the 90 day challenge

I'm going to take on a 90-day blogging commitment, starting tomorrow, which should place the 90 day mark at March 27, 2007. At that time, I'll take a look at how things are going and decide then whether to take on an additional 90 days, make some other commitment, or stop.

My intention is to blog mainly about musical issues and the sorts of things that come up in my ongoing music studies, in general, and my work on the guitar in particular, as well as music performances and guitar circle work with the Ohio Guitar Ensemble and the Guitar Circle of Chicago . I'll talk about practice routines, ear training, whatever bits of theory hold my interest at any particular point, etc. I'm not planning to say much of anything about my day job, politics, or any deeply personal issues, given that this is a public blog with my real name on it (unless, of course, such things are directly relevant as seen through the filter of music practice and performance).

I'm also planning to publish entries on a time-delayed basis, probably several days behind. Some other diarists/journalers/bloggers in the larger Guitar Craft community have adopted this method. I definitely like the idea of being able to look over what I've written at least one more time before I release it out into the world. If I'm travelling and unable to get online, then I will fill in backlogged entries when I return.

At minimum, if I have absolutely nothing relevant to say, I'll report on the weather for the day.
