88 Songwriting Wrongs and How To Right Them. This book has helped me to write better. When my skill improved others around me enjoyed my songs and gave me lots of encouragement. At first this book was a big put down and discouraged me as it revealed my inadequacies according to what "other people" thought was good or bad. It also revealed to my a big challenge of what I'd have to change or eliminate in order to get others to like my songs. Due to this I did not come up with anything new for quite a long time. Eventually as new song ideas came I started putting them together in a fashion that was more conducive to what others might enjoy. The result was much more inspiration from those I entertained.

Working on my vocal and guitar skills and sticking with songs that in genres that best suited for my voice and persona has been key also. The better I get the more compliments I get. = encouragement and inspiration.
