Exhausted?

Composers,

Here are some thoughts from this week's discussion!

-How do you exercise your creativity in everyday situations?
-What is the relationship between failure and creativity?
-How do we give everything to our craft without burning out in other areas of life?
-Is exhaustion real? Is it just an excuse?
-What is the difference between discipline and forcing your creativity?

-How do our activities outside of composing serve as "research" for our art?

-How can you stimulate your creativity by changing what you are doing?

Welcome and Welcome Back!
