A New Year and a New Start

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

A New Year - A New StartHere we are in 2010, and although I am usually dead set against new year’s resolutions, I think I’ll take this opportunity to start blogging with a vengeance!
I have invited several friends I met through SAC (Songwriters’ Association of Canada) and I’ll be sending out invites to many more so I hope to turn this blog into a forum for some ideas about songwriting. What motivates you, what challenges you, whose writing do you admire and why?
Please feel free to comment on anything you read, or start a new topic, there’s nothing I like more than talking shop with songwriters!
I started out with a few entries on songwriting which can be found under “Notes on Songwriting”. I’m still not 100% up to speed with the nuts and bolts of blogging - so anyone who has some experience with Wordpress, any suggestions gratefully accepted. Right now I’m just kinda skimming the surface and hoping it looks okay and works! Please be patient if your comment doesn’t come up right away, as you can tell from some of my previous entries - spam comments are still a bit of a challenge so I have to screen or I’d have 50 viagara ads for every legit comment, sheesh!
