Tim, I know what it's like. Without other songwriters around to talk to, it feels like I'm trying to run through molasses. Not much inspiration, no feedback, friends who aren't interested, etc. Isolation.

Somehow, I wound up writing about how that feels. The last one I wrote (which isn't exactly finished yet) is just sad. I was sad when I started writing it, had to get sadder to get through it and then found myself seeing a positive way to end it. A clear way out. Songwriting as therapy.

My question is: do I fix everything in the end, or, since a listener will hear the same possibilities I did when I wrote it, do I leave the 'what happens next?' uncertainty in there?
