Well that's good. My issue with these lyric a day challenges is they focus on volume. To me, such a process should be about kick starting the creative processes and the drive to complete a draft. Thereafter, once rolling, try to regularly start new lyrics and try new ideas, but switch your emphasis onto quality and completing the lyrics full stop. Just my two cents

Kel, I think it's great you've decided to develop them!

@john, I challenged myself to spur the creative juices by forcing myself to write, not expecting much from it. However a couple came out that I think are worth some development. Generally I agree with quality over quantity, but the juices must keep flowing.

yeah, it's a line I might work into a song. you can if you want. i thought it had some hidden directions it go in. ya know?

Done my writing for today... just posted #4 in a personal challenge to write a lyric a day.

I spent a little time stalking you yesterday. Didn't learn much, lol

I'm interested to hear the story of how you ended up in Nashville, when you have time.

As for me, this last week and a bit, I've unpacked a guitar, practice some nearly every day, been writing every day (well, the last 4 days...) and starting to get the fire back. I've even loaded CD's into the car! George Strait of course!

I try listening to our local Country radio station, but I don't get much of a chance, It's run by the indigenous folk here so there is a lot of political hoohah on it which I get fed up with... just want the music!

Got myself hitched again (3rd time lucky?) Sept 2016 and planning a trip to Hawaii next year. I haven't travelled overseas since 1977! The trip after that may be US mainland... Nic has no interest in Nashville, but has interest in New Orleans, so we might do those two cities. I have always wanted to immerse myself in the Music Row experience... Bluebird Cafe etc. Might even catch up with a friend!!! New Orleans should be interesting too. I like Blues and Nic doesn't mind Jazz, so we should be able to find something we both like there.

Cheers for now

Check your PM 🙂

Unfortunately not. The fire went out one day. Packed up my guitars, put away my keyboard, closed all my notebooks. Didn't even listen to music!

Happy to say, it's back!

I've embarked on a personal challenge to write a lyric a day. # days in and going well...

We'll I am glad you are stoked and re-lit lol

Other than goals for a lyric a day, do you have any goals or aims? They don't need to be fancy, or hugely ambitious, but I find having goals makes a huge difference to ongoing motivation. That could be something as simple as filling your notebook with lyrics through to placing a song, or becoming a multi-trillion selling writer.... reality of those goals is a separate matter!

At this stage, I am committing myself to the lyric a day, and a critique a day, but I've missed a few there, and practicing on my guitar 4-5 days per week. I'm also aiming at submitting works to Tamworth Songwriting Contest and the Australian Songwriting Contest this year.

Not putting too much pressure on myself other than what I can do.

I'm still alive!!!

Merry Christmas Kel.

Merry Christmas Kel Have a good one.

LOL

Well, Sesame Street is obviously 7:00 GMT, so I'd estimate you're looking at an Easy Street time of 2:00.

Oh, Leaf it alone!

Surely you jest-er

no they laugh with him

Beats the constipated muse! How awful would that be...

fair point.

I mean, change this you.
