I was driving along this morning listening to my favoritew radio station when a song came on I remember from the 50's or 60's. (Can't remember the name or artist).
A very nice intro that let me instantly recognize what was to come. Then came the singer and the melody.
And it hit me! Writing and producing the song has to be very similar to writing anything!!!!!
I do the outline or follow the story that fills my head. When I'm finished with these lyrics, I go back to make sure the words are the way I want them.
Then comes the revision and review - like the production effort of finding the right instruments and how to play them. In other words, adding voice or showing the world I've created.
Now, I look forward to producing my story to create a lush and entertaining work.
