A pleasant phenomenon

[figmo]

This past weekend something wonderful happened. Actually, it's been slowly happening, but this past weekend was when I noticed it.

For the first time in ages, I'm enjoying making music. It clunked me on the head when I did my "twofer" at Consonance. It's not just the (overall favorable) responses to my stuff that have been boosting me; I've been having fun. You hear that? Fun! I've even been taking my laptop unit to work so I can edit MIDI files while I'm installing programs.

To all of you who have helped me get that joy back, I thank you.

Fun. I remember having fun making music. Stopped a long while ago. Now I have fun making music in the car, singing along with The Mamas and The Papas and Alanis Morrisette. Glad you got your mojo back, though.

It took years for the fun to come back. I was looking for something and found a post I'd made back in 1995 about how "making music [wasn't] fun any more," and I'd posted something similar to quadrivium's journal about it a few months ago.

Hang in there. It will come back. It's just anybody's guess as to what will trigger it for you.
