#artofwriting

Writing is more than just putting words on a page; it’s an art form, a way to translate the deepest parts of your soul into something tangible. It’s about finding the right words to capture a fleeting emotion, a vivid image, or a complex thought

When I write, I’m not just telling a story—I’m creating a world. I’m giving life to characters, building landscapes from scratch, and weaving together plots that mirror the human experience. Writing is my way of understanding the world around me and the world within.

But writing isn’t always easy. It’s a journey filled with self-doubt, endless revisions, and moments of frustration. Yet, it’s also a journey of discovery, where you find your voice, uncover hidden truths, and learn to embrace the beauty of imperfection.

Around 3000 BC the scribes were the first to use thin reed brushes to write on papyrus scrolls. It was until in the 1790’s pencil lead was invented by the Australians and French. After a great amount of Technological advances roller ball pens that were invented in the 1980’s preformed with improvements as time aged. Check out my article on What were the first writing tools.

The Art of Song Writing

The Art of Song writing

Today we wanted to talk about the art of song writing . For a long time, I would write songs and let people hear it and the response would always be the same.

So I began diving into the art of song writing. I could not really capture why my songs would not resonate with the listener . I thought all my songs was trash . The dj would not spin them because they were not club songs . The family would not really listen to them. Then one day I took a trip to New York and performed one of my classics “lovin you” . After the show   a guy came up to me and recited one of my lyrics and told me how much he felt those words . At that moment I understood exactly what I needed to do in my songs to help the listener connect with the words ..

Sometimes as artist we get that feeling that we want to give up when we can’t resonate with the listeners .  I’m here to tell you four ways you can connect more to your listeners through song writing ……

Always remember it’s equally important to have the song sonically correct …it does no good to have a nicely written song and the words can’t be heard because the mix is poor…

Is my topic focused?

Is it concept

Is it time sensitive, time specific

Will it resonate 10 years from now?

Is my topic sufficiently interesting?

Is it compelling

Is it shocking

Is it fascinated and to who will be fascinated

Have I used words that someone would use in casual conversation?

Will the words be used in a conversation .

I would make rhymes and just because the words rhyme I felt like it was hot….but really would use the words talking to the homies ….

Jay z is the best at using  words that would be in a casual conversation but still would rhyme and fit inside the rhythm ….

Does it move back and forth between descriptions of events and people, to an emotional release?

What emotions are connected to what you are saying ? Is it anger, is fear, is it love ? How to you want the listener to feel when your song is played ….
