Instructions

1. WHEN YOU GET READY TO WRITE A SONG YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH A TOPIC THAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT AND CONNECT WITH. ASK YOURSELF WHY DO YOU LIKE CERTAIN SONGS?
2. ONCE YOU HAVE THE TOPIC THE TITLE IS THE NEXT IMPORTANT PART. IT MUST CATCH THE ATTETION OF THE AUDIENCE YOU'RE GOING AFTER. NOT TO SHORT AND NOT TO LONG. SOMETIMES YOU MAY COME UP WITH WORDS FIRST AND THE TITLE LATER BUT THE TOPIC MUST BE KNOWN.
3. MAKE SURE YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. DON'T DESCRIBE THE FEELING OF THE SONG ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU FELT AND WHAT OTHERS COULD BE FEELING IN THE SAME SITUATION GOOD OR BAD.
4. READ WHAT YOU WRITE AND EITHER SAVE IT ON A COMPUTER/DISC OR IN A NOTEBOOK. BE SURE TO GET EVERYTHING COPYRIGHTED BEFORE SHARING WITH UNKNOWN PEOPLE.
