Is it really just that black and white? I would love to write songs that resonate with the public, but maybe I don't have it in me, or maybe I do -- I have only been writing for 1 1/2 years. My take on OurStage is that if you can consistently place your songs in the top 10%, then maybe you've got something.
Of course, I realize that OurStage rewards good performances of good songs. Until I can get someone else to perform my songs (or suddenly, I get better) I know that I don't stand much of a chance. I understand that and accept it, but I still hold out hope that I can slip a song or two in there that might do pretty well. I plan to keep trying.
