Occasionally, I will set myself up with a project song. For example, I once decided to write a song where every line would have the same rhyme. It was a silly song about a young man who went to work on for a shipping line and fell in love with the owner's daughter. Another time I wanted to write a song with as many 7th chords as I could manage. The song ended up including g7th, e7th, a7th, d7th, c7th, and d#7th. This was a song about a fellow walking through the woods on snowshoes. My point is that you can write songs about anything, so have some fun with your writing and find ways to stretch your skills.
