(Song)writers Block

I've been struggling these past weeks. And it has been affecting my ability to make music, to be creative.

As I said in my previous post, music is a retreat. And it's frustrating when it turns your back onto you. Well, when your own brain turns your back onto you. You start to question everything.

But it's normal. It's all part of the process, I think. And I'm only half-writing this to convince myself.

In the meantime, I might use this opportunity to listen to more music. As I've increased the amount of time spent making music these past few months, I've simultaneously decreased the amount of time spent listening to it. It's an interesting thing, maybe worth of its own post someday. The "creating" vs "consuming" mindset and the interplay between them.
