Yes, I still have goals and desires. I want to finish albums and be able to provide myself with new songs to perform, but the feeling I get when I write—the sense that time is simultaneously expanding and disappearing, that I’m simultaneously more me and also free of me—is the main reason I wanted to put my thoughts on songwriting down in book form to share with everyone so inclined. It has to be the going and not just the getting there when it comes to songwriting, or any artistic endeavor, really.
