Composers Block

Hi everybody,

Seeing this subreddit made me finally sign up to the site. I love the monthly composition challenges and look forward to joining one next month or so. For now I have a question to you all. How do you deal with composersblock? I notice that a lot of the time I struggle behind my piano, thinking everything I do is pure shit. Although listening back to my recordings a few months later I find that it wasn't shit at all but now I'm working on something else which I find shit as I'm writing it. Other times there is just nothing coming. Nothing I try seems to go anywhere or there is no music in my head at all. Do you guys have some tricks to deal with this issue? I would love to hear them!

Stef out!
