Thread Name: Tips for singer/songwriters
Subject: RE: Tips for singer/songwriters
You don't understand how songwriters think, Ron. First point is that, for good or ill, writers are born, not made(this is true of artists of all other sorts, as well)--you are born with your gift--and, whether the world thinks it great or small, it consumes you totally, and to you it is great.
The next point, equally for good or ill,the writer's judgement alone determines what he or she will write, how they will write it, and, when it is done. Good writers are the ones who make good choices, bad ones make not so good choices, but they all think that they are making good choices--
So you must understand that what you get is always what the writer thinks is good--whether it is or not is another story.
