Creative block!

Post by meep_audio » Wed Jan 10, 2007 9:00 pm

I am going through the biggest bout of creative block.

During the last few weeks everything i've started sounds shit. It's driving me nuts and making me miserable.

Any suggestions as to how i might go about getting past this?

Switch off all your gear, do not go near it, until the urge is back in your stomach for you to make music..You'll know when that is.Believe me it'll work..if it take 2 weeks or month so be it..Just dont go near your gear!! :wink:

Shave your nuts. Nothing compares to a freshy shorn scrotum, it's really quite refreshing.

I have a suggestion. Pack it on all together. Everything you do start is shit its not your imagination. Nearly everyone heres music is shit thats why they constantly post. go and get a tasty bird and shag her in every position as much as you can. Why make your self miserable when you could be having fun. Life is to short.

Go listen to all the shit music that passes for good thats floating around .....Im not trying to dis anyone...but check it out. I think we can all agree that there is alot of shit music out there.No matter the genre...go listen to somthing that really makes your stomch churn! Or better yet, somthing that bores you to the point where you want to dig out your spleen with a shrimp fork..... thats what I did today....and when I sat down at my laptop....no more block...

Turn off your gear and go outside. Focus on ther areas of your life until the urge is back. I've learned the fastest way to fight writers block is to not try at all. Continually bashing your head against the wall when the muse is gone only seems to prolong the block, so I just stay out of the studio.
