While writing, I tend to repeat the same song, endlessly, for thousands of times. This helps me ignore any lyrics, and helps create a consistent mood for each book.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Popular music usually has a chorus that needs to repeat, and people need to remember the song. That's sort of the major guideline when you're writing a song.
Often I listen to songs on repeat for days and days at a time. There's something hypnotic or meditative, and it mirrors the way that I am putting the sentence together, going back over the same phrases again and again.
So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well.
When I'm writing, I mean what I'm saying - there's a lot of me in each song.
I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.
I really strive to bring something new to each book. I don't want to write the same book over and over again.
I continually blacken pages and scribble away, so I always have a number of songs that are half-finished.
Once I've written a song, I sometimes refine them.
As an artist, you never want to write the same song again, you always want to challenge yourself to writing in a different way.
As a writer, as a lyricist, you're just trying to make sure that you're not repeating yourself. And that's a danger for a lot of people. So for me, I just try to keep taking corners and trying to find new paths.
