When Fantasies of Fame blocks your music creativity

“Fame encourages us to believe that if it hasn’t happened yet, it won’t happen. Fame is not the same as success, and in our true souls we know that. Fame, the desire to attain it, the desire to hold
on to it, can produce the “How am I doing?” syndrome. This question is
not “Is the work going well?” This question is, “How does it look to
them?” Julia Cameron

Flip through a Rolling Stone magazine or watch the Grammy’s and
you’ll soon discover the fame drug at work. It eats at the artist child

entertainment you have to watch yourself and be careful with these
destructive inner thoughts of fame addiction you might have. Be on
guard. Always when you have a big project you’re working on or when
starting a new music project, someone with more talent, more affluence

careful that you don’t compare your ‘newly hatched’ creative work with
someone who has years of experience and a little fame under their belt.
