Q: idunno, maybe releasing the older stuff will bring me closure, and someone else catharsis. or maybe it will just make others share in my old uncomfy feelings that i've already worked so hard to shed, and heal from. some people only like music that sounds kinda dark, so releasing it might satisfy my libran desire to please everybody, by offering more variety............. do you have any thoughts/feelings about this? have you ever had a similar dilemma?
A: a number of different activities come to mind: you can write brand new things, and add them to the list. you can select older things on the list, and bring them to your modern writing table and learn how to work on them just as you would work on a modern song, fixing what you don't like. you can use your old songs as practice doing this. Another variation on these sorts of activities is: you can select something from the list and mark that as the item to be completed next (before any other) and then do whatever you gotta do to make it how you like it. The point is, there are so many different variations of workflows here, there's a lot of ways to get confused about which thing and which order you're working on things. I think as long as you're already thinking about this, it's worth really trying to craft a great system that you can really get excited about. in due time it can all be done, to the best of your liking
