Song Craft - You Are My Hero!

Here's a peak at some writing activity from yesterday. 

I've read (and have been reading-but that's another post) that if you want to be a serious writer - a pro - as opposed to an amateur, you don't sit around and wait till inspiration magically appears.  You show up "at your desk" (even if it IS somewhere outside in the Florida panhandle in late February-I know, hate me) and you do your work!

This is one way that works for me.  Take a title idea, break down the words of it, and write word associations. A large legal pad works best.  Even if at the end of the day I've written nothing usable in lyric form (Definition: Cr*p), at least I showed up (and felt good after the fact!).

AND there was no laptop in site. It was back to basics and NO smartphone.

Okay, back to the palm trees, sunshine, a coolish-warm Gulf breeze. (sorry!)
