PITW #30 Everything takes longer than you think — plan for it. (Status Update 1.31.13)
Folks, we have less than an hour until FAWM begins for those in the Eastern Standard Timezone, and I am not ready! This week, I was supposed to get in touch with everyone who said, "Yes," to helping with this. I am sorry that I did not. I hope that people don't feel insulted or that I blew them off. This week, I have been working very hard to finish a video essay in a series that I've been doing for nine months. I am uploading it to YouTube now, forty-five minutes before FAWM begins. Just like the PITW says, everything takes longer than you think it will. I told you they come in handy. At midnight, I will be participating in a FAWM Skirmish, in which somebody will present a song title and many FAWM participants will write and record a song with that title. The challenge? Do it all in an hour. I didn't do any skirmishes last year, and I think there's no better way to jump into this year than by participating in one. Again, everything will take longer to complete than I think it will or want it to. But a deadline's a deadline, and sometimes you have to accept it. Stay tuned to this Tumblr for updates tomorrow on how you can hear demos and read lyrics during the process. I am super pumped! -Paul New to this Tumblr? Learn about what I'm doing here.
