I get energized and plop myself in front of my computer ready to write, record, compose, play and be that musical genius I think I am.
I compose a score.
I revise and edit.
Rinse and repeat...rinse and repeat.
Finally...hours later, I have a score I like. Yes, this sounds good - in a vacuum.
Now I have to add my guitar for perhaps with a second or third time.
And fuck, I don't have the energy to go on.
This is not new; not age related. I have always had this. After an orgasm, I tend to be hungry and sleepy. Well, the creative process, being another expression of intimate sharing is sex. It is the same thing.
I want a drink, maybe a sandwich and a nap before I go on.
So to be that driven musical genius, I have to learn to have multiple orgasms. Not at the same time. Over a course of a several hours.
I think I am truly on to something. I am not being facetious.
Maybe it is a scheduling thing? Write early in the day and later when I feel it try laying the overdubs down?
