How do you get into your creative mind and what is your writing process?

I have been experiencing a similar thing. I have finally figured out that I have been bored with what I was trying to do. It wasn't exciting. I have started into some new things and finding some challenges, which is a good thing. I get off of work an hour before my wife does. I have been heading straight home and dropping all of my stuff off then firing up the computer and playing until she gets home. I usually get in an hour to an hour and a half each day now. If I am really digging into something I will stick with it longer. This has been helping me find some excitement. I am setting here spending time playing today as I took a couple of days off of work to just do whatever I feel like doing. I have been playing all morning, to the point of all four of my fretting fingers being sore enough that I need to stop. :)

I am working on some things that I am probably going to put out for the world to see and hear. That is my goal at least. I think once I get this going it will be easier. I have never really been one to like seeing and hearing recordings of myself but I am trying to change that.

Perfect timing! The Do Something Challenge Season X starts on Sunday October 12!! I hope we get to hear some pieces from you Mr. JasonE ;~))

Talk about timing! I'm working up something new, and now I have an occasion to release it: A Hard Day's Blight.

It's the follow up to my first record, Meet The Dweeble.

All the excitement and energy of a live performance will be there. The bad news is, there won't be tumultuous applause from a live audience. Because my mom died 3 years ago.

Not sure if this is guitar riff or lyrics related topic.
But when it comes to writting lyrics, messy life helps.
My life is absolute d0g5h1t, but at least my lyrics are good thanks to that.

It wasn't about just one of them. It was an all encompassing question. I have had some things happen in life this year, both good and bad, that have my lyric writing at least moving forward a little bit. I have had some issues with the music side of it. I hate everything I have come up with. I came across a piece that I have been working on. It isn't really complicated but it is melodic and has some interesting timing to it. I got the parts worked out but had some issues getting the timing down. I know that the issue is the piece is new to me. I have been listening to it occasionally to get it in my head so I can just follow what is in there. I am almost there but I burned the tip of my index finger on my fretting hand and that has taken me out of playing for a little bit. I am hoping that gets good enough to play soon so I can record the piece.
