I spent a wonderful week in Nashville with my late brother Harold in 1998 visiting studios, meeting writers, producers, musicians and singers. We spent time together talking and recording original music; All to 'inspire' me to begin writing and playing again.

BIAB has been the best therapy I've found so far.

I think many people can relate to what you said...well, maybe not the writing in Nashville with your brother (sorry to hear of your loss).

It seems like even the greats have moments where they either don't write, or write mechanically.

I've burned out on other things from pushing beyond what I enjoyed for too long.

Now I'm trying to live more in seasons of my endeavors, and finding I really like it! It just feels like exactly what I said. I needed to miss it. Right now, flying drones is what I will need to miss for a while wink Come spring, I won't be able to stop myself from getting out there!

Thanks for commenting. Honestly, it's nice to know there are others. You may read about it in an interview, or from the grapevine...but it's a world of difference to hear a "me too!" directly from someone. Thanks so much for that!
