Had a dream last night I was in school again. Let me tell you, if there was ever a place for squashing my creative thinking it was school so this seems appropriate. For a project we had to make a poster or something expressing ourselves. Me being the odd person I am chose to do weird stuff, make nonsensical sentences, pictured scenarios that had no logical focal point, etc. I got the project back and it had red marks all over it telling me how I was wrong and none of it made sense. I told her it didn't have to make sense, it was just expression. Told her she was an idiot.
Definite fear being worked on about doing things the "right" way. It's a balance sometimes, you can't disregard all the guidelines as they give your stuff structure, but rigidly adhering to them out of fear is a recipe for boring lifeless work. In the creative field at least.
When I got home yesterday I started working on some music without that familiar procrastination. I'm actually kind of stuck with this track, but I found myself sitting down and seeing what I could do. Even if it was for just a few minutes
