Thanks. Nothing magical. Just figured out a system that works for me, and learned what doesn't work as well. I never, for instance, wrote a song I liked where the lyrics came first. It may happen one day but I don't bother trying anymore. Once I've got bass and a beat, I scat sing and lyrics always evolve - for better or worse.
The other thing that pushed me through my stuck point was realizing that I dont HAVE to be successful everytime I sit at the computer with a song, or put my bass or guitar in hand. Even if I put only a half an hour a day into it. Took me a week to come up with a guitar part for the britney spears song. The first day of trying to write guitar parts sucked bad, I felt physically ill. In the past I'd have given up on the song. 2 days later I came up with something I "kinda" liked, a day or two after that I was able to make it work for me. Blah, bla, bla...
I guess basically I learned that if I just stick with whatever I'm doing, eventually it will come - until it doesn't
and then hopefully I'll just move onto the next song.
