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

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

I get a different kind of lyric from someone else that might make me go in a different musical direction.

You've got to really be able to accept the rejection.

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

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.

It's very hard to teach someone how to write a song if to begin with there's no creative crop to harvest.
