​It is the writer's privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart.

It was about 13 years ago when I decided to approach my songwriting very differently.  Having written for over 20 years at that point in my life, I had recently become very aware of my own shortcomings when it came to stewarding my creative gifts well.  It was then that I decided to become a student of songwriting.  

I began to devour any book I could find on songs and songwriting.  I attended conferences and workshops.  I sought out relationships with people who could mentor me, challenge me, and who offered to invest in my writing.  It was the beginning of a humbling journey, on which I have discovered much about myself.  

This fall has ushered in a new season of life for me.  And while I find it very healthy allowing myself to grieve the passing of time, I also know that each new season brings wonderful things that I don't want to miss.  As I have considered how to best use the hours that I now find at my disposal, I could easily fill those hours with writing projects that need my attention.  I certainly want to be productive, and plan to be.  However, I am also committed to balancing the time I'll spend crossing things off my project list with my continuing education in the area of songwriting. Books, DVDs, podcasts, workshops; things that remind me there is always room to grow.  

I'm grateful I get to continue my education without the pressure of grades, professors and a looming graduation date.  'Cause that stuff is just stressful.  Learning is fun.

You need to keep on studying if you feel like you need to do it. Songwriting is something that cannot be done if you don't have the talent for it. That is the reason why it starts with curiosity until you take the first step which is the desire to learn it. Actually, the idea that you are very flexible when it comes to your writing talent is very good. That's why you need to develop it further! I've been planning to learn it ever since, but it seems like the skill is not for me and I already accepted it!
