I’ve been writing a really cool song and have most of the musical arrangements in order. I’m really excited about this one but haven’t been able to write down a single word. Like not one word set in stone yet. It’s not really writers block as much as I have no idea what I want to write about but maybe that is writers block Anyway... I think sometimes I overthink these things and wind up disrupting creativity by the weight of unreasonable expectations.
Any suggestions how to break the funk of writers block in general since I think I’m admitting to myself as having it via this post
I have never written lyrics so this might be off the mark, but when I just have an image/feeling and not the words for a story I just let it sit for a bit, waiting to see if a story is going to come out of it. I have to admit that I have tons of those images stored in a text file (ie not written as a story), but all the good pieces I have written so far wrote themselves, so to speak. Since you have the music ready, it might be helpful to just figure out what the music says on its own, let that sit for a bit, and then let the image/feeling/etc morph itself into words.
I sound really vague, I'm sorry, but I don't know how to describe that spiritual something in concrete terms...
