Discover The Advantages Of Writing About The Songwriting Process
Songwriting is usually a very introspective and time consuming process, so at first glance it might seem unnecessary to add another layer to that introspection. Nonetheless, if you keep a journal about the songwriting process as you experience it, a journal can help to overcome the difficulties of creation. Writing a journal about something as intimate as songwriting can also help beginners know themselves as writers.
You might well ask what type of content should go into a journal about songwriting. Typically, anything that factors into or influences a writer's music as they're composing or crafting lyrics. Any part of any stage of the process is fair game, whether it's a daydream, a poem, or a song on the radio.
The time when no music gets written at all is primed for journaling about songwriting. Documenting these moments are valuable steps towards breaking down the walls between a writer and their best art. While this is happening and not playing on, for instance, their Takamine acoustic guitar, the work they're putting into the journal can serve a purpose later.
The material included in a songwriter's journal can also provide inspiration for lyrics or a chord progression some other time. Anything included in the journal should be related to songwriting or the writer's life, and is, as such, valid material for drawing from.
There are two ways of going about this: a physical journal or a blog. The advantage of the former approach is that with an actual notebook, there's less set-up time; no finding a computer, signing into the blog, etc. All you have to do is find a writing utensil, open up a notebook and write. This makes it easier to achieve that stream of consciousness, non-judgmental voice that is so integral to writing openly about songwriting.
Through the latter option, an online songwriting journal does entail more set-up and less mobility, but it has several unique advantages. As an online tool, it allows you to share your thoughts with trusted readers or a community of musicians, who can comment on and assist with any problems that you might encounter along the way. Don't expect to make money blogging on this subject matter, though; it's mostly for your own good.
In either case, try to write in the journal or blog every day so that it recording the day's events and progress in composing, crafting lyrics, or finding a new Dreadnought acoustic guitar can be documented in terms of the way it affects the writing process. Best wishes to all you budding musicians!
