I was on another forum where they discuss some of the things that we avoid discussing here, probably for good reason. These guys are so uptight it makes a size 20 underwear look big on Santa Clause. Anyways, I noticed that my creativity is going downhill. I know where I am and feel good in my own skin but I have been called into question on why I feel the way I do. I don't know if you have ever been at that place where you know you know and you know why you know but someone else wants facts and figures. and no matter how many you provide they want more. Is that the definition of insanity?
 
 If you said to this person or persons that you awoke yesterday they would ask you how you are convinced that you really awoke and would want a chart indicating the times and sleep cycles you had.So I made some pretty good points but I'm noticing that I am all uptight in the studio and when I'm uptight I don't do **
 
 I think I'm done with trying to show someone something who already knows the answer which is a different answer than mine ;0). Or I might try to have a little fun and lighten it up a bit.
 
 If you are a musician do you notice the same things happening? I can't create nothing of any kind of anything when I'm in that state.

  You have to admit it is a great excuse!

Let me take a guess. You've been discussing politics online with people of a different point of view?

IMHO......I think we've all had our moments of being "non-creative" and in a sort of musical limbo. Only you can truly understand what you're going through and very likely, you're the only one who can get you out of this slump. These little road bumps won't last very long coz the musician in you will always be nagging to emerge and be creative once again.
 I wouldn't try to force things or over-analyze this situation too much, but rather let it take it's natural course. Sometimes, a little break from music might also do some good and you may all of a sudden find an inspiration without really looking for it. Hang in there Starise....

In the book I'm reading right now, the Nobel Prize author would say that most of the time this is the result of heuristic thinking. 


He states, unless we have all the facts, the human mind will (naturally) jump to conclusions based on our (usually limited) experience and tells itself that it "knows" why it knows the answer.

Not insane thinking, just normal thinking, Tim.

well, you hit so called runners wall or musicians bottom,
and here're come some plants for relaxation to help you with.

 Randy you're close.....Yeah Bapu and Mesh good points. I just hate it when I have studio time and I'm too uptight to think straight. I'll pull through it I'm sure. This might be a good wine night.

  I am going to a wedding this weekend and that should be a change. I am kind of like you Randy in that I don't particularly like weddings and especially weddings three hours away. One good thing though is that my motel called and said that the room I rented for a night is "having problems" and so they are offering me a whole house for the night. My wife will be babysitting her MIL so I'll be in a strange place all by myself. This could be a good thing......

 Have a good weekend guys I gotta catch an appt.!!

Hey.... since you can't discuss it here..... write a song about it.... or two.   

I did and in the past 2 years got 2 songs from said prohibited topic... in addition to all the others I wrote in that time. You can't discuss it but we can dwell on the production values of said song and discuss low pass filtering. 

I need to disconnect from it all for a time.... but you got to admit..... we live in interesting times.... morbid fascination draws me back like a moth to a flame...... dang... there's a new title for my next prohibited topic song...... thanks for the inspiration.... 

you just gotta look at it all through the eyes of a musician and write what you are seeing, thinking, and feeling. 

most of us are too set in our own beliefs to allow any insight from a different point of view.

yes, we need to come out from the box.
