I will set the scene for you...

You put aside the time, made sure there were no distractions.  Got your lunch prepared early, the coffee is brewing and finally, FINALLY, you get to sit down and write some music for a while. 

Bliss. 

It starts off great.  

A cool verse melody just falls out of your head.  You're really digging the chord structure you just came up with.  You may even be excitedly suspicious that this very day could be THE day when you write one of the best songs you've ever written. 

Then it hits.  

The doubt.  

The sinking feeling in your stomach get stronger.  You hate it.  Thoughts like "this is terrible, I can never show this to someone, oh my god, I've stolen this melody 100%, I'm a fraud..." go through your head.  

And then, you stop.  
You walk away.  
You give in.  
It's all just a bit too much. 

Does that sound familiar?  Well, this week's podcast episode is about exactly that.  

Listen in for how to overcome feelings of doubt whilst you are in the middle of a songwriting session and realise you are not alone.  As always I have some steps for you to take when in the grips of the moment as well as many many words of support and encouragement.

Songwriters - I am running a weekly writing session for songwriters called the Friday 15 Minute Free Write.  These sessions are practical and serve as excellent creative opening exercises and a judgement-free zone!

All you need is yourself, something to write with and 15 minutes.  

Head over to www.beradicalmakemusic.com/freewrite and I will see you next Friday!
