Are you stuck on writing a song?

Listen, I get it.

I’ve been there so many times. Because I’ve been there so often AND with deadlines looming, I have about a hundred tricks in my pocket for getting unstuck. And I’d love to share one with you today.

I had a really great teacher who made the lessons fun and even encouraged me to write a song based on a little poem I liked about a wolfman.
