Two days without an RPM Challenge update. Let’s get caught up. It’s getting to the point where keeping track of everything is difficult.
From the lame tumblr page for day six:
Day six was a little better than days four and five. I added song forms to song numbers seven and eight, started a new song (number nine) that now has a full song form and the bass and drums (both MIDI) complete. I also (finally) wrote some lyrics to one song. Song number one is now officially ready for vocals. I wanted to write lyrics for a second song too but I was toast by the time I finished one song, never mind two.
Here’s hoping I get a ton of rhythm guitars down tomorrow. Also maybe some more lyrics so that I can sing in the car before work on Thursday.

Hooray for lyrics, I guess. I am terrible at that sort of thing, but I still do it. One down.
Now for my tumblr update for day seven, yesterday, which I posted there about 10 minutes ago:
Day seven was productive, even if it wasn’t as productive as I would have liked.
I put rhythm guitars onto three songs. That’s it, I think. It’s getting hard to keep it all straight.
I have nine songs in the pipeline. At the close of day yesterday three of them needed rhythm guitars, and all but one are in need of a main melody and some lyrics.
One week down.

Yesterday was a busy day outside of pointless music projects so I was happy to get that much work in, even if I didn’t get nearly as much as I was hoping for. It’s something. All progress is good progress.
The additional good news, which will be included in the next tumblr update, is that I was able to put rhythm guitars onto three songs this morning. That means all nine songs in the pipeline have a full rhythm section in place now. Nice. I am still one song shy of the RPM Challenge goal, but it’s only day eight. Plenty of time for more songs. I just need to get my act together as far as melodies and lyrics go.
