Writers block...

anyone ever find themselves sitting there staring at the wall behind their bench for hours at a time?


It's happening a lot more often these days.

Yep...

...and then three new songs jump out all at once.

Was happily up later than I should have been last night recording 'bare bones' demos and scoring them out.

+1 to the Beer and Sandwich idea.
In fact, about +5 beers, follow with a little Whiskey and to hell with tomorrow!

That happens to me all the time.

When I can think of anything, I start a binge of information gathering. I read a bunch of books, listen to alot of music, watch alot of movies. Anything I can find that can serve as a point of reference or inspiration. I actually end up reading a bunch of educational stuff too. History books and whatnot.

I was having a block for a few months. Now I think my brain is full enough with all this random info that I feel an entire album's worth of stuff waiting to come out. It's almost like something that grows inside you that you have to feed until it's ready to spring out of your brain.

Also sometimes you just kind of hit this brick wall. When that happens, you'll know it. The only remedy for that is a dramatic change in something.
