Ways Of Writing

Some of the most famous composers have said you have to write alot every day, whether you are inspired or not. My question is, do you guys do this by writing down a lot of ideas untill you find something interesting or do you do this by developing whatever idea comes to mind, whether this idea is interesting or not?

Im curious to hear your replies.

I absolutely HAVE to find an interesting idea to compose. If I have an overused idea and try to develop it, I get bored and lose the will to finish it. That has been the story of all of my drafts so far this week, until today, when I developed a good preludial theme in b-flat major. I'm developing that now, so wish me luck, attention span, and concentration! :P

But what you are saying is that you also developed the other less interesting ideas untill a certain point? How far have you taken them this week before deciding to lose it?

haha and good luck! attention and concentration in composing that theme!
