You can get stale writing with each other for a while.

There's so much fear involved in trying to do something you don't know how to do that drugs and alcohol can become a big part of your life if you have an addictive personality or are very unsure, which most songwriters are.

I think that most writers who wait until they're inspired to write are just waiting for the fear to subside.

One other thing, if it's possible, as songwriters, you should also develop yourself as record producers.

If I waited for inspiration every time I sat down to write a song I probably would be a plumber today.

A guitar riff played on a piano doesn't come close to the purity of it being played on a guitar but I faked it enough to get by.

Probably most successful songwriters have an innate songwriting ability.
