The other night after reading all the great responses to my initial post, I decided to get started on a new piece.
I haven’t finished all the sections yet, but the A and B sections are “complete” - in the sense that I know what the chords are and have a basic melody. Is it the best thing I’ve ever come up with and a work of genius? NOPE! And I don’t care lol. I’m just going to keep plugging away and finish it.
It may end up in a folder, never to see the light of day, and that’s ok. I have cleared the first hurdle which was to not get stuck after the A section.
Progress!
