Lately I've been having a hard time getting ideas for new songs. I might get a little hook, and I'll build a little groove around it, but then I actually listen to it and then I scrap it. Usually I'm able to get inspiration from my own songs by listening to them over and over, but it hasn't been working lately. In fact, I've been low on ideas for pretty much any creative outlet. I think I need to open up my Gameboy and examine the guts again. I got boatloads of ideas when I Pro-Sounded my GB Color, maybe I'll get some more after I backlight my DMG.
On the upside, I found a copy of the Collector's Edition of Monty Python and the Holy Grail for 7 dollars. I got past that frustrating escort mission in Vanquish with those giant jellyfish bomb thingies. I get to do a boomerang demonstration at school in a couple days. My friend gave me a nose flute. Life's good, except for my writer's block. Downtime sucks.
Any ideas for inspiration?

ReplyDeleteWell since you have writers block, maybe you could write about writers block? Also what do you give Vanquish on a scale of 1 to 10?

ReplyDeleteWell MG. Maybe If I get some work done I can send you screenshots that project I was working on. Been busy with school lately so it may be a little while. Maybe I'll try to invent a couple melodies using a music tracker and send them to you. ;)

@Zato_ *insert overused meme here* It's really difficult though.
ReplyDeleteEveryone goes through a phase like that once in a while. What normally gets me going again is, like you mentioned, listening/watching my old projects. But it doesn't hurt to look at other people's work.
