I woke up this morning feeling like being a recluse for a day, and left the TV completely off for hours and didn't tune in to Eurofilk. The quiet was very restful, and I feel much more in a suitable shape to participate in Filk Ontari-No.
I did FAWM again this year, and feel it was very successful for me. I managed even more songs than last year's total, but more importantly, I think the average quality of the songs was better. I feel so lucky that (after Capricon) I was able to put almost everything else aside and focus on writing songs. It was also a lot of fun.
I did post a few of the songs over on my patreon (https://www.patreon.com/Wyld_Dandelyon) during February; I've been setting the rest (or most of the rest) to post there over time. I may post some of them here too, or maybe just redirect people over there. My plan is that lyrics and chords will be posted to that site in public posts, and as I figure out more of this self-publishing stuff, I'll put early copies of stuff I'm planning to put up on bandcamp in subscriber-only posts.
Right now, I'm putting links to the FAWM demos into the posts, with the warning that the demos won't be there forever (In the case of FAWM demos hosted on the FAWM site, the expected day they'll become unavailable is April 1.) Yeah, I ran out of free space on Soundcloud, and decided to support FAWM instead of Soundcloud this year.
Then I got sick, something with post-nasal drip and a tiny bit of low coughing and a couple episodes of dizziness, but mostly just so tired. There was one weekend daytime zoom filk where I got up after what's normally a full night's sleep and could barely keep my eyes open, and had to get up and move around to even be awake enough to play a song when it was my turn. The test said not covid, thankfully. But I went back to bed right after the filk and spent nearly all of the next two days sleeping, which slowly got better over the course of a week.
So now I'm behind on stuff like doing taxes and housework, but not critically so. Soon, I have to start seedlings too. And before that, buy some potting soil and seed starter mix. But life goes on, and that's a good thing.
Oh, and I found a guitar pick that will stay in my hand for a whole song! And it's comfortable for me to hold too. It's so cool when you find the right gear!
