FINDING INSPIRATION<br />
Set your surroundings up for songwriting since<br />
ideas can come at any time. You’ll want to commit<br />
those ideas to paper, a computer or voice recorder<br />
as soon as possible, so keep notebooks and pens<br />
in your home, work environment and car. Even a<br />
one-word title is worth writing down.<br />
Know how to get to your phone’s recorder quickly<br />
— you can sing a melodic idea or say your lyrical<br />
idea and save it for later.<br />
Everyone is influenced by different singers,<br />
songwriters, guitarists, composers, instrumentalists<br />
and so on. Make a list of some of the musicians<br />
and songs that have meaning for you. Keep a<br />
playlist of inspirational tunes to keep yourself<br />
continually inspired.<br />
