A few years ago I was writing a lot of good songs, even had some financial success with a few. Then I started buying better equipment, and building a studio; all because I wanted to write more, and better songs?
Don't get me wrong, I love home recording, but for me it took up all my time to build walls and experiment with all the new stuff and left me with very little time or energy to create.
There is only one way to write songs.... you have to take the time to write them. This sound's redundant and simplistic, but sometimes the obvious truth is missed.
If you take a few minutes each day to sit at your instrument or desk... whatever; and try to write a song, the odds are that you will come up with something. The more time you spend at it, the more you will create.
It has been my observation, that out of ten songs that I write, only one or two will stand the test of time. I play them for my musician friends, and perform them in public or record them and listen to their reactions.
The more songs I write, the better my odds are of creating a good one. So this takes Time and Time = More songs and More songs = One or two good ones and One or Two good ones = ASCAP Royalties.... = $
So I can buy more equipment?
Even If you are not in it for the money.... Seriously, It takes time....
