Well, Ike

I think you should look into the various ways that successful pro songwriters do their thing day in and day out also. You may just find that it is a lot different from the ways that the amateur songwriters come up with. Not that either is wrong or anything like that. The pros typically are tasked with coming up with product X by end of time Y and that's the bottom line. Nashville pro songwriters that work for publishing houses are but one example of this. There are books on the subject to be found, in which these pros are interviewed, their methods at least outlined if not fully described, etc.

They have even developed a terminology for their methods, too.

*"Ghosting" a song.

*Collaboration

*"Forced" Collaboration

Are but three of those methods.

These are people who have managed to keep their artistic viewpoint but have also learned how to focus it much finer, the point where art meets science, if you will.
