okay better and more specific question now. recently I've started this approach to music where I work on an idea nonstop (can be up to 2 weeks) until I'm happy with it. this has resulted in me finally making music that I'm proud of, even though it's a stressful hell zone the entire time I'm working on it (until it finally reaches "good"). on the other hand though, doing this doesn't really help me to develop my skills on my instrument how I would like to, and I'm also spending a lot of time on one thing instead of exercising my writing muscle. and I can't make something that I like quickly for the life of me while many of my peers can and excel at this. should I continue doing what I've been doing and hope I eventually get faster/better at writing over time or switch to making a lot more stuff and spending a lot less time on it (and accepting that a lot of it will suck). or is there a completely different route I should take like working on long son
 gs but a
 lso transcribing/covering or whatever it takes to get better at my instrument and writing?
ah, you must complete the 12 levels of suffering, then the 13th which is the unlucky last and final level; the reason it is unlucky is because after you finish it you will be informed that there is another level after that
