In 2013 I made myself a promise: write, record and release a new song every week for a year. The first one was called “Ready or Not.” That about summed it up.
Music had been my dream since I was a kid. But I’d spent years away from it, painting houses, editing films, raising a family, and I could feel it slipping away. Maybe dying. It felt like time was running out, and I needed to do something a little desperate.
Somewhere around week 35 I was completely worn out, with more than a dozen songs still to go. I kept going.
I’ve been writing ever since.
