Right there with you on this one, Neo... For me It's been much tougher to write good songs since meeting a woman who'll put up with me, much less love me. I could always find something to write about, and spend countless hours at the task when I was flying solo, but it seems like a contented heart has to be tricked into writing good music sometimes. I'll have to trick myself into writing by putting myself in another's shoes or by thinking back to the times when things weren't as good in my life.

Another problem for me is just finding time to play. I used to be able to put in the hours of playing like you referred to, but now it's tougher to play two or three hours a night when you're part of a relationship...

Not that I'm complaining--It's a great problem to have, and one I haven't had nearly often enough in the past!!!
