Start with a song idea then abandon it

This is going to seem pretty counterintuitive but should connect with you more
as you read. You may hear me coming from several similar angles to drive the
point home. My goal is always that you are able to take something away from
these posts & put the ideas into practice right away. I'm going to try to share
reasons why you should abandon your original song idea when new inspiration
comes.


The issue that we have is that we start with an idea in our head and we become
really laser focused on trying to get that one idea down completely as it was in
our head. This can lead to a lot of frustration, and it's usually so streamlined
that we don't leave room for other creative ideas to come in.


Because of this, we're not really using our creative brain at the time. That
doesn't mean that you're starting idea is not any good. It usually is fine, but
it doesn't translate exactly the way it is in our head......
