I agree with what you said. I'm taking theory right now(for the first time) and everything makes much more sense, but when I tried to compose a month into theory, I had problems and couldn't do it. (only now have I be able to slow pull myself out of it) I think I was thinking to much about what people should and want to hear and not what I want people to hear.
I guess we all need to be like Mozart or something, I'm sure he knew what people wanted to hear, and he knew what sounded good, but as his music shows, he didn't let that slow or takeover his creative imagination.
