Not as much as I would have liked to, but it seems like a decent amount of things got produced, with a lot more on the front burner for 2014. <br /><br />BYD got 16 songs out the door for Nur Ein, SpinTunes and Song Fight. There's a few others that could count but since they're not released yet, I'll put them in 2014. <br /><br />I hosted 16 listening parties for Nur Ein 8 and SpinTunes 6 & 7, which premiered about 200 songs to the world. That was quite fun to do.<br /><br />I videoed a bunch of concerts including The Doubleclicks, Sarah Donner, Wil Wheaton, Paul & Storm, PaxEast with MC Frontalot and Jonathan Coulton, Sam Hart. My daughter draged me to see Watsky, Wax, BCap, and Dumbfounded, and I became a fan. I got to see some new material for Paul & Storm and Marian Call that was quite special. <br /><br />I tried to enter another film festival with a few friends, but this one didn't quite make the cut, tho I think it was quite funny in a restrained way. <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-fdsH6DJuo<br /><br />I had thought I had an OK year production wise, but it looks like I got more done than I expected. This year BYD has an ambitious slate including 2 albums due soon because I set an arbitrary deadline that will bite me in the ass if I don't hurry up. <br /><br />So while the year wasn't a 'Failure', I did feel I neglected BYD output yet again by having fun and covering friends materials and events instead. And that's not a bad thing. Now I have to convince John to enter the next SpinTunes to alleviate his own guilt at 'Faliure' in 2013.

I did manage to work out iTunes and Stitcher Radio for publishing my first podcast, I made 2 VINE videos, wrote 2 blog posts, booked a voiceover, a pop up theatre gig in London and have been asked if i would be happy to sing thru a megaphone as a kind of Pied Piper of music at the Royal Fest Hall and the Southbank Centre for a special concert they are doing.<br />Plus I used a track of mine that being remxed for release later in year as my podcast music ;-)<br />https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/love-your-creativity-podcast/id633181477 <br />So not a bad week - but WILL write a song and record it this week a la your challenge<br />Thanks John for the Challenge - hope u producing songs u happy with ;-)Marysiahttp://loveyourcreativity.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149451212820771857.post-16000780459608986282013-04-06T10:02:27.785-07:002013-04-06T10:02:27.785-07:00I have just found this and I am joining you ;-)

But, you're right. I hardly made anything myself last year despite a strong start the year before. <br /><br />23. It's not such a large number. With a whole year, that's a little less than one every two weeks. I'm jumping on the bandwagon a bit late, but it's still totally feasible. <br /><br />I will create 23 new creative works this year, and see each one at least to a state where I don't mind letting other people see it (finished enough). I'm currently wrapping my head around in circles on a novelette series, and I think I'll let each entry into that count as 1, but I'm also working on launching a webcomic. Should each comic count as 1? I guess I'll have to gauge that as I see how much effort I put into each strip. <br /><br />23 comics, novelettes, short stories, etc. <br /><br />Let's do this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027236342445432484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149451212820771857.post-65233539090677438662013-01-20T09:31:09.550-08:002013-01-20T09:31:09.550-08:00That's great Edi!

I love the idea of this challenge, but most of the projects that I do are either so large that I average 10-15 per year or so small that I average several per month. At first I couldn't think of anything suited to doing 23 in a year.<br /><br />Then, upon re-reading your original post, it came to me. Blog posts. I don't do nearly enough of those anyway, and this challenge is good motivation for me to stay more on top of it than I normally do.<br /><br />So thanks for the idea, thanks for sharing it, and best of luck to all of us as we make our collective, creative way through 2013.theoriginaledihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974211226208289143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149451212820771857.post-81441469538568057962013-01-15T16:55:35.573-08:002013-01-15T16:55:35.573-08:00Awesome!

I'...I was in much the same boat this last year. I've mainly been working on projects I wrote a few years ago, and my production of new pieces has been way down.<br /><br />I did a similar project in 2008, where I wrote a new song a week and posted it. I only got halfway through the year (the arrival of daughter #2 had a lot to do with that), but having a set period of time in which to finish a piece did wonders for my output, and my creativity...kept me from sinking into the neverending cycle of revision upon revision....and telling people I was doing a weekly project kept me on it. It surprises me that some of my personal best songs came from that "churn 'em out" project.<br /><br />In short, I'm in. A piece every two weeks sounds much more manageable, as well...."Songs From the Dumpster" sort of ate my life for a while. I'll post at my blog. <br /><br />www.centralbatterymusicworks.blogspot.comwww.centralbatterymusicworks.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395642861205140119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149451212820771857.post-21906591917293879452013-01-13T09:41:13.918-08:002013-01-13T09:41:13.918-08:00I do earrings, bracelets and necklaces, plus beade...I do earrings, bracelets and necklaces, plus beaded bookmarks.
