Songwriting Discipline

Don’t get hung up on a single line of your song. If you find yourself hitting a creative wall with one part, just write down the general idea and move on to the next one. You can come back and refine it later.

By doing this, you’ll create a certain rhythm to your songwriting workflow. This will allow you to produce content with regularity and it will reinforce your general discipline as a songwriter. It will also ensure you don’t find yourself in a situation where your songwriting habits are the reason you can’t finish a song.
