At the end of the day it is "horses for courses"...some folk will always want&look for 2nd opinions..and there is a market out there to oblige with this desire...ok.whatever is your bag..perhaps it will in the long term make you a better songwriter...but it will in my honest opinion,... never make you a great songwriter...you may be guided or advised,but in the very long term Songwriting cannot be taught,it comes from within.
You can read books till you are blue in the face,but if it aint within,it aint gonna come out...Songwriting is an art and craft that is very demanding,it takes soul searching to new horizons from within a deep well of creativity,looking for that line or hook,or whatever..but the most important discipline i have learned from my Songwriting is patience...it aint gonna happen overnight...but all one can hope for is..that it will happen...critiques for me personally, are not an option..even free one's...iam my own worst critic...but we all take different paths,hoping to reach the same destination...who say's this game is easy!......Regards to All My Friends on JPF...Terry Moore.
