Thought Of The Month
I this really should be shared because it is so true. I know that many of us have different availability in our schedules to write. Some do it full time and some in between loads of laundry. This benefits everyone , but specifically the time challenged:
Just show up.
Each day, to that empty piece of paper or that computer screen. Don't let time constraints keep you from showing up at all. God will honor what little you have and multiply it. Jeff Ferguson said to do one thing very day toward your music. Set up a co write, read a blog, journal, go to a book store and search for good titles, write a blog( my task for the day), work on a chorus for 20 min, pray, read your bible.... I remember my violin teacher tell me ," a little every day is better than allot one day. I bicked against it then and I stil do now...This is a principle I'm trying to switch gears to with songwriting, I don't like it!!. But guess what, It's working and I've made some really important goals this year. But it was just because I've tried to show up a little every day. I don't have it down yet, some days I think why bother today I don't have enough time to do what I really want to. But I want to get better at using the time I have to be more productive. This little principle is helping allot!
Favorite Quotes on this matter:
"Revelation is a fleeting wisp of wind. Record what God gives you."
-Dean Demos
"Show up at the page"-Julia Cameron (The Artists Way)
