Just Do Your Craft For Fifteen Minutes Without Stopping

A friend told me about a discipline that might be of use, musically.
Being a writer, it came out this way.

Write for fifteen minutes without lifting your pen.

I loaded up fifteen minutes of tunes in need of overdub and let it rip.
No, I didn't get the outcome I was after, but I did find the avenue with which to approach the song.
"Okay, I see it...now."

I think it is also the desired effect when employing this when writing.
(No, really?)
Not that you solve the current stalemate but that you move the landscape around.

Perspective really means a lot.
Discipline in actions is a form of self hypnosis.
Trying to reach a place of concentration. Where the world no longer intrudes. Maybe crafting for fifteen is the equivalent of chanting, "om..."

What changes is the method used to achieve this state of concentration. A tape with subliminal suggestions or playing without hitting the STOP button for fifteen minutes.

When I can blot out everything but the music, what flows from me is the best, absolutely the best of what I have to offer.
It, without exception manifests when I play in public - without provocation. I just fall into it as I take the stage. Time has no meaning, I see nothing, I hear everything.
The difficulty for me is doing this - concentrating when alone.

I now have a new technique to use.
