Songwriting, Writer's Block... When the well goes dry....

Read or listen to other good material. Particularly poetry, and particularly for me, Shakespeare. Forms of the language we're not familiar with can give one new & interesting tools to use, and can help shake some of the cobwebs loose.

 

I'm not a songwriter and I'm not terribly creative either. What I am good at is improving existing ideas. Maybe you just need someone to bounce ideas against.

 

if i feel i cannot exploit the 'great' ideas...i exploit the crappy ones.


never stop. always practice your craft. take a break from everything when you need to rest.
