What comes next?

This week I've been dusting off some songs for Invertebrate Waltz and thinking a little more seriously about that project as a whole. I've also been making some sketches for another collection of songs I wrote a few months ago that feel like could be a larger project someday, too. I was having a conversation about some of my future projects/albums this with a friend recently, and they reminded me how lucky I am to be in a situation where I feel like I have *too much* work, rather than too little. I'm grateful that I haven't really ever struggled with Writers Block or anything- but maybe that's just because I'm not actually being forced to make work? I find it a lot easier to sift through your ideas and figure out whats good while nobody is actually asking you to deliver anything. At this point, I feel confident enough in the concepts behind the projects I have in the works that I wouldn't have trouble developing them much faster if my situation changed and I had to suddenly get them done on a timeline. To be honest, I should probably be getting my head back into The Queen of Time. That project is quickly approaching release (after a *very* long time in development...) and if people actually enjoy it- they might expect me to be able to talk about it and play the songs on it! 😅 One of my goals for that project is to play the album live... somewhere... at least once, lol. In all honesty, *that* is probably what comes next for me.

Speaking of which, I updated the pre-release of the album on this website to include the preliminary master of the new mix for All Along the Western Side- so check it out! 😁 (We're still on track to release in August! <3 )
