LINKS Link: Write a LOT

Hey fellow musicians

Today I’m going to link to another one of Paul Nordquist’s pages

The idea of his most recent post is basically to get your brain used to writing. Here’s a small clip of the post

When writing a song — or creating anything — we naturally want the results to be great. Why set out to create something average? But the pressure to produce great stuff is a burden on the creative process. It’s hard to be inventive when you need guaranteed results. At worst, you might find that you can’t write anything at all, for the fear that you might create something that isn’t good enough.

The Three of Clubs gives us an antidote to perfectionism and writer’s block. Start with several blank sheets of paper, and keep writing until you have filled them up! Your new goal isn’t to create goodness, it’s to end up with a page full of stuff — new stuff that you just wrote.

I think that’s a great idea. I’m going to set aside some time to write a pile of songs without stopping… and I’ll worry about whether or not they’re good when I’m done!

Oh, and I know I’ve been focusing on topic ideas and lyrics a lot lately… I’ll get back to the musical side of things very soon! I’m pretty much just writing about the things that are presenting themselves to me right now.
