Hello brethren.

I come to you with my PREDICAMENT. I'm playing in a band with a few of my homies. We're pretty cool I would say, a lot of my songs have turned out more incredible than I could imagine with the input of the rest of the band.

The unfortunate thing (or perhaps the double edged sword?) is that I've become actually addicted to songwriting. I play guitar just about every night, as I did just now..even though I get off work at 10 after going to school 8-4 most nights..exhausted, but I can't help myself.

And in playing so constantly, I'm starting to repeat myself. I'm stuck in that grim little valley of cliche metalcore riffs that can't be stopped. You know, open chugga-widdle-widdle-chugga on the 8th fret-widdle-widdle-chugga on the 10th-widdle, etc.

I like the medium I'm finding between punk, metal, and trance, but I really need to get myself out of this rut before I commit suicide during a breakdown or something. So what would the mass of intelligence that is ss.org suggest for me to do?

Much thanks, crew.
