Having a bit of analysis paralysis writing my first solo album. I can’t force songwriting and I’m too afraid of failing to really get started, even after participating in NaSoAlMo four times. So I’m going to adopt this habit: every Monday evening I’ll record something. It doesn’t have to be anything new or finished, it can just be a ten second snippet fleshed out into a thirty second song idea. Or even a simple transfer of an idea from my phone to my computer. But it has to be something, every week. I’m expecting that good ideas will flow only once I’m inside the project, and realizing that I don’t have to dive to get in. 4 years ago
