What do you do when you can’t write songs???

  • Unpack
  • Leave the home-life chaos and go to work
  • Try not to think about unpacking and rearranging furniture while at work
  • Wake up in the middle of the night thinking about work
  • Get up and unpack so you can stop thinking about work
  • Think of all the people  you want to call and catch up with
  • Try to find times when you can hang out with old friends
  • Try to find times when you can hang out with new friends
  • Think of all the songs you’re supposed to have written by early March
  • Unpack some more
  • Buy cute patio furnishings for the back patio
  • Try to find times when you can sit on the back patio
  • Clean the house that you still haven’t fully moved into
  • Plant plants and hope they don’t die
