I got a lot of work on the project done yesterday, day eight, and I’ve done a ton more work today, day nine, and now I can’t remember which day everything actually happened. How do I recap day eight without slipping in stuff from day nine? Why does it matter to me?
I think I started the day by writing lyrics for one of the songs. That brought me up to three songs that were ready to record vocals so I took my laptop and a mic and a little USB audio interface and drove to an empty parking lot and recorded vocals. When I finished the third song I brought up a fourth song and wrote the melody and lyrics on mic and cranked out a bonus vocal.
Later that day, in the afternoon, I recorded the lead guitar parts for all four of those songs. Did I do anything else? I think I might have put rhythm guitars on one song too. I was hoping to set myself up for more vocals in the car the next day (today, actually). I really didn’t get enough done for that. I wanted lyrics written for 2-3 songs and when the day ended I hadn’t written anything.
I think that’s it for day eight. When I write up the events of day nine it’s going to have a lot of info. After the last two days I am sort of feeling that if I don’t get anything done on day 10 (tomorrow) I won’t be too upset with myself.
