Sometimes we go backwards to go forwards. For a long time I’ve written songs. Not daily, but regularly. Writing a song is a place of joy for me. 

But recently I decided to take a year off from even attempting to write one. 

The reason being that I want to focus on improving my guitar playing and general musicality. I taught myself to play, and my playing and my knowledge is full of holes and a heap of bad technique. 

Fixing this is going to take work, and time. So I’m going to take a break from doing the thing I most love to do. 

 
PS - For those who get my monthly Fee Comes Fourth recordings, don’t worry. There’s a large backlog of songs still to be recorded for that!
