The year is 2013...
Nearly three months have past...
And I've only written one complete song.

This is me, David Haack, being honest and open in my first blog entry.

I've found it hard over the course of the last year or so to keep up with all my creative intentions that are just sitting impatiently up there in my brain. I want to write more songs, but I feel blocked. I want to read more books, but I don't. I want to "go to school" again to really hone my skills at my instrument, but where is the time? I've always wanted to write a blog, but I never have put my fingers to the keys... until now.

I guess that's the point. If you want to do something, you'll do it. If you don't want to do something, you'll find an excuse or a reason not to. It's too hard. It's not convenient. It's not as important as this other thing over there. Whatever it is, it's all garbage. If you want to do something, you'll do it. Plain and simple.

So, here's my first blog entry! I'm using this as personal motivation to be honest with myself, and where I am from day to day. The intent here is that this serves as my journal, whether it's just for me, or for anyone else who might sneak a peak. I'm not trying to be publicly ambitious with this effort, just personally ambitious and keep myself true to my goals. Maybe putting it in writing is the key? I guess time will tell...

One thing I hadn't done that I said I wanted to do, check.

Next up, I plan to dive deeper into why I haven't afforded myself the time to write more music, which is consistently at the top of my to-do list... AND, I intend to set songwriting goals (or sometimes other artistic goals) and use the writing of a daily or semi-daily blog to check myself on their progress.

Keep moving, and stay motivated.

Until next time...
