July 28 - My lifelong struggle with resistance to completing creative work has me where I am today, finally overcoming. I had this track with another set of lyrics that just didn't fit, then another, and then this came. I think it works better…

September 10 - Feeling like the well is running dry lyrically (I know that's not true and is really fear, doubt, and resistance). Grabbed this title from the FAWM Muse site and told myself "write!" VERSE: The tall grass is blowing As I ride…
