Here’s the plan: write at least one new composition every day. The idea is that to be creative you sometimes need to “let go” and just write things down fast, without too much self editing. It’s far too easy to get stuck in an endless loop of over-editing. It’s also essential to let go of the notions of “good” and “bad.” Artists too often get hung up on these points, and it can be detrimental.
The primary goal of such an exercise is to eliminate the artificial and often detrimental creative roadblocks inherent in excessive over-editing and second-guessing in the compositional process. Maintaining such a rigid compositional regimen requires a streamlined, almost improvisatory process, in which decisions must be made quickly and second-guessing is kept to an absolute minimum.
