This one is for the songwriters. What’s your approach to songwriting? How many songs do you write in a month or a year? Purposefully writing more than one song at a time just might increase your output exponentially. Yeah, exponentially – meaning more than just 2x or 3x, I’m talking orders of magnitude here. As with every article of advice that touches on building your craft or increasing your output, the key is consistency. Read on to learn more:
- Writing more than one song at a time takes the pressure off of getting that one song perfect before moving on
- Spreading your creativity across several songs allows you to go with the flow and work on what inspires you rather than banging your head against the wall trying to work on something that’s not inspiring you
- Dedicate yourself to spending 30 minutes to an hour a day on songwriting
- Working on an old song and making tweaks may spark an idea for a new song
- A song you couldn’t finish two months ago might be exactly what you’re ready to work on today
- If you start to feel frustrated working on a song, stop and move on to a different song
This advice (as so much does) boils down to practices that promote consistency while avoiding burnout or frustration. The more songs you write, the better you’ll get at songwriting. Not every song will be a hit or even good and you certainly shouldn’t expect to release every song you write. Work to create a positive space for you to work on your craft and you will improve. Do so regularly and you will find success.
