Songwriting Tip:

Bloggercise Your Songwriting!

Start a blog. Seriously. Start it with a few other people who will help hold you accountable for writing music.

Some of my fellow musicians (living in different parts of the country) decided that this year, rather than spending too much time in front of the tv or on the computer, we would channel that energy into songwriting. In fact, some of the initial inspiration came from an article here on Blogging Muses, "A song a week, could you do it?"

Needless to say, now I and my compatriots have written 8 songs between us in one month, and we're all pretty darn happy about it.

I think what's really great about this is the accountability, knowing that someone else is checking in on us and is supporting us in the process. Just knowing that my fellow songwriters are going to hear my songs gives me some motivation to keep writing to contribute my part to the challenge.

We each set a monthly/weekly goal and then just push each other to get as close to our goal as possible.

You can visit us sometime and challenge yourself as well or get inspired at http://songwritingapples.blogspot.com

Happy songwriting!
