Risk/Reward


This week I'm reminded about how much art and creativity, especially when paired with business, is based on opinion.

What is a good song?


What is a great song?


What is a bad song?

To be a creator in such an environment takes courage and resilience. The songwriter must, must, must pour their entire heart and soul into each and every song they write. Nothing can be held back in fear. The easiest way to hold back creativity is to rely on a tried and true form (or formula) of creating. This is where originality is abandoned in hopes of safer ground. Be bold and don't be afraid. There is treasure to be found.

Keep writing (and exploring),
Ben
