Alright, back from touring, and I'm full of newly found inspiration. Time to get to work!

I've started contacting musicians, and up to now, the lineup I've currently got will rip every other song of mine to pieces. Things are looking good!

Btw, I've updated and will be keeping the list up to date with submitted songs. You can always PM me if I somehow missed your song.

his last forum post was yesterday though :v

Wut? I scanned the whole thread for posts from him, blame me for getting new contacts.
Nevertheless, his post is giving me the creeps. "Patience." Hhrrrrrr...

Psh. Wishing luck to yourself is always a good idea. Speaking of which, goodluck to @SkyeWintrest since his opponent is really good!

I seriously don't think my opponent RetromanOMG is going to submit anything... he has seemed to have gone totaly off the grid, needless to say I'm kind of disapointed...

You'd be surprised the amount of submissions suddenly pop on here in the last six hours of each round. :v

For example, I have a class to teach tomorrow evening and I just got off the phone promising my wife that I would spend tomorrow morning/afternoon with her, and this evening I have to go play percussion for some friends. So I won't be touching my piece again until Friday. :/

Wife > NG

You know, this explains why Kor-Rune beat Waterflame last year.

We'll see about that. Does anyone know if Veneox is single?

Creating music makes me manically depressed. At times I'm like "This is awesome. I'm going to win/get front paged/become famous (or whatever) for sure." but after a few hours of work it changes to "I can never make this sound right. Nobody will like this. Turn this noise down.". In the end you just work your routine, make the song the way you learned to make it, upload it, be happy with the nice comments you get, and don't care if not everyone likes this.

It's reversed for me, I become more and more insane and depressed the longer I stay out of the studio. I'm like the happiest fucker whenever I get shit done.

Same here. Nothing is ever perfect. But there are moments that I think I get a sound just right, and for those moments I'm really happy with it and think the songs will turn out great. Those moments don't last long though. Doubts always return. I no longer try to improve songs as much as I used to. A few years ago I could easily spend months on a single song. It had to be perfect. Right structure, catchy melody, original chord progression, meaningful lyrics, optimal mixing. But when I listen back to those songs they're not perfect at all. I used to add new stuff to and make new mixes of years old songs all the time, only to let them grow obsolete within a few months. Now I finish songs much faster. Sometimes I finish a song in a matter of hours (though that's still rare). I move on to new things quicker, and revisit old songs much more seldom. These time restrictions in competitions are good practice.

Anyway, here's a quick list of how things are going: I think ive done it right..
*Shrugs

Still over 2/3rd of the songs to look forward to. I think one or two people on the list gave up. I don't know what the list should look like now, but I wanted to see a list like that thanks. Looking forward to the complete one once the deadline is reached.
