In this conversation, we discuss how composers experience creative burnout differently from other artists, how composers can prevent creative burnout (hint: a lot of it has to do with keeping life in balance!), and what we can do as composers once we’re in the thick of creative burnout.
There are a lot of great takeaways in this conversation about how taking care of ourselves helps us take care of our craft.
