Today I was reading "Awakening", by Shakti Gawain, which gives little bits of advice for each day. Today's information was experimentation is needed for creativity. This is especially true in music. Perhaps one third of my compositions are what I'd call good. I have to experiment so many different combinations of chords and notes before I find the one that I'm pleased with. This worked for scientists too. Think of Thomas Edison. He had thousands of experimental lightbulbs before he found the one that worked.
Next time your being creative, be prepared for disappointments. Just take them in stride, and know that you're on your way to a great creation.
