Sounds like a good plan Tristan - take stock and let it all settle. I am struggling with the process of WB too - as mentioned earlier in thread, personally it seems to promote half-baked tracks and the pressure of having something ready each Sunday is altering the way I approach writing perhaps more detrimentally than positively. Have really enjoyed all your efforts so far - very keen to hear more material as it materialises

Yeah, this. It was a good exercise in writing/recording quickly, but I'm afraid I'll have to retreat in order to concentrate on writing a prog rock album (a process which will likely take months per song, rather than days), and rehearse/write for the four bands I currently play in

I have really enjoyed your music so far this year, and I wish you all the very best.

If you feel like joining us again later in the year you will be most welcome, but your health is way more important than this project.

What Dastein said... Ditto.

Best of luck with getting your head straight TLR.  I can totally understand where you're coming from (finishing my first year of law school and the pressures on time, energy, and psyche are overwhelming).  I hope that the break from WB makes things easier.  I've missed the deadline during the last few weeks and sometimes have a love/hate relationship with the project...  I can totally understand stepping away.

That said, this community is a great one that I'm really happy to have stumbled upon.  You should keep coming back for listens, feedback, and to post up anything that you create while trying to keep the darkness at bay.  We're listening...

I have been thinking the same. 20 weeks have been great so far.

Track that i uploaded last night for week 21 was deleted/not approved, so my weekly's ended to that. No point to continue when one slot is empty. Not a bad thing as i have had trouble to find time and spending every sunday evening for weeklies have not made my family too happy

Then I've had a whole pack of black dogs after me all year, especially since week 17 -_-
but I'll save that for the #weeklybeatsdepressionsupportgroup channel.

Best of wishes TLR.

yeah im out. 20 weeks is pretty good anyway. but writing these half-assed tracks is devouring all my good ideas and it's not good

Ah, thanks.

That sucks TLR, and others who have the same.

Black dog is a metaphor for depression.

if you change your mind you can still submit stuff, or just post some links to your future work here! I also am confused about the black dog, vinpous...

Boom.

Aint nobody got time for music they aint got time for! Then it's just work. ...and everybody knows work is hazardous to your creativity and sometimes your health. People who burn out usually do it from passion, hard work. Full throttle until something breaks! Nothing wrong about that. Be well TLR. WB's will be here whenever you're ready again.

Bummer.  Catch up soon TLR.

What's the Black Dog?

Black Dog prominent here and I totally understand the added stress of a song every week. You have to tend to yourself first and foremost. We'll all be here if you get things stabilized and feel like contributing again. 52 is just a number. Every song is growth.

The Black Dog was what caused me to eventually bow out in 2012, so I fully sympathise with your situation... Best of luck with everything.
