I'm not entirely overjoyed at how things turned out with my project. I got really hung up on the fifth song, and I think it sort of made me question whether or not I really had gotten over my writer's block. Also, I might have felt a little better about it had I recorded it before the month ended (I couldn't really do this because my computer was in the shop).
That said, I do basically have it composed. And I don't love it, but I like it for the most part, and it does add up to five songs I wrote in a month, and that's not so bad. That's something I'm reasonably proud of. Granted, I mostly just like my third and fourth songs - I have a lot of mixed feelings about the first two - but this taught me a lot of things. It showed me a writing process; it reminded me how I'd go about working on a big project again; it got me past the insurmountable block that was starting a new project after TIAMAZ. I think that was probably the biggest thing it did - it got me past this enormous mental block that was coming back from TIAMAZ. I think I've already said this - TIAMAZ was a two-year ladder, and finishing it sent me all the way back to the bottom. And two years is a long time (when you're 19), so it was a VERY big ladder. And this did not get me nearly as high, but it reminded me that I could start climbing again. Maybe that's a cheesy analogy, but it was important.
