Well, it
has been a ridiculously long and exhausting day – but also rewarding and
encouraging. Today began #7in7, a week-long songwriters challenge of sorts. I
will be joining 300+ other songwriters around the globe and committing to write
one song every day for 7 days. I write music all the time, but I’ve never
forced myself to stick to a deadline…so this is definitely going to stretch me
musically, emotionally, spiritually. I couldn’t be more excited. I literally
walked in the door today after my 10-hour workday, changed clothes, heated up
some tomato soup in the microwave, and got busy writing. That was about four
and a half hours ago, and I’m just now winding down. I am beat. Can barely keep my eyes open. But I’m done!
One of
the conditions of this little challenge is that everyone participating must post
each song online, each day. That is probably the hardest part of this whole
thing for me. I am such a perfectionist and I hate to put my name on something
that isn’t as close to perfect as possible. But in this case, I have no choice.
That’s probably good for me too.
So
friends…I introduce you to my very first #7in7 song. Please forgive any
mistakes here and there (Sincerely, Perfectionista).
