Silence of the Muse: Thoughts on Creativity, Writer's Block and Dry Spells

I'm a highly creative person ( I think), though i'm mostly not publishing anything. The thing is, that I often start things (namely music stuff), stop at some point, 'cause I'm getting frustrated and picky and then just forget about it. Rediscovering old works is sometimes really cool, and I try finishing it with new ideas and stuff, but sometimes, its just awkward to look at it and realize: damn, that wasn't the best thing you ever made, and clicking away very fast cause it's so not so good. But as said above, it is sometimes just a matter of forgetting about it and rediscovering, that can give you a whole new perspective on what your creating. Also, inspiration often strikes me at the most unpleasant times, like minutes before going to bed, or so, and then I have to write down what I'm thinking and, well, sleep just falls behind ;)

I totally know what you mean! I have to have a notepad duct taped to my forehead just to finish a song. I definitely share the difficulty with finishing things as well. I've been working on being less judgmental of my work, but it is a task that seems impossible at times lol! Thanks for weighing in my friend, it really helps
