It is an excellent way to trick yourself into productivity. You contact a company to ask if they would like to work with you, you write to a producer and ask for a beat, you ask someone on a date. The company is keen, the producer politely declines, and the potential date says yes. But most importantly, you asked—you gave yourself a chance. You return home one evening and you see the signs on your hallway mirror, your kitchen wall. You have a lot to offer, they say. You can do it, they say. Yes I do, you think, and yes I can.
