Getting started: Setting perfection aside to achieve a blogging presence

Hi all. It’s been a long time coming, but finally it’s here. The Stephen Songtime blog is live after much procrastination (fear) disguised as perfectionism.

Whenever I got close it always seemed more important to rework pre-existing songs, write some news songs, build and polish a body of work that was ready to present in its best light.

I spent a lot of time looking through hundreds of WordPress themes for the perfect base to build on and then learning as much as I could about how to tweak it, and administer it. Had to make a logo, had to discard a logo and try another, had to build a banner, had to read up on the best way to integrate every new social platform (as they continued to multiply) along with my already existing and sadly neglected web presence.

I want to share what I’m doing, hope the process might help others express themselves and, mostly, release my work out into the world so that I can continue to move forward.

So here it is.

I wish I could impart some advice that could help those of you with similar ambitions to just begin, but none of that worked for me. It starts now, because I chose to start it now. It was delayed because I chose to delay it.

In this blog I’ll be sharing my songwriting journey, releasing some of my creations into the universe and exposing a part of me that I’ve kept hidden for most of my life. It has begun.

    Steve… for you, one of my favourite quotations (it’s been on the office wall at work for a looong time):

    “Forget about perfection. Excellence will do!”

    Congrats on the blog, and your lovely first published song. I do think it speaks from that warm heart of yours. 🙂
