I want to let you know that I have shifted my songwriting blog over to Wordpress and have renamed it Songwriting Zen.

The reasons for this move are many and varied and I wont go into them here.

I want to thank the people of Quikonnex for hosting Corey Stewart Songwriting Tips and my other blogs for the past 4 years.

I also want to thank everyone who has visited my blog, read my posts and made comments. The interaction with you all is fantastic and extremely valuable (even though I've been a bit slow in replying to some of you).

You can now find me at Songwriting Zen.

Until next time, keep on writing,

I am making some assumptions here but as songwriters, one of our major goals with our writing is that we want more people like what we do and listen to our songs than not.

I came across an article by Sheena Metal which outlines some of the barriers that songwriters put up and how you can remove them from your audiences way.

I came across an article called "Write a Song Today - The Songwriter's Way of Thinking" by Shamir Rele which sums up how I feel about writing songs.

No matter whether your life is going good or bad, is eventful or not, you can always find a song in whatever you do... If you let it that is.

That's the songwriting mind Shamir is talking about.

As of last week I signed a publishing deal with a newly formed company called "The House Of Wow!" which is run by a very good friend of mine Dino Jag.

Persistance does pay off in the end.

While there is talk of a distribution deal for my first CD in the wind I wanted to first of all let this event settle in my mind.

What does this mean for me? More songs of course. I'll keep all of you posted on my progress.

In the meantime, happy writing,

I came across a simple article by Jason Bridges called "Lyrics and Songwriting Ideas" which outlines some general principles to writing lyrics.

When I was reading this I realised that what he was saying reflected my opinions as well. It's good to know that great minds think alike ;)

I ask this question because it seems to me that we, as songwriters are experts at naming which one of our creations are 'bad'. So much so that, for some songwriters it stops them from creating altogether.

Here are some thoughts I have on the subject...[READ MORE] [COMMENT]]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 00:44:54 -0400 http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=26644 Songwriting Contest - Australian Songwriting Competitions http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=26574 You got to be in it to win it

I happened to come across an article by Andrew Hacker of ARTS Recording Studio in Newcastle NSW called "10 Songwriting Myths Busted". It certainly breaks open a lot of the misconceptions about songwriting and what the related process is really about.

Here it is for you to read and judge for yourself...
