I need some advice

Post by jchitty » Mon Oct 01, 2007 2:22 pm

Well, without sounding too full of it, I have become a songwriting machine lately. I have now written almost 106 songs, and I only started writing two years ago. I worry about losing this creative streak I'm on. The bottom line is that I need to stop writing so much, and I need to start getting critiques, demoing and pitching these songs.These songs are all completed, but then another one pops up, and I spend all day writing it. I wish I could say I had the time to do both....get critiques, make demos, etc.....but it seems like songwriting is taking up ALL my time now.To the veterans out there....how do you reconcile writing with the actual 'go foward' steps that I need to take, such as just putting the writing on hold and focusing on the finished product? This means contacting people like Jason Blume for critiques (or TAXI as well) and then just biting the bullet and finding the funds to make my demoes....just 'doing it.'I really want to stop writing and just go with what I have for now, but I'm fearful that I'll lose this writing streak I'm on. Maybe I'm not good at time managment, but it seems I don't have enough time in the day for both writing and coming up with the finished product. Do any of you out there ever have this problem?
