Getting Into A Groove

Time is weird. On an almost daily basis I think about how much I want to write and post something here, but then something happens and I just don’t get to it. It seems that since finishing school, I’ll stop mentioning that when it feels relevant, that my free time has been filled up with other things. I don’t think this is bad as I like to keep occupied, but that does mean that some things just don’t happen as quickly or on the unrealistic timeframe that I think it should.

Regardless I’m here now writing and posting and that is ultimately what matters.

These past few months has been great and full of some cool stuff. Here are some thoughts and things I’ve been up to.

  • I recently co-authored an essay about recorded music called Who Cares How You Listen? – Thoughts on Our Relationship with Recordings

  • My solo podcast is still going strong! I’m trying to move the schedule to weekly instead of fortnightly. I’ve only missed once so far, but am still giving myself some flexibly as I continue to figure out my schedule. I’ll announce when it’s officially weekly soon.

  • I played at the South by Southwest Music Festival in March!! (SXSW) This was such a cool experience. I filmed some of it for a vlog that I’m going to publish soon.

Speaking of vlogging, I miss it. It was so much fun to vlog, but I realized that instead of attempting to publish on a schedule I will just publish a video when I have something to share.

  • I started a business. The business is on schedule and will be announced officially in the next month, but just think glitch.

  • I’ve been reading! My Storygraph account is mostly up to date with what I’ve been reading lately.

Speaking of reading, I’m considering writing some book reviews either here and/or on Storygraph. These reviews will mostly be for me as a way to remember the book and to consider my reactions to it based on my life and how it all fits within that context. I don’t want to write reviews for the sake of writing reviews, though it would be nice to get some advanced reader copies which you receive by leaving reviews. Clearly this idea still isn’t fully formed, but I’m moving closer to something.

Ultimately, I’m just trying to find a groove and pace of life that works for me. I’m not quite there yet, but it feels good to have some sense of clarity and to be working on things that I enjoy.
