Haha I actually think it might have been me that you picked up that idea from in the "Creative Process?" thread!alphacat wrote:Be flexible while still maintaining at least the same level of effort. If you find one aspect of your process stagnating, move on to something else. This is something I picked up from someone here (whoever you are, thanks!) a while back and it's totally been helping. When I'm working on a song structure and get bogged down or lose focus, go work on sound design and loops or musical phrases that might suit the piece or find samples from a movie. Just keep moving. Eventually your focus re-aligns and you get back to the big picture.
I just want to take my abilities to work and be creative to the next level, but it's sort of seeming as though this is something that is beyond assistance from anyone else, and that it's up to me to develop those skills through pure hard work and patience.
