Increase Creative Output
by mradamo, 24 days overdue
I want to have one finished, or at least near complete electronic composition, in 30 days. I have long been interested and passionate about this medium - but have never applied myself, and have been frought with self doubt, perfectionsim, and excuses surrounding why it could not be done.
Many of the issues surrounding this are complex and psychological, but I have lacked consistency, actual output and therefore have never given myself a chance to really fall in love with it - which would provide me with motivation for the next project.
The fact that I have not lost sight of this, and not given up, and kept pushing in the face of all this mental and emotional adversity tells me that it is my path, and a certain discipline, and constraints will aid me in becoming one with my craft.
I have many musical interests, but I know that I don't have to speak to them all in what I do here. It can be basic, it can be imperfect, but I want to complete something and say I've done it - to at least give myself the chance to experience that feeling.
- Spend 2 hours every night on it
- Avoid TV or Movie Marathons, Limit them to 1 show per day over dinner
- Remember that I don't have to speak to all my interests with this composition.
- Remember that this peice of work is not the piece that I will be judged on forever.
- Remember that it is highly unlikely to be the best work I will ever do
- Remember that in order to give myself the much owed chance to fall in love with it, I need to experience reflection on my own work, as a completed body, and that learning and increasing my skills will come from this relfection
- I owe this to myself, I have owed it for a long time. I need to do this, I can't go on living without this
