The creative process

8PM

decide that it's been too long, and set down to write a song

9PM

after an hour of being too lazy to open a text editor to brainstorm, decide to record an old song that I'd never actually recorded

9:05PM

realize that not only had it never been recorded, it had never actually been played anywhere outside of my mind, so set down to play the song

9:15PM

after futzing around with the bass part, realize that I don't have the lyrics memorized and set out to write them down

9:30PM

open that text editor

9:45PM

after remembering a grand total of two lines, start rifling through old backed-up files from my old Linux partition in search of the lyrics

10:15PM

continue rifling through old backed-up files, this time from my old Windows partition. They've got to be here somewhere

10:30PM

try using Spotlight to find it by typing in the few lyrics I remember. Find a link which once pointed to the file, but now points to nothing

11:30PM

time for Conan

12AM

set it down for tomorrow and pat myself on the back for a productive and creative evening
