I often come across writers block after I finish a song or project that I have been working on exclusively for a long time. I usually try and take a 2-3 day break from production to listen to new music and get the creative juices flowing. I also find it helpful try to leave my house, if I can, and interact with people I like being around.

What keeps your ideas fresh?

-Dan Mikas

I like to try and make a bunch of different ideas and the ones that I like the best I'll work on until they're finished. I'll usually leave my incomplete ideas alone and then revisit them later on.

Sometimes I will compose a section for a song that I'm working on...and I'll like it but it doesn't quite fit so then I re-save the project and split it up into different songs.

Occasionally I will have the majority of a track but it just doesn't seem good enough to release and I'll let it sit for awhile and I'll come back to it and rework it into something else - I've gotten a lot of fresh ideas from this.
