stuff i gathered from letter to a young songwriter.
- prolific > “good” or “having fun.”
- good = your definition of good will shift over time.
- fun = you can get caught up in defining “fun”
- you have a far better chance of meeting both qualities if you just make as much as you can.
- don’t try to be original.
- do studies (copy off of images)
- do style studies!
- do what speaks to you even if it’s cringe or uncomfortable to others. even if it puts you in a weird light.
- always be creating (or filling your cup)
- thinking about it =/= creating. just do it.
