Another Awesome topic! I didn't skim through the other postings so I'm probably repeating what others have posted. I started writing when I was a teenager. When I was looking for myself and trying to make sense of life. My mother was a writer of sorts but never published. I had never shared my lyrics with anyone because I felt they were sacred and private-my thoughts that I was too afraid to share. It wasn't until I became involved with a musician for a time that I finally shared my lyrics. He said that I "ought to do something with them". I joined a songwriting association and was told about JPF where I began my real writing. As far as knowing how I knew I could write-when I started getting feedback from JPF friends and local friends that my hook is a good idea and that the flow makes sense..that's when I knew I was on the road to being a real lyricist. I think most anyone can write! The feedback a writer gets depends on the reader, listener and whether or not they can relate so that it touches them somehow. Good Evening!
