      Nice one. After being locked down etc getting to move around some more must be pretty cool.

  2. Hello everyone!  I just noticed I have been away from this forum for 11 years or so.  I have written a lot of music since I first posted here, in a variety of genres including pop, country, rock, folk, blues, jazz, and sacred.  Here are links to some of my albums:

  8. Are you guys still not using the chatroom? Lol

    1. john

      You can set up a private club, with a chatroom for just the pair of you, to get the benefits of a chat room in terms of conversation flow. Gimme a shout if you need help setting it up. :)

  9. Quotes applicable to songwriting:

     

    Some days are diamonds, some days are stones

     

    Talent is 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration

     

    If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!!

     

    I'd rather be a big fish in a small puddle than a small fish in a big puddle

     

    And finally, told to me by the head drummer of Duran Duran on a Dallas Texas city bus in the 1980s:

     

    NEVER let ANYONE take your dreams away from you.  Even family and friends.. If you think you can make it in this business - go for it!  (He was being sincere, not sarcastic or condescending).  Thanks, bro, if you ever read this..

      A professional practices until they can’t get it wrong.

      Why do you guys never use chat anymore? My guess is the people who coded the forums introduce a throttle for PMs. If you are using it like chat it’s not the most efficient software wise because of the amount of things PMs are integrated with.

  17. My "Lyric A Day" petered out, but only because I felt I needed to take a second, third, etc look at a few of them. Write on!

    1. john

      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 :)

  18. Friday night is here! and i'm ready for bed...

      Is that snoring I hear?

  19. Wow... we have our own feed now?

    1. john

      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!
