Songs written, releases shared, and bits of inspiration

Hello and welcome to Inside Thinking Outside the Blocks. In this series, we share bits of inspiration and celebrate the creative momentum inside our community.


3 Things We’re Inspired By


1. This quote from Jeff Tweedy's book, How to Write One Song.

“No work of art is ever finished; it can only be abandoned in an interesting place.”


2.  This well-said reminder about what consistency looks like. Thanks @heyteamtactic
