Just do your thing . . .

You may be really pumped about a project and then when it comes to realizing the work, those involved in the project might be less jacked that you are. Do not let them bring you down. You investing great time and energy into it and in your heart, you know you have created something special, so ignore them. This happens in music sometimes. As a composer/arranger, especially one that tries to different, you will write some interesting and unique sounds and they will not be to everyone's taste. That is OK. Keep to your vision, revise what doesn't work, listen to informed criticism, but stay on track. You have something to offer the world, or at least your little corner of it.
