Welp I've never used Patreon before but it was super simple. I made a meager $10 but suppose it's better than nothing. I hope I did everything correctly. I was able to sign in with my Google account and donate. The whole process took about two minutes.

"Favorited" and "Downloaded" stats would be cool, although I don't think many people are downloading or hitting favorite on my music.

Re: 3 more songs uploaded in week 2 than week 1! (6 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I'm bummed I missed week one because I was on a business trip. It's going to be frustrating when (if) at the end of the year I have 51 tracks instead of 52.

Re: How are everyones 2020 intentions going? (32 replies, posted in General Discussion)
This is my first year doing WB. I missed the first week due to a business trip so I'm only 3 tracks in. I'm pretty happy that it kinda forces me to write music again. I used to write quite a bit but slowly stopped over the years.
Another thing I've noticed is that after listening to so many different tracks on here with different styles, I listen to music more intently. I focus more on the production, instruments, and beat than in the past; hopefully trying to spark some new ideas and push myself to try new things. I definitely don't want to push out 51 tracks of the same crap, so listening more intently to music (on and off WB) is going to be important for me.
I don't really have any goals style-wise. This being my first attempt at WB, I'm just going with whatever comes to mind that week. I've also been trying to be more active listening/commenting on tracks. I comment on every track I listen to. I know I would appreciate it so I try to reciprocate.
Now it's time to take a day or two of rest before I start on my next track!

i always refer back to John Cleese who talked about a similar subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb5oIIPO62g
very entertaining as well.
thanks for linking this video, John Cleese is a legend.
I love how one of his opening lines is "I can state categorically that what I have to tell you tonight about how you can all become more creative is a complete waste of time."
