Ok so one thing I need to learn better is to pace myself. Sometimes I pile the demands way too high for myself then beat myself up when I don't reach it. So far I've been staying consistent with my goal. But the one thing I've learned with creativity is sometimes you just need to let it come to you and to not force it. So as important as it is to push myself, it's just as important to know when my brain needs some rest.
I've also been doing a lot of research about a career in composing. It seems like it's a highly competitive field and I need to build some serious skills. So that being said, it's going to be a long term goal for me. I'll have to find a job to support me financially while I pursue this because it's unlikely I'll be making enough money or any money at all within the first year. Like I said, a lot of competition out there. Some starting since they were 14 years old. I started making music when I was around 20 and had absolutely no music experience, so I pretty much started from nothing.
That being said, I made a quick track the other day to experiment with how I might compose for a video game. Starting off with a slower tempo and then increasing it as if the main character was entering a battle. It's kind of a desolate wasteland cyber punk theme to it.
