i've recently taken this approach to songwriting that's based around recording little song ideas whenever i get them and just having a constant pile of 15-second-long demos to take from and expand upon whenever i want to. this has been working fine so far, but i fear that the number of ideas will soon be so large that i won't be able to make all of them into full songs at a reasonable pace while also developing them to their maximum potential. do i stop recording ideas so fast, giving me more time to work on what's already there but also potentially missing out on what could be some great ideas? do i make them into full songs faster, letting me catch up to the rate at which i'm recording demos but also not giving me enough time to make each song the best version of itself? is there a compromise? do a take a different songwriting approach? help!
i think this is a fine approach, as long as you can learn not to be scared of how large the list gets. just understand that there are infinite ideas, and you will never get a chance to do all of them. once you understand that, there is no harm in having an enormous list. if choosing becomes a problem, you could use random number generators to help
