If you are not already inspired to write songs then let me suggest that maybe songwriting is not something that suits your personality. Most of the songwriters I know have too much inspiration to keep up with it in actual writing. I will say that being creative in any art takes practice and discipline. You can even see this in Jackson Pollock’s paintings. It is a chicken or egg situation. You do have to try it for a bit before deciding you want to dive in and study the craft. Find a local songwriters group and join in. Participate n FEbruary Album Writing Month 2019. Take a look around the room you are in and pick out one object or other person, and think of three slightly obtuse characteristics about that object or person you would describe in slightly obtuse terms. In other words try to avoid being absolutely direct in your descriptions. Don’t say: the cover of the book is red. Rather: whether it preferred to be green or blue, someone chose scarlet for its hue. Practice that kind of storytelling where you come to the description from a side road instead of the main highway.
