Daily Tips #5

Today's daily tip for songwriters is...

01. Write Poetry!

-You can say that this is sort of like a "part two" to the 4th section of 'Tips for Songwriters.' Sometimes when writing, and you get writer's block, it can be a really hard thing to 'shake off' per say. Another way to possibly rid your mind of writer's block, is to write poetry! 

Writing Poetry can help get rid of "Writer's block."

Now if you particularly like lyrics to a song, those words can connect to you in a way that possibly the regular spoken word, would not. However, writing lyrics is a form of poetry as well, and it's very important to remember that. 

However, if you have writer's block, writing literature and poetry on it's own, could help to free your mind and flow out ideas as well.

Why?

When writing song lyrics, you might have a distinct flow in your head that you write to, or you might want the words to come out in a certain way. It might be specific to how you want the song to be, and because of this, writing lyrics can sometimes be constricted to a certain format, depending on the structure or flexibility of the song. The reason why writing poetry on its own could help free your mind, is because there is no distinct flow for writing poetry. 

Poetry is a vast expansion of the world. It is purely your imagination. Writing freely with poetry, could be one solution to revert your mind back to writing lyrics the way you want them. Who knows? Try it out! It has worked for me! ^^

Julian.
