yeah, it happens. I can empathize,I've been there too.
Doing it for financial reasons alone, for likes, analytics, or attention alone is seeking external sources of validation which is ultimately not going to bring the satisfaction you seek. it starts within and is reflected in the results you experience because of it, not the other way around. Don't be afraid to do some soul-searching. Don't be afraid to let it rest for a bit. if you can't find satisfaction within yourself, you won't feel satisfied in your pursuit and it'll end up just feeling like a grind. If that's the case, then as a creative, it might be worth exploring a different path for a while. Not quitting, just pivoting to something more enjoyable for the right reasons. Follow your creative instinct, do what feels right to you. Nobody will judge you for it. Maybe after that, you'll come back feeling passionate about picking up the songbook again someday for the right reasons. Do what you will. You are too feable to disturb my serenity. - Seneca
How does one Practice Wholeness in a world divided? What does it mean to be a "whole" self, of healthy mind and capable of making healthy decisions? As children in the developmental stages of life, the world is a place full of new things to discover, and as the child may seek to discover the nature of this world, seeks to become a part of it, one might note the abundance of questions asked by the child. Questions like why. As the child grows into 'adulthood' however, the inquisitive nature of life is forgotten. Why?
------------- “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school. It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education. ” ― Albert Einstein Once upon a time I set out to record some Drum Loops. Today I Revisited the concept. This time around I sought help I mean, lets be honest here, It'd be better to leave the drumming to the drummers. The Goal going in was to Sample the entire Drum kit. Bring your choice pieces, mic it, warm up. Record each drum in every possible way. So we Warmed up, finished sampling the kit into this session here. Luckily, the setup was quick and efficient. Tracking went smoothly. we captured each Sample and then about a half-dozen loops. Next up is getting the loops Mixed, I won't get too deep into the weeds on the technical side. Light EQ mostly. Some Minor Edits. Later, the samples will be Exported as individual files and arranged by velocity. What do you think when you hear about the creative cafe?I know we're not all marketers, but there's something to be said for presenting something thats cohesive. I see the whole event/community here as an exploration of creative lifestyle. a mini creative lifestyle blogosphere if you will, only each month we host an event. On the presentation side, I'm less concerned about 'branding' and care more about 'culture'. I see it almost like a 'brand of me' kind of thing, except instead of it being 'me' its instead a group of like minded people, together, accomplishing something very cool.

Capturing ideas on the fly... hope you have a pen and paper
Remember that great idea you had while you were out on the town? Neither did I until I started carrying around a notebook for scratching down ideas. Start collecting and stockpiling these ideas and before you know it, you'll have a deep pool of resources to draw from next time you sit down to focus on creating some new content, and the beauty part is, you'll never have to worry about running out of ideas again... Our August Event. We had some fantastic performances from our friends at the creative studio. Hosted online via Facebook. Huge Thanks to everyone who decided to Collaborate with us to make the event a fantastic experience
