go me!
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009I made a major accomplishment today. It won’t seem so to anyone else, but that’s ok.
I finished a mix CD that I’d set out trying to make about six weeks ago, maybe a bit more. There’s a post or two about it, but it really covers such a small fraction of the many dozens of hours of work I put in to it.
It’s been a very long time since I’ve rolled up my sleeves and undertaken something as a beginner with a serious eye towards doing a good job. Sounds odd perhaps, but I was motivated beyond fear of failure to faith in my success.
I’m doing the final listen-through now, then I’m going to go deliver it.
Then tomorrow I’m deleting all the working files.
After all, a hand made gift ought to be unique, no?
UPDATE: And they’re gone. That felt weird. But it was without a doubt the right thing to do and felt good once it was done. I did give it a couple full listen throughs today.
Time to figure out what the next one is going to be and to start working on that.
