have to start taking my guitar into work at night!
