I’ll tell you the story of the second time. The first time was a long time ago, it was temporary, and it doesn’t really count.

So.

One day I realized that in the past two years I hadn’t much to show for myself in regards to my music. I had written very little, and what I did have was crap. I was in a creative rut that I couldn’t seem to get myself out of. So I had the idea that I should make a website for my music thinking that A) it might be fun, and B) if I had a website out there I would look like an idiot if I had a site for a band that hadn’t written any songs. (Alas, it turns out that the “B” wasn’t enough of a motivator - but more on that another day.)

It turns out that it was quite fun and as I was building the site it I thought “maybe if I get good at this, I can do this for other bands” and from there that little germ of a ‘maybe’ got under my skin more and more. And here I am writing a blog about it all.
