Marion writers must write about what they witness and experience--first so that others can know about it, and second to give voice to experiences that everyone has, but few are able to share.

It is the special duty of artists and writers to witness and to testify--In cultures other than ours, the duty is often regarded as a sacred and holy obligation. We don't tend to put it that way, but the sense of it is still part of the language we use to talk about art and creativity: gift, talent, calling,the artistic vision--

Anyway, all that aside, you've picked a very difficult subject, and one that is very seldom approached, at least these days--The loss of a baby involves emotions that are intense and terrible--most people avoid the issue, and don't appreciate hearing about it in an entertainment context--People either fall into formulaic cliches or resort to uncomfortable jokes(as illustrated by Gargoyle's post) when the have to deal with it, and they like to move on quickly--

As a writer, it can become a different kind of problem for you, because in your efforts to deal with it honestly, you have to open yourself up to the emotions every else is trying hard to avoid--and you have to stay open as long as it takes you write what you need to write. On top of that, after it is done, you'll have to open everything up again when you learn to sing it--

The worst thing is that if you have started to work on this song in your head, it will haunt you until you have finished it--even if you set it aside and try to move on--songs have a life of their own--
