What Weekend?

with 2 comments

Sometimes I have difficulty keeping up with the pace of the world swirling around me. Unfortunately, I am one of my own worst enemies. I procrastinate. When a few factors, like weather and working all day on Saturday, pop up in unexpected ways, all the wonderful consequences of my procrastination are revealed. There aren’t enough hours in the rest of the one day of my weekend to accomplish what I’ve left undone.

Yesterday I began assembling a photo slide show to accompany the song I recorded. I’ve got 2 more nights to finish it. Squeaked in a couple of home chores and that’s the extent of my weekend. Much to my dismay, I spent over 9 hours at work on Saturday. Monday comes way too quick when I do that.

My creative conscience won’t let me give up however, and I will keep tweaking my project till it suits my imagination or I absolutely run out of time. I suppose I could show a preliminary version on Wednesday if I decide I’m not happy enough with what I have by then. Are you getting curious to see what I’m up to?

  1. Didn’t it take 9 years between the writing of a poem that was put to music???? I would believe that whatever state it is presented in, it will be awesome! And then get even better…..MM

    • Oh, yeah… was that procrastinating? The beginning production of the video is starting out well, but that put pressure on me to try and maintain that momentum, but it is a loooong song. The end of the video may be less ‘choreographed’.
