I’d like to write more but I don’t tend to like my writing for longer than ten minutes after I’ve written it. I’ve gone through the process of putting in my 10k hours in music and gone through the motions of attempting to build a professional music career, so I generally understand that the sucking phase lasts a long time. I also know a lot of it is jumping into the routine of writing every day. Just curious to see what people have to say.

for a while write stuff and don't save the file or throw it away without looking back at it.

probably not a good idea to edit yourself while you're trying to write, just keep going if you make a mistake or want to change something and fix it later if you're going to even look over it or pass it to someone else for comment.
