I'm really pleased with my NaSoAlMo progress so far. I think I've discovered a faster, more efficient way to churn out songs! I used to try to come up with the idea, flesh it out, write it, edit it, and THEN come up with the title. Could take months. But for this I actually wrote the titles first based on a theme: the year I turned 30. I didn't have anything very specific attached to each title--just a vague idea, but it seems like the ideas have just flown from the titles themselves! I think I'm going to try this for future writing projects.

I'm now up to six songs that are pretty close to done with the lyrics and melody, so I'm going to do some rough recording to figure out the chords and make sure I don't forget the tunes!
