600 days that I've had a meditation session—and that's just the ones that used this timer app. I'm really surprised how much I've practiced. It doesn't feel like a lot.
Even a very small habit can compound over time. If there's something you've wanted to do, the only thing you need to do is start.

Throwback to my Bach pumpkin (2022)
I get stuck a lot when I compose. When there's no obvious continuation, I need to make sense of the music I've written in order to see the way forward. Find the hidden clue.
Today I decided to annotate things. Not what I want the music to do, just what the idea feels like at that moment. It helped.

In a group call, a fellow composer - much more successful than me - said: 'wow, it's so cool that you write music on paper! I wish I had that skill.'
I was taken aback. I never considered there are full-fledged professionals who don't use notation.
What skills of your art do you take for granted?

Moving from notebook drafts to notation software with this romantic film theme! I did the heavy lifting on paper, but in Dorico I'll be fleshing out the arrangement, and eventually orchestrating. I really like this melody—excited for you to hear the final production! #composer #filmcomposer

Action music is SO BUSY. I'm taking a course right now on how to think about action cues, which helps me put some of the pieces together—but it's still slow going reading a score like this. (How to Train Your Dragon, 3M16 'Teamwork.')

Lunchtime sketching. The B material of this piece needs more rhythmic contrast with the A theme, so I’m rewriting it a bunch to find out what works.

Still workshopping the end of this theme. What’s the right emotion? What’s the right punctuation?

I’ve been struggling to release music for a long time, and I decided I had to go back to where I began: just playing a mood at the piano. This one’s somber, for staring out windows and wondering what might have been.
