Write anyways

The idea of inspiration is kind of weird to me. Inspiration is great, when you feel it, but when you don’t it can feel a little weird to write something.

But write anyways. You’ll still get better at writing.

And what are the drawbacks? You write a piece of music you don’t like? So what, throw it out.

What are the potential benefits? You write a piece of music you like.

That benefit enough is reason enough to keep writing.

Don’t burn yourself out trying to write something great for three hours, but still push yourself to write something.

You’ll quickly get over the feeling of “well I don’t have anything to write about” and you’ll get better at generating ideas to write about. Some might be garbage. Well, let’s be honest. Most will probably be garbage. But so what? If you think of 10 ideas for a song and 9/10 of them are garbage, you’ve still found 1 good idea.

Focus on that good idea.

Even if you don’t have inspiration. Write anyways.
