I suspect that progress is going to be much slower over the next couple of weeks. I’m going to be working in the office a lot and these days my most musical times of day have been directly before and after work. Those times will be spent driving for the next little while.
On day 46 I managed to get to the office early enough so that I could spend a few minutes noodling bass riffs in GarageBand on my iPhone while sitting in the car in the parking lot. I came up with one song’s worth of stuff. Let’s call it song number 43.
After work I managed to mix one song, bringing my total number of complete songs up to 35. The most interesting, and unusual, thing about this newly completed song is that I don’t hate it. I think I almost actually like it. That feels so weird.
So I am working in the office the rest of this week and most of next week, and this coming weekend has a bunch of things on the agenda already as well. I don’t see a lot of time being available for the 50 songs in 90 days challenge, but I’ll do my best to sneak in progress where I can.

I really enjoyed reading this update because it captures something that is often missing from creative challenges: the reality of making art while life keeps happening around us.
What stands out most is that the goal isn’t abandoned simply because circumstances change. Even with office work taking up the most productive musical hours, you still found a little pocket of creativity—sitting in the car before work, opening GarageBand on your iPhone, and noodling with bass riffs. And from those few minutes came another song’s worth of material—Song #43! That is a wonderful reminder that creativity doesn’t always need a perfect studio, uninterrupted time, or ideal conditions.
