The Bottleneck !!

A lot of great bluesmen of the past had a kind of personnal idiosyncratic way for handling their bottle neck ! Muddy Waters, Blind Willie Mc Tell, Blind Willie Johnson, Fred Mc Dowell .... while stompin' the ground and shakin' the groove...
As a writer , I have to deal with the bottleneck of the flux of incoming recordings being CD's , LP's and digital files into the bottle of my own capability to write about and to comment the music that I am listening to (while writing simultaneously). I am writing about improvisation since the times of thirty years ago and I was into it since fifty years ago. So since then, I went to different moods and inspirations and a growing knowledge. So I have become quite difficult with myself at writing something that my inner mood of conscience whispers that it should be inaccurate. With my little experience , i can't extend my capacity to write more than I do as ideas and words and phrases and narrative structures do not pour as quick and smooth in front of such an avalanche of recordings and requests that comes week after week .
This is a real bottleneck.
So I hope to fill it but that's not possible to write so quickly in the instant about what I am listening with the prssure of what I need to listen and what I haven't find the time to listen to. And after having listened to : what can I say or write ? How to find words and the suite of lines and the ideas behind these lines ?
Sorry ...
