Q: i feel like when i start to write/compose i always have this super productive, creative period, and then i lose motivation after that. i never wind up getting anything done because of it - i have lots of starts but no finished products. any suggestions on how to get over it?
A: i might suggest starting with much simpler and shorter projects. if you still are unclear about the procedures, shorten it even more until the procedure is blaringly simple and obvious. (like turning on a light switch. that's a simple procedure that i think we can all get on board with very quickly.) your procedure gets stronger and more familiar with every project, so keep doing them. then make them slightly longer .....
