Confessions of a Muso: Life, love and everything else

So I have that thing, that thing which is completely clichéd, but it’s a cliché for a reason. Writers block. You just have to announce to yourself that you want to create a new album, and the songs evaporate into thin air. Now, I don’t want to further the cliché… but you know that image of a writer, ripping his or her hair out, bin over flowing with scrumpled up pieces of paper, well that’s been me, for the last week….So, I did what I do when I need inspiration. And that is, look in my old writing books. It’s like taking a little trip back in time, to what I was thinking, feeling and writing about. Anyway- in an attempt to be inspired I found a little list of goals I wrote from quite a long time ago – Entitled ‘2006 (Mid year -I forgot to do this in January- Goals)” and I think they’re still relevant in 2012…

So they are as follows:

1. Have a goal (good one Louise… )

2. Be kind- always

3. Do something every day that scares you

4. Always be planning a holiday

5. Be careful who you give your heart to- love and people can be unreliable, especially when combined

6. Do things, just beacuse you can

7. Take every opportunity

8. Look before you leap, but don’t lose your spontaneity

9. Make decisions in under a minute

10. Forgive and forget

11. Don't sweat the small stuff, remember the big picture

12. Grow a thicker skin

13. Laugh

That, combined with a whole lot of happy memories of hours of song writing, has finally inspired a little tune. Let's see where it goes.

Peace, Lou x
