NDAs that go both ways

October 13, 2014  /  Susan MaughlinWood

At first, it was a very odd feeling to need to sign a non-disclosure agreement about projects I was working on. The pain of having all of this music I'm super extra proud of and want to share, that I cannot. I acclimated about as much I could, though. Projects started to collect, as they do. Some of them have gone into hibernation, some have changed, one has actually died. Some are moving. Now the shoe is on both feet at the same time, as I send out my own little NDA for collaborators. The waiting IS the hardest part.
