    How Creative Setbacks Shape a Musician’s Emotional Growth

    Little steps backwards are sometimes a great way to get a big jump forward. I’ve experienced a good deal creative setbacks; not only with music and technology but also with food. Yesterday started with the bigger steps forward and it makes me giddy when that happens. Plus there’s another new release, Barricades of Hate, coming this Friday.

    As mentioned last week, I started shifting some technical things away from 3rd parties in regards to emails. It has more to do with removing the middle-men between you and I. The less outside prying eyes about your information you allow me to have, the better.

    Last night, that connection became 1 degree. Meaning, your info when it comes to my contact list for my web store or my email list for updates no longer has a 3rd degree of distance. If you’re already on my email list, you’ll only notice that it no longer has a 3rd party name on it.

    For anyone who is new to my musical world, you’ll be getting the best of the upcoming world when you join my musical army.

    It took a lot of little steps backwards and forwards getting it to actually work. Then last night, BAM! I finally got it doing what it should to send the emails. It’s exciting. And what I’m putting on the roadmap is even more exciting.

    Musically, I had some little steps go wrong with getting some of my updates to work right in the web store, not any more. Those updates are up and available as well. Whew.

    On the side I’ve learned to make bread, the kind you eat. What is crazy is that I grind my own wheat berries for the flour to make said bread. Generally it goes quite well. Unfortunately the last loaf did not rise correctly on Sunday. But Monday, I made a different loaf that worked splendidly. Odd how fresh flour can be so finicky.

    Which now brings me to this week’s upcoming release, Barricades of Hate. New artwork, new mix, and an animated cover. More nice steps forward and it makes me giddy. The timeliness of this song’s message can’t be better. Especially with the current state of affairs.

    I have hope that we’ll stop having the your side, my side spats and get back to the truth!

    More coming…
