This is like making a song. One out of maybe 10 comes in a burst. And then you’ve written it and you’re like: welp, now I just need to produce it, mix it, master it, release it and market it… 🫠
It's an insane amount of work, I can imagine! Making stuff on your own is a pretty herculean task.I dabble in music, mostly noodle around these days, but I can imagine piecing together an actual coherent song must be similar in that you're just kind of sitting there with the uncertainty?
Putting together a coherent song is actually just the first step :D I would say the process changes as you go through your personal / creative journey and there are lots of entry points. You can write a chord progression, then melody, then lyrics. Or melody, then lyrics, then chord progression... Or any other combination thereof :)
You also will benefit from constantly listening for what you like in other music out there!

This is such a thoughtful reflection, Chris. I will be happy to introduce your novel to my daughter when you have completed it. 🤓☺️✨
Thanks so much, Naomi! I really appreciate that.
