NaSoAlMo: I'm done!

After much stress, fretting, poo-pooing, self-doubt, and a fair amount of writing and recording, I'm finished with my National Solo Album Month album. It does not yet have a title, but it does have a tentative sequence (front-loaded with the stuff I like best, natch). In the next month or so I plan to tidy things up a bit--re-record some sloppy takes, tweak levels and lyrics that don't sound great or don't make sense. I figure if the way people generally do NaNoWriMo is to write profusely and then spend the next month polishing, then I can do the same thing. I'll share when I decide the stuff's ready for general consumption.

hey lalitree, so are you and john divorced, and if so how do you feel about him still listing you as lilitree darnielle on several of his albums? (or is that still waht you go by?)

Garrett I have no idea where you got that notion, but I can assure you that we are very much still married. :)

oh ok, i'm sorry, it's just that a lot of john's lyrics seemed to suggest otherwise (i.e. in "no children" etc.)

You just have to remember that songwriters often take on characters as narrators--never assume that "I" means the person singing. :)
