This is the first post for this section of Draftboard. "Tips for Songwriters," is a little section made to help out artists. Here are some starting tips to help you out, if you're a songwriter:
01) It's okay to edit a song, and re-edit. If something doesn't turn out the way you want it to the first time, don't worry about it. Nothing in life is perfect. Not even something that you visualize in your head.
02) If you feel afraid of what someone else might feel about your work, just remember that some of the world's most influential artists in music, have felt the same way as you do, and have still went on to produce and inspire fans with their music. Some songs they were even scared of putting out there, for fear that fans might not like what they've done.
An example of this, is vocalist, songwriter, and musician, Chester Bennington, who belongs to the rock groups, Linkin Park, Dead By Sunrise, and Stone Temple Pilots.

In this article, Chester Bennington tells 'Channel V' that he initially did not like Linkin Park's hit song, "In The End." Instead, he expresses to them that he originally 'hated' the song, and did not want to be on their debut album 'Hybrid Theory,' which was the best selling-debut album of the 21st Century.

Chester Speaks
Today, "In The End" is considered to be Linkin Park's biggest song, hit, and most recognizable staple of their music.
P.S. So just remember, even if you don't like something you made, and you're too afraid to show it to the world, remember that in the end, it could turn out way better than you previously thought. For all songwriters, that's "One thing, you should know."
