Making music

I got pissed off with life and decided I wasn't going to
make music any more. Then I found out that was not
possible. However, now, I can't spend more than 15 minutes
at a time doing it and I have about 10 versions of each of
the three tracks I am working on and I can't decide which
version to continue working on. Does everyone have these
type of problems?

yeah kind of, I usually start a track and since I do all my
writing at school, when class ends and I haven't finished my
track, I hardly ever go back, or I write something similar
and all in all nothing gets done

Then I should take up hard drug use to help me with this
problem, is that what you are saying?

sometimes.....you have to work when you want to, you cant
force it...have to let it flow....i think i have more
problems with listening to something way better than what im
working on and then getting discouraged, but then i listen
to it again and try to incorporate something cool that i
heard from it to make mine better

I often get "fractured versions", where I want to combine
all the best bits together, but they don't sound so good
together so I end up with several okay versions rather than
one really killer one.

I can spend literally hours making music in one sitting
though, not that I clock watch, but I'd say my longest
session (apart from toilet and junk food breaks) was about
16 hours. A lot of it was fairly mechanical repetative work,
so it wasn't like it was a cretive blast.

As to working on lots of tracks at once, that's a real
problem for me. I've got about 30 tracks in my "work in
progress" folders for various programs, and even more in my
"stagnant" folders. Anything old and unfinished, but too
valuable to delete goes there...
