Holding back vs taking action

My Palm-less days are over. I finally picked up a new Palm device, the LifeDrive. The technology I was used to in my old Palm m500 handheld has been updated so I'll have to get used to a new way of doing things.

Over the years I've had various people who know me say to me that I tend to hold back. I think even one of the reviews I got for Yesterday Seems So Far Away on GarageBand.com said a similar thing. It must be true - I've got some creative projects I'd like to undertake and complete but I'm just not doing anything with them.

Last weekend I decided to write a list of the creative projects where I'm holding back from implementing them. I ended up with a list of eleven items, and that includes doing the instrumental version of The Great Escape.

Having an idea is one thing but acting on it is another. So I've taken some action - I have found the ADATs - digital audio tapes - on which I recorded the original version of The Great Escape, and I've booked a studio session for the 20th to work on the new version.
