Having only written 2 tunes and one song, I can only speak to those instances. However, each one started when a small piece inserted itself into my mind and demanded to be dealt with right away. Now that I've gotten a taste of it, I'd like to do more of it. I carry a notebook now to write down snatches of verse that happen to come my way or ideas for subjects. We'll see if it helps. I hope it does.
