On the commercial side, I'm sure I will hit that point in my life where I write because it's pure. Right now, I am drawn to writing more commercial sounding songs. I'm not sure why I like it; but I do. It may be the challenge for me!


Ha...well...that's what will make one some buckaroos.
Adhering to writing as a personal creative therapy isn't a guaranteed path to any monetary success. smile

I have one song called "I'm Goin That Way Too" being one of those massaged by Ted Perlman some years ago.
When I'm in some delusional reverie I'd always wondered if it catered to any degree of commercial viability.
But alas, I'll never know because I don't have the confidence (ego) to believe that I could ever write something that would have any mass appeal.

IIRC from one of your previous posts......you are already in the music biz and writing/recording jingles for some time?
If so, I'll throw some respect your way for being able to be successful at it.

Anyway...we all write for different reasons and I'd wish all success in the paths they pursue.

Mas cafe para mi....a good day to all.
