Words
I have been having a vast musical problem. The problem is that about a year or so ago I started work on an album, my third. During it’s creation and wringing, there was a period where I wrote a selection of tracks for it which weren’t too brilliant, I then managed to make a selection I was much happier with and now can’t really come up with anything else new. This “third LP” soon became my fourth when I took some time to write one condensed record in a week by itself and is now just something I scroll past and regret having not released yet, despite how only half of it is any good.
At this point, it becomes my third unfinished, unpublished mess, I promptly started a fourth and haven’t completed that either. And the whole thing really isn’t doing my mental health any good at all. I also don’t feel like I can start new projects because they just end up unfinished and it somehow feels disingenuous. Like I can’t just throw something in the bin and start over once I’ve made the album cover, shared the songs as they’ve been made. Like then going “Actually lads, I threw the masters into a volcano, guess it’s never coming out, sorry” feels just kinda rude. There’s also something really degrading about starting tones of stuff and never finishing any of them and making a crap album AND not making any music because you’re stuck with one thing you haven’t finished yet.
I dunno really… I’m not sure it’s something there’s a real solution to. Sorry about that. But anyway, at least it’s America day right? I dunno, I’m British, so who knows.

I managed to get furmeet crud after going to LondonFurs. Was fun.
Got to jam with 
Regdeh since he brought his guitar and I brought my keyboard.
We tried to get 
seadragom to sing.
He wouldn’t sing.
But I can’t blame him, I’m not a very good keyboard player.

Don't look at them as unfinished. Think of them as in-progress. I have tons of projects that I have yet to finish. Every now and then I go back and look at one and if the inspiration is there I add a little more to it. Just don't give up on them.
