Should everything "take off" like you say (which would be cool by me), I trust that this sort of work will find its proper place into the grande scheme of things. I'm glad to know that you enjoy the blog as much as you do!

I'm glad that you found something to take with you from the post, especially if it spreads a little enthusiasm your way!

I'm not sure how developed my skills are... I'm sort of just relentless with something until I understand it. That's how I've been with this web stuff. Good luck with the bureaucracy (a very, very difficult work to spell). Hope my mom's words help. Oh, and it was Steve Carrell's Office; my office of choice.

I sleep a good solid 7-8 hours a night. How I get everything done, I'm not exactly sure. I'm already working to teach the committee folk how to work the site. That should help.

We'll see how it turns out.

Yes, I think so. And, I think I feel New in New Ways! Something has shifted in the past few days, and I'll be making sense of that shift for many moons to come! Thanks for your kind words of inspiration.

We still need to talk about the conference sessions.

I'm happy to have the outlet to share these ideas.

You are very thoughtful to consider my time, and you are perceptive to point out what sort of time-limitation I might face. I've been asking myself, how would I continue to moderate comments, or even be as involved in this level of dialogue once my schedule picks up (which it will in the very near future)? At some point, it will likely be logistically impossible. But, I wouldn't want the conversation to stop just because I can't respond to every individual person. As I imagine it, my posts might be what initiates the comments and conversation, and a Songcrafting Forum would be the environment for that conversation to take place. If I decide to move forward with this idea, I will likely disable the comment section on the individual posts so that all of the activity takes place on the Forum. Also, as Marcy pointed out, the IntenseDebate comments limit everyone's ability to post longer comments (I know that Isabelle and David have faced a similar dilemma), and I said in this post, the Songcrafting Forum would allow everyone to have their own individual blog should they choose to. Again, thank you for taking into consideration my schedule, and for your continued belief in me.

Thanks for voicing your support, Marcy. You're right - it is pretty wonderful to have a moment like this with someone I love.

Glad the post resonated with you. Tyra, as in, Banks? She has her drag queen moments, and she loves the word "fierce", so if that's who you mean, then, yes. Kinda like she would say it.

It does appear that there was an accidental switch from "full text" to "summary" on the RSS tab. Sorry about that. It has been changed back, so the entire posts should start coming through. Please let me know if things are still a little haywire.

So, it would be a lot like GiST.

Thank you so much for that. Right now, the only place that my EP is available is on iTunes, Amazon's mp3 site and most anywhere else that offers downloads. We don't have an online store up, but hope to soon. I also sell the EP's at my shows, so if you sign up for the Newsletter we'll e-mail you and let you know the next time I'm performing. It was great to meet you as well, and I hope you continue to come back to Songcrafting. Your voice would be very welcome here.
