Bud, there are a few of us here that participate in February Album Writing Month, where the goal is to write 14 songs in the month of February each year. When we put the invitation here, invariably we get flack about how that’s not really possible, turns songwriting into work, etc.

Those of us that participate know that the practice of being prolific is as much necessary to becoming a songwriter as intense handwringing about each and every syllable.

The thread was already taking the turn of disregard instead of taking the tips to heart as a practicing songwriter.
