Question
I veiw myself as an intelligent, well rounded person, with many interests and passions, and I would love to write songs.  I can never get started.  Sometimes when i do, they are for one line.  How do I start?  How do I continue?  This is all very frustrating.

Answer
   Hey Tony,  I think your probably trying to hard.  Try writing a short story,  then look it over and pick out the lines you could use in a song to tell the story.  Don't wory about ryming;  I think thats all kinda a thing of the past.  Do you play any instraments?     If you want to talk more about it   email me at GrandLakeMan@hotmail.com
