Guilt for doing nothing.
Fear of not knowing what to do.
Go beyond fear and start writing.
See the end of the piece and feel joy.
Happiness at the end of having created something starting from nothing.
Start over again.
I feel like he just described what its going on inside me when I want to write music.
