Don't Wait For Inspiration

James Hype. Don't Wait For Inspiration

I went quiet on Thoughts. I told myself I was waiting for inspiration.

That's the opposite of how I make music. You start first. The idea shows up once you're already moving.

If I wait for the perfect thought, I post nothing. Then I start thinking I've got nothing to say.

The rule is the same as the studio.

Don't wait for the inspiration. Just fucking start.

What this actually means

the work creates the spark. waiting for the spark is how nothing gets made.

What to do today

Reading about it doesn't make you better. These do.
