Excellent quote, Joanne! And I think it serves the original point very well.

If somebody WANTS to write songs, they should do so for their own reasons rather than quit for other peoples' reasons.

But obviously, any goal can be hard to sustain without encouragement. The easiest way to get encouragement is by posting your music here on the user showcase. There can be a wide range of criticism on some music forums, but this one is full of people who tend to speak about what they like more than about what they don't like.
