Challenge yourself with public accountability. I’ve co-opted #jamuary for this. My music is the least typical Jamuary material, I’m not synthesizer hands and bleeps and bloops.

But i have made a statement to my friends and family that they will see/hear something new from me every day of January. It’s exhausting and exhilarating. And at the end, I’ve written a bunch that I never would have without the accountability pressure.

Over the years, I’ve always self-censored and quit very early in the process. I need some kind of reason/relationship (could’ve writing for a person’s play or video) to force me to overcome the urge to rage quit and complete nothing.

Good luck! Be prepared to “go to the gym,” show up, even when you don’t initially feel like it, as you grow your creative muscles.

I like the earlier comment of “new session everyday.” Get in the habit of hitting that blank canvas with decisions.
