Fun is the Point

Not recognition. 

Not followers. 

Not engagement. 

Not monetizing. 

Not attention. 

Fun. 

Fun is the point. 

All that other stuff would be nice, but it's not the point. 

Flawed is Good

Flawed is human.

Flawed is relatable. 

Flawed is a beautiful thing. 

Don't shy away from the flaws. 

Lean into them. 

Mind Blank

So what do you do?

You write anyways. 

If it's good, congrats! You pushed through and created something. 

If it's bad, congrats! You pushed through and created something. 

We find what we're looking for. 

Done is Better than Perfect

Completing the act poorly is better than being paralyzed by the plan of perfection. 

Finishing a flawed attempt is better than reviewing a perfect strategy. 

Execution that falls short in real life is better than perfect plans that die on paper. 

Make the promise. Keep the promise. 

It's Out There

The album I absolutely have to write is out there. 

I haven't found it yet. 

But... it is out there... and I won't be able to NOT write it once I find it. 

OR... you force yourself to do it because it's not actually out there and instead it's in your head and your soul but needs to be caught instead of found. 

Or something like that...

Because it's not that easy. Nothing worth doing ever is. 

Commitment

I made one.

And then I broke it. 

And now I have to make amends with myself for breaking that commitment. 

I'll be okay. And I'm devastated. 

But it's not the end of the world.

It's just the end of the world as it could have been.
