Should I Finish It or Let It Brew?
Hello and welcome back to The Jim Kroft Podcast.
This episode is for anyone caught in that timeless creative tension: should you finish what you’ve started, or let the idea simmer?
I take you inside the creative process behind making my new album—grappling with writer’s block, navigating false starts, and learning to keep going without the help of a label, rival, or sparring partner.
But this isn’t just about music. It’s about how we all move through uncertainty in creative life, and how finishing something often begins with simply showing up.
Because sometimes, waiting is the block. And moving is the muse.
Highlights from this episode:
- 🧠 Writer’s Block Real Talk — What it feels like, and how I faced it head-on
- 🎯 Self-Deadlines That Work — Why booking the studio in advance changed everything
- 🪞 The Imaginary Collaborator — A mind trick that helped me finish songs
- 🔥 Healthy Rivalry — How comparing myself to my heroes sharpened my edge
- 🌀 Emptiness & Inspiration — Why they’re not enemies, but dance partners
Thanks for being here. And wherever you are in your creative process—keep going.
Your host, Jim Kroft
