Psychological Breakthrough

I decided that I've been working under a very dangerous mind-trap ever since I got to school. There are many ways to phrase it: sunk cost fallacy, throwing bad money after good, etc... but it all comes down to the fact that I have been way too protective of my musical ideas.  Over the summer I killed songs left and right, mowing them down in an act of musical carnage.  Since I arrived at school, however, I've had this mentality that I didn't have enough time to arbitrarily throw things out.  

This has caused me a great deal of trouble, but now I can fix it by starting fresh on several of the songs that I was having the most trouble with.  This means that all of the songs will NOT be done by the time of the readthrough, and that some might be sketches, but that, at the very least, there will not be songs in the readthrough that I don't completely believe in.
