This is a place to give and receive inspiration and discuss the writing process. I will share ideas, challenges or describe moments when inspiration overtook and a song was born. I want to hear your experiences too-please comment on my posts. This is not a “how to” blog, but tips will be plenty. I will share mp3′s of songs that inspire me. This is a place to feed the muse inside and get writing!!

I have heard many clever and well- crafted songs, but the songs that makes me feel something inside my heart and soul are the ones I want to hear again and again. Our role as songwriters is to access the place inside of us where true inspiration lives and communicate it to through our songs. The craft and polish of our songs comes second. Inspiration and emotional connection come first.
