Do you write songs? Do you write lyrics, music or both? Both, though I normally have help lining out the acutal music part and end up just guiding the process. Do you have a writing partner? Not a permanant one. I collaborate with friends when needed. 4. Do you record your music? Do you use a home studio? If so what gear do you use? I do, though it was for voice acting and not music.

Political debate, reading, studying tropes, comedy writing, and memeing. 10. What would you like to get out of Songstuff? I'd just like to share and grow as a writer, and perhaps develop some of that ambition I seem to be lacking, lol.
