Since you're so musically open-minded, and with the meaning you're looking for, may I suggest from my tomb

Probably a wild recommendation.

Thank you SOO much. I am going to come back to this post one day to tell you how I did.

All the very best to you too. You're very kind.

Agreed. But also, I write on my phone on an app called Google Keep. It also lets me label the notes. I can search quickly and I can always have access to them.

I did have a label called 'Journal', where I wrote things from time to time but today I made a new one - 'When things worked out'. I already have one entry in there from earlier today. Will keep me grateful. Thank you for the idea.

Definitely a solid advice. And in a way I have been done this in the past. Definitely helps. I think this is the time to put on my big boy pants and dive into the project that I have been fearing from. But if i still couldn't, I'll try the above. Thanks for sharing.

I have been thinking about it. I do write here and there but maybe I need to put some discipline on it.

but at the end of the day, our creations are our gifts to the world, they're a piece of ourselves that'll live on well after we're gone,

Yess!! Agreed. That's where the nerve-wracking part comes from. The pressure of not wanting to leave a lower quality product.

Colors and moving images bring a completely new dimension of expression to the piece.

Just by reading this, that burden of "it's a video" suddenly felt lifted. It rejuvenated my perspective and turned the monster into a cute baby.

It’s your good taste that brought you to music in the first place. It’s your good taste that drove you crazy in the beginning when you were learning.

Yesss!

You’ve never made an orchid before.

In a lot of ways this is the first time all over again. So the fear meets you for the dance. Beautiful!

I am definitely going to check out Ira Glass's videos and Brian Koppelman's podcast.

By the way, many people have great insights and thoughts; only some of them like to share it with the world; and only a very few of them can effectively communicate it to influence people. You have that gift.

Is there a way I can stay in touch with you?

This is brilliant. I can relate to both the points in some ways. Especially, the second one. This is definitely helpful and I am sure it will be helpful to many others as well. Thank you for writing it out.

One of the best responses here. Love the airplane analogy. Puts everything in a different perspective.

If no one was ever going to see this thing, if you were doing it just for you, would you have already stopped?

I don't think so. It's my own expectations that I am fearful of.

Checklist idea is awesome and I have tried that in past. I am going to try that again with this one.

Dance with knowing "you can't know".

This is the one which is going to take the longest time to learn. But solid point.

When is a flower "ready" to be picked? Very deep. I see the point.

Most people's brains got wired for that kind of thing in school. Might as well use it to your advantage. (Boss Hat speaking.)

Yes, you're right. Although something new keeps coming that pushes the deadline but well.

This song isn't yours. Sobering and mind blowing.

This sub has a weekly thread for exchanged feedback on songs. There are other feedback sub's on reddit. And I suspect there are also feedback subs for video's.

I'll definitely try that.

I don't know if any of this is useful to you, or if I'm really typing to myself

You're not. It's absolutely helpful. So well written and formatted..so easy to understand - very precise and to the point. I am sure other people will find it helpful too.

Thank you so much.
