Addressing my relative hiatus

As it turns out, early October marked five years since I began this blog…! I wanted to post ~something~ to mark this occasion but I got way too caught up in other stuff.

I’m going to get honest with you all now; 2021 feels like another of my most difficult years. That’s the main reason, besides Seahorses’ bizarrely extended cycle, that I posted so much less for these past 11 months.

Beyond that, my difficulty with focusing on new compositions continues from where it began in 2019, as much as I sorely miss letting out my inspiration. As usual, I’ve struggled with finishing my handful of exciting pre-existing drafts too, whether it’s adding to them or the complicated post-production. As I mentioned last post, my confidence as a writer took a hit and therefore this has impacted certain plans.

Don’t get me wrong, I still have some plans for this blog, I just feel reluctant to promise a whole lot at this point. Plus, if/once I do get more creatively active, I would want more to focus on my own music.

Mixes remain my most dependable pet-project. I have several ideas for these leftover from my more active days, and I’d still love to get cracking on them, I guess I’m just not as energetic with them as before.

I hope that this blog brought you some interesting discoveries or listening pleasure over these years, for it’s many flaws. I’ll call this time a hiatus, but posts will happen when they happen.
