Day One

Today is the first day, so here's a bit of an action plan. It's an action plan ... of ACTION.

Going on a capacity of 80 minutes for a CD, giving 3 1/2 minutes for a track, that's 23 tracks. Obviously, I'm not going to use every track I write, or every minute on the CD. I think 24 tracks is a good number to write, if I'm going to finish up with about twelve. In four months, that's six songs a month, and a month left over at the end to tie everything up (and pass my exams).

So from here on, it's a song about every five days. For four months.

This suddenly seems a bit more difficult than I had imagined. But not impossible. However, I'll need some kind of guitar. Luckily, I've just replaced the strings and bought a nice big 100W Fender amp. Unluckily, the amp is large and heavy and still at the shop, and the guitar is still in London. Oh, and my DS-10 shipped, but it hasn't arrived yet. Still, excitement.

Oh well, I'll just keep on thinking. And watching Futurama.
