Wow, thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful advice! Especially since you’re in the middle of multitasking AND homeschooling right now!

The rock band you were part of sounds like such an amazing experience. I can definitely see how surrounding yourself with people who encourage your creativity would help that piece to blossom. 😊

Also, thanks for reassuring me that I shouldn’t worry too much about my song sounding like someone else’s. That is comforting to hear.

I also really LOVE your advice to start journaling when I first wake up. My sleepy, tired brain is less likely to judge what comes out on paper. I can imagine that would be a great exercise to get more used to free flow writing.

Thank you again for your great advice and feedback! Good luck with the rest of the school day! :-)
