My practice of doing one piece of music per week has, I think, paid off: I have 52 pieces of music now that wouldn't have existed if I wasn't doing this. Some, particularly during the first six months, weren't so good. Others after that had a kind of charm and character, and some were authentically good. It's gratifying.
At the end of the year, for a few minutes, it looked like the Weekly Beats site was going to accept more submissions, but then that got corrected. My response was...disappointment. So I'm going to keep going on Soundcloud--look for my stuff there.
