Fiverr Planning
I toyed with the idea of Fiverr a long time ago, when I was working in web development but could never come up with any gigs that I thought would be sufficiently differentiated from others and worth pursuing. I have been having another look at this platform and have been thinking more about it and…

Clearing the Cobwebs
The last day or so I have been taking a break and clearing the cobwebs, both literally and metaphorically. As such I have made little progress with any composition efforts or coursework.

My Musical Journey – A False Start
In the last post we saw my over ambitious plans to embark on this journey. You already know that I don’t feel that this was the best approach, so what happened? I believe that the impression of structure masked the truth, the complete lack of structure. There was certainly a lot of variety, and on…

My Musical Journey – Loose Plans
In our previous post we defined some rather tenuous, fuzzy goals. That is a technical term, I believe. Now, at this stage I believe I made a mistake, which we will look at in later posts. We have a couple of choices of plan here, I think. We can either take the slow and steady…
