Fear of failure when making music

Hi all :slight_smile:
I found a video that I thought was really good, it explains basically why failing is so important and essential to the creation process and how you need to create a lot of awful work so that you can later spot diamonds inside of it. Kind of obvious idea, but still its a good reminder, and a nice video overall.

This probably resonates with a lot of us. If you want, please share your experience of how failure helps or motivates you, or how you feel about it. Its the journey that matters. Cheers

I’m so used to nobodies trash talking my music that it no longer fazes me. Makes my determination stronger and always learning to develop my skills. I do it for fun and toward a vision of my soundtrack.

“all first drafts are shit” – Hemingway

it’s just the way of creating art that the first thing out of your brain is almost never going to be the finished product.
