MUSIC AS MUSE
the rhythm is just write…

September Song Project copyright mrsfever.com

So remember that project idea I was trying to flesh out a little while ago?

HERE IT IS!

I’m going to take the month of September to try to get back into the rhythm (get it? 😛 ) of writing regularly again, and I’ll be using music as my muse. If you want to play along with me, please read the following:

What It Is: a music-inspired writing/posting project

How It Will Work: use a song title, lyric, style/genre, or any other aspect of music (instruments, dynamics, bands, types of timing, period ~ a la Baroque, New Age, Classical, etc.) as your inspiration to create

Date Of Project: September 1-30, 2019

Posting Schedule: whatever works for you within the dates given ~ post as little or as often as you choose

Allowed Topics: anything you want to write about!

Rules: link back to this page somehow (you’re welcome to use my little badge-y thingy but it’s not required) in the body of your post and/or leave me a link to your post(s) in the comments section below so we can all find one another

And that’s it!

If you have any questions, please let me know.

OTHERWISE

I’ll seeee yooouuuuu… in Septemmmbeeer…

        oh Yes! Count me in too! This is exactly what i need. I am preparing a song cycle called “The chakras: Ode to a room full of Tibetan Singing Bowls. (It’s all about resonances)…and as you may have noticed, I am writing words again too.
        This involves taking for granted that my brain (or heart) won’t explode, etc…’cause that’s been a bad habit of mine lately.

        I tried to leave you a comment on your post, but it seems to keep timing out on me. So I’ll tell you here: I like it! 🙂 Especially your description of tightening/constriction around your waist — very relate-able!

          Thank you Mrs Fever – yep what a day for WordPress to have problems. I cant even access my site, but I am delighted you approved of my post (and how I spend my spare time!). I’m very inspired by your theme so there is more to come!

    Hello Mrs. Fever
    I’ve tried to participate in your theme. Let me know if I haven’t done everything you wanted us to do. I’m not always great with links etc., but I think I’ve done it right. I’ll do a few more this month—I actually have another post written and waiting in the wings.

      I just visited your blog, but the most recent post I see is from August 30th, and the one before that from August 20th. So… I can’t seem to find it. Would you mind putting your music post link here in the comments for me?

          It’s probably my device. It gets ‘stuck’ sometimes, and if I re-visit a blog I’ve been to recently, it will pull up that previous version of the blog’s front page. I will try again in a little while.

      It’s great! 😀

      And no worries about it not being long-form writing; the point of this project is just to use music to create, and your post is definitely creative! 🙂

      Hmmm…

      Well, the purpose of this project was to provide the impetus to start writing/creating regularly again. Which means new posts, and specifically ones that are published in the month of September.

      So I’m not sure how to answer that, really. I mean, I get it; I have good music-centered past posts too. But they’re not now, y’know?

      Perhaps provide a list of excerpts that link back to your older posts? And/or write a continuation/further thoughts/Part 2? That way you’ll be acknowledging those previous creations while still putting forward something new.

      For some reason, your comment field won’t open for me on your blog, so I’m going to reply here and hope you see it!

      What you said about Frank interpreting *any* physical touch as being potentially sexual – or having the potential to lead to sex – is, I think, largely an issue of male socialization. I’ve seen that kind of thinking in men of all ages, but I find it especially prevalent in men over 50. It’s like the concepts of touch-as-comfort and touch-as-caring, JUST for the sake of comfort and care, are unfathomable. Like if they aren’t pushing for ‘sex next!’ they think they are doing it wrong. (And/or that if we are not responding with “Yes, sex!” that we are doing it wrong.)

      While trauma may compound the issue, I feel like it *is* an issue, in and of itself. It’s cultural, and generational, and I wish I knew how to change it.

        Hmmm … not sure why you couldn’t get access to the comment section, Mrs F … maybe because I was in doing an update this morning … a reread found Frank reacting unconsciously vs subconsciously … lol!

        Yes, I think you may be right … I wonder if the generational situation for men over 50 might be because their fathers/father figures would likely have been less present and less affectionate with male children (boys don’t cry … be a man, concepts being more prevalent in those days). Although Frank was generous with his affections for his own children (male and female), I remember noticing how it came to an end as the kids got older … interesting to see how future generations fare.

        I enjoyed your September project … thank-you! … nj … xx

      I responded to you on your blog but my comment didn’t post — not sure if it’s being moderated or if the internet gremlins got it!

      You pose an interesting question: Who or what is getting the best of you? For me, I try to make sure it’s never a ‘who or what’ but always just plain WHO.

      Thank you for participating this month! I appreciate your tough-subject deconstruction and self-reflection. I wish you and your husband all the best.

      xoxo

      I haven’t thought that far ahead yet, honestly. I probably will do it again – or something like it – in the fall. Meanwhile, I’m doing a memoir project over the summer. You’re welcome to join in with that if you like — music and memory so often go together — I will be posting the details next week. 🙂
