Nathan Furst – Fear can cure writer’s block
If I ever do have writer's block, what I do to push through it is I just keep writing bad music. Terrible, horrible music. Just keep writing it. The worst stuff, the stuff that makes you want to quit the business by early afternoon. Just keep doing that. The uninspired writing is always a very useful process, because along the way you’ll learn some things. It's all helpful, and eventually you’ll have the opportunity to throw it out.
