I finished the 10th song which is called “smellsLikeBerlin”… The album should be done, now. But it doesn’t feel like it. When I finally managed to work seriously on the last song, I started to work on additional songs. Now, I’m not sure if a) I’m able to finish them, too and b) why not call it done and move on. It’s a kind of anti-writer-block.
Let’s have a look at the “Cult of Done” for inspiration and ask the fine folks reading this post about their opinion. Let, see … Maybe these two:
5. Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
6. The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
So, I give it another week and we’ll see.
What do you do when you don’t know if you’re done?

Yes I know what you mean, I’m thinking about making my latest collection a triple album, there are just too many songs and not enough self editing going on!
True. Funny is that if you need an idea you’ll get zero or many, never only one. But maybe many is better than zero, isn’t it đŸ™‚
