I doubt Bruce had today's market in mind when he penned the twelfth entry in his manifesto. Still, he makes a good case against success:

12. Keep moving.
The market and its operations have a tendency to reinforce success. Resist it. Allow failure and migration to be part of your practice.

I've written about failure before, but movement and migration bring some spice to the song failure soup. The next time you're casting about endlessly for that one divine note, chord or rhyme, pick the first one at hand and carry on as if it were perfect. What?! What kind of art is that? Think of it this way:

• It may turn out to be perfect in retrospect.
• It gets the song out of your head and into the world, where it's much, much more likely to resolve itself.
• You're not sculpting in bronze. Trust me, you can change it later.
• Perfection is overrated and out of your control (sorry).
