Nadia,

Then you have your pathway down. Most writers are not that disciplined and in a world where the competition is writing hundreds of songs with hundreds of people, they are the ones that generally get the deals, the cuts, the hit records. Time is really not a luxury many in the music business can afford.

So much of what these sites are about are "what do I do with my music? "How do I see publishers?" "What company is going to help me get my music out there?" It is and always has been a numbers game. The reason Mozart, Bach, and others were so successful were because they were prolific. They were usually commissioned to do work, write operas, musicals, etc. and had a very tight time frame to do it in.

With the modern era, when a writer or artist gets hot, the demand for their product goes up and if they don't fulfill that, they are yesterday's news faster than they ever imagined. The reason the Beatles did as well as they did, aside from being genuises, were their output. They wrote all the time. And for every one of the 214 songs people have heard there were probably close to a thousand that were started, finished, or just didn't make the final cut.

So it is good to finish things. But the more you finish, the better off you are and more applicable to the needs of the people who are in the business of promoting music. It is and has always been a numbers game. That is the one thing that never changes.
