Lytspeed's Creativity Journal

Today, I got another assignment from that editor, and Lannette and I will be co-writing an article for a November issue. Looks like the writing gig is starting to show a little action, at least in terms of non-fiction sales.

I've also submitted an essay to NPR's This I Believe series. If my essay is chosen, I will be asked to record a reading of it for the series. Oh, and I'll get a couple hundred bucks. This writing stuff is taking off at just the right time; I can really use the extra money right now.

Friday, I debuted my latest song, "New Guy Smell" with Steel River Three. I have a recording of "New Guy Smell," but I'm not happy with the vocals. I need to re-record it. When I do, I'll post an MP3 on this site.

Logan leaves tomorrow for a month-long stay with his grandparents in Washington state. We won't see him until just before the wedding. I'm going to miss the kiddo.

In general, there are a lot of things going on in my life right now. At some point, I need to get a storage shed built. There are always bills to catch up on. I have some website updates to perform, both personal and for other people. And oh yeah, there's this wedding coming up, too.

Sometimes it seems life is a series of "must-dos," and that there's not much room for creativity. I'm glad I'm able to keep the creativity going for right now.
