Inspired by @Unicron's comments in that working from home thread I am curious whether other musicians have to force themselves to play music or does it differ from person to person? I can go six months without playing an instrument or evening listening to music and sometimes I feel bad about it and try to force myself to play/practice/write more. Occasionally this works well but a lot of the time I just think am I fooling myself and should stop pretending to be a musician. I am writing a lot of poetry/lyrics, at least a lot of fragments but my motivation to follow through on a song from start to finish has approached the lowest I recall. I have never been the fastest more fecund songwriter out there. When Gaz or any of the Padraigs are milling out 20 tunes a week I'd be lucky to write a new daycent tune every 3 or 4 months.
Anyway, thoughts? Any point in forcing the point? Is it time to give up the ghost? Does it matter? Are straight white men who wear glasses the worst thing that ever happened to pop music?
