Every day for an entire week, push through.
I’m writing this for the songwriting folks out there but I’m sure even if you’re not one you can apply your own version.
The idea of writing a full song everyday for an entire week…
Seven days seven songs. Complete.
When the frustration, un-creativity, un-inspiration and tiredness inevitably pop up…push through.
Get to the other side. Don’t back down. Don’t take the afternoon or the week off.
Writers are constantly trying to find the fleeting balance between digging up the muse and letting the muse come to them…but for one week: force it. For one week you have your answer: keep going and finish.
Don’t short it, don’t skirt the edge, don’t make concessions and excuses, don’t wiggle out.
Seven completions.
Start Sunday. Commit for seven days and find out what it feels like on the other side.
I’d love to hear from you on this.
