I’m going to start writing more. And I’m not going to be good at it until I’ve properly made practice a habit.
But without feedback, practice might not be fruitful.
Requesting feedback on things is a labor I can’t expect so many folks to perform (or suffer through).
In art school we all suffered through it together, it was expected as part of the process… but now outside of school… and so many years beyond when I considered myself a creative person; it feels pretty weird to just subject people to your attempts at creative expression.
This is very likely why I am not a consistent or decent artist, songwriter, or really anything at this point…
But you have to be cringe… and you have to be vulnerable… and you have to just plain suck at things for a long time.
And so I hope this year is just chock-full of absolute cringe and terrible writing.
With some hopelessly terrible art.
And some very badly arranged musical ideas.
