1. #RW4 is coming up next week and I'm beyond excited. I can't wait. There are so many things we have to do but I don't care. I lub it.
2. Real quick, amazing writing tip I figured out recently (if only for myself in the future): if you write everything down on the computer, then never delete anything. I mean don't ever delete a line, or even a word unless it's spelled incorrectly. Anything you don't want to use just space it down to the end of the document or paragraph. Change the style to strikethrough, whatever, just don't delete it! Ever!
I say this because in writing the last four or five songs I have used and discarded hundreds of lines, phrases, words and it has led to some rewarding outcomes. Like all artistic processes, almost all of this work is thrown out and never used. But the things that I have written down and never deleted that end up getting used have been really fun and extremely helpful. Had I deleted these things I may still be writing from scratch, which can be daunting.
3. Speaking of writing, I've finally gotten verses written for everything now but every day I'm finding something not necessarily wrong but not exactly right about a different verse every day. So I'm constantly rethinking things, going over songs in my head, rearranging, and editing and it's as fun as it is frustrating. Fortunately this means that this album will feature some of the most extensive writing that I've done so far, without question.
4. After next weekend I hope we can announce some final plans and start rolling out some release dates. Stay tuned to @40PF on Twitter starting next Friday and on for any immediate news.
