The Scrutiny of One's Mind

My writing process is different from others, based on the fact that a majority of my writing is songwriting. The way I write when writing songs is that I listen to the melody, or the instrumental in most cases, and i writee lyrics based upon how the beat makes me feel or think. Normally once I start writing, I have to finish what I am working on that same day or else my thought process towards that specific subject for the song and my feels toward it at the moment will be forever lost. Traditionally I write when I can with whatever tools are at my disposal, meaning that sometimes I write songs on my phone. At other times I will write songs on pen and paper. The mood and my surroundings generally describe how I will write. My steps are simple, listen to the instrumental once or twice through to get a feel for it, create an idea for said track, create a hook or chorus (or in some cases a refrain), and finally I let the words within my mind flow freely onto the blank canvas to paint the picture within my own mind for others to see. Sometimes its easier then others, but you can't rush perfection. Words from an Average Joe.
