Hey! Great to hear from you. Yes, I should think it is especially difficult for musicians. Art is rather like zen -- or at least that is how I approach it when I am at my best. If you are not fully engaged, you're off the path. I fail often, but at least I understand what failure is. Writing, on the other hand, is a peculiar sort of art. You have to consider your audience since you are trying to communicate with them. If I just babble things that amuse me, I'm not very interesting and I get nowhere. The effectiveness of one's writing is contingent on a deep understanding of one's audience. If I worry about my audience while painting I'll paint crap, but if I DON'T worry about my audience while writing I'll write crap. Music, maybe, is somewhere in between. Hmm. I may be drifting toward the crap side here. Probably because I'm thinking about my work schedule...
