Norman Dale Bridges joined Sutton Parks's group

This is a hangout for creatives to share and explore ideas that create better art and more of it. This is a place for the daydreamers, artists, musicians, and writers. We are the "round pegs in square holes" who trust intuition and serendipity over rules and dogma and we will never sell out. We believe art is sacred and life is too short not to follow our passion. We reject the “starving artist” mentality because we accept our uniqueness and value our creative works that make the world a…See More

Seven Irrefutable Laws of Creativity

Posted on June 3, 2013 at 5:22pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

1.) Capture it NOW! Write down or record the idea or the song hook immediately. If you wait, it is gone forever. You will not remember it later. Ideas float on a river. If you pluck them out of the river you get to keep them. If you wait, they float away.

2.) Ideas come when you are in the present. There is an old saying, "When you've got one foot in the future and one foot in the…

At 9:55pm on March 16, 2013, Tim Geisinger said…: Sutton, I keep on running into problems both with recording my songs...generally done straight into iMovie, then converted to an Mp3--and constructing decent songs for fine-tuned listeners. I plug away any way. Next stop, I think, may be a recording studio, hand in hand with a well constructed song. Any advice at this point would be helpful, much appreciated.
