The Trick

Make a mess!! Our secret trick to defeating writer's block is to make a mess. Get started making music (bad or good), go through the motions, and just create. Make a complete mess of the project you are working on, take it down a different road and explore. Going a thousand miles an hour in the wrong direction is better than standing still. Don't delete any of the work you previously did if this is the case. Just give yourself space to create and make mistakes.


This works because you are moving to action. When you move to action, everything else flows naturally. Your brain is wired to experience emotions followed by behavior.


"You have to make bad music before you can make good music"

- Ed Sheeran
