I’m trying to find a way to push through my writers block as I’m beginning to get ready to take my daughter to school. There’s this thing that I’m not entirely sure many artists out there or aware about, and I think it’s got something to do with our creative stamina, and how it affects our ability to create a consistent level over a long period of time without losing our essence and quality.
At the moment, without thinking too deeply about it I’ve been working on at least 4 to 5 songs over the last three or four weeks. I’m keeping it on hush-hush because I don’t want anybody to pay attention to what I’m doing so that I don’t create any unnecessary expectations. Let’s just say that I like to take my time, and if there is something that suddenly doesn’t feel comfortable anymore, I like to have the option to turn back on my commitment.
Anyway, I’m trying to push my way through this creative block because I have a song that I need to finish in order to work on this other song that also needs finishing. It sounds crazy disorganised because it is, but sadly I tend to find that this is the nature in which productivity runs rife in the music industry.
The key is it making sure that I don’t need to deeply into my perfectionism. Whilst I’m sure I’ve written about it hundreds of times before already, I tend to find that there is a fine balance to be struck when it comes to allowing yourself to be in perfect, as driving towards the best outcome you can accomplish.
In this case I’m just trying to have fun and not take myself too seriously, but also leave a decent impression on the person who will get the opportunity to listen to what I have to say.
