Starting from scratch

Starting from scratch is often difficult. You don’t have any reference or prior knowledge for anything. Things are hard to remember because you don’t have a way to hold onto them.

But you’re rarely ever starting from scratch.

A lot of things are related.

Definitely within on field things are related, but even outside of within one field.

Ideas in music are related to ideas in philosophy and visual art. Many things in music theory are related to math.

Ideas in writing composition are related to ideas in music composition.

You’re rarely starting purely from scratch.
