This is not a blog entry

It’s been a long time since my last post. 

A form of nonresponse bias: you don’t see so many posts about how little motivation the poster is feeling. This is not alarming—I knew even before I started that there would be lulls over the course of the several years and 252 concerts. But since it takes time and energy to write, the doldrums are underrepresented in the blog.

I’ve had many entries in mind, but not the time or the additional oomph after other project activities to compose them. I’ve been overstretched between the demands of this project, my regular job, which tends to intensify as the semester progresses, and a couple of other things. Meanwhile the concert writeups, which I originally imagined as just a basic online substantiation of the events—a program, maybe a clip or two—have turned out to be more involved and more narrative, taking a fair chunk of creative energy themselves and also competing with this blog as the main documentation of the project.

And while the blog entries, as I’ve noted, are sometimes more unfiltered, less primping, more diary-like, than the concert writeups, apparently this is not yet to the point of posting “hey what up, btw I am really sick of this now” or the like.

Anyway, UVM exams and end-of-semester performance juries just ended, and I feel some blog posts coming on in the next few days…
