Speed is king. Start something, finish it. Do not hesitate or try to make a masterpiece, these cannot be planned, they happen along the way.

The AABA Challenge: Let’s Make Bad Music!

I’m a firm believer that in order to make any good music, you have to make a lot of bad music. And in order to make a lot of music—good or bad—you have to be willing to call a track done and move onto the next one. In that spirit, I’ve been challenging myself to crank out 1 or 2 finished tracks a week. I’m not trying to make bad music; I just know it’s not what I want it to be yet, so I am focusing on finishing and learning, and to make it easier I’m sticking to a fairly generic song template: …

And, the most important thing: Make finishing it a habit. If you cannot handle it big, leave it small. But finish it.

Even if it is small crumbs it is way more rewarding to look back on crumbs than on a lot of nothing/void/sketches.
