Well it's the 9th, almost a third of the way into the month. I've got three songs mostly done, and together they total about 8 minutes and change. Not enough! Worse yet, I keep getting bogged down with fixing little levels issues and stuff, and that ends up taking hours (see for example all of last night). Furthermore, I'm a little hard-up for ideas, and for some reason whenever I consider a lyrical possibility, it always sounds hopelessly dumb to me. That is just a personal hang-up, but knowing that hasn't made it any less paralyzing, really.

There is comfort in numbers, though, and Mark (aka Cash Nexus) has put up a great NaSoAlMo page, which includes a list of participants in the sidebar, with links to their pages if possible. It's good to read about others' experiences, especially when they mirror my own "oh crap, 30 minutes is like 15 two-minute songs! I'm screwed!" feelings.
