Over many years, people at book-signings have asked me to sign their books, and I find myself calling upon several ideas. Today, the Great American Song contest asked for ten autographed books. I inscribed each one with a unique thought to hopefully inspire and uplift the songwriters who receive them. After I was through, I read them back to my husband, and we liked how they felt. So I thought I’d share these little everyday wisdoms with you, as some day, somewhere in your writing, they might just inspire you to greater heights!
I hope you never run out of great ideas and reasons to write songs.
Remember there is always another way to write a great idea.
Never forget that Every Word Counts! Never let anything less than your best simply slide by.
May inspiration be your constant companion
Always trust your intuition – it is your greatest ally!
Wonderful Lyrics create photographs in song. Let your audience “see” what you see!
Always remember that the Listener is who you are writing for.
Every person you meet has a story. Let these images permeate your songwriting.
May songwriting always remain one of your life’s great expressive joys.
There is no joy greater than the moment of recognition of a great idea.
