Musicians
Information
I'd like to start a group for musicians. Music is a creative art too! I have a terrible block and issues surrounding my main identity as a musician, so hopefully there will be others with whom to address them.

Hannah, Im curious about what you think of this site I mentioned before.
As far as writing lyric's, I must have a wall up yet. I believe Im running again
instead of getting quiet and just going with the flow. I still have kept a lot of
songs that I have written, which reminds me that I have done this before,
I need to go back and read them again. I just have this dumb fear, and
Im hurting myself.

One of our ccs members shared this web-site with other members.
It's www.musesmuse.com . Check it out!
I signed up for the newsletter which they offered, and also bought the
music package on their site. Hopefully I didn't waste my money.
I also checked out similar sites, and this other site was harrasing
the person from which I bought the music from, and to make matters
worse this person who I bought the music from was harrasing this same
other party.
It annoyed me that neither of them was honest .
This has nothing to do with the ccs member who voluntered this site.
Maybe their is a bit of jealousy going on, but Iam not worrying about.

- Sabrina -- Have you written anything since this post? Singing to other people's records is something I've been doing lately too as a way to develop. Chord progressions come fairly easily, but neither lyrics nor melodies do.

I am in the proccess of choosing different styles of music
that I can relate to such as country, rock, rock an pop.
There are a lot of artists that I enjoy, and have enough cd's
to pick from, but I have two of them in particular that
I am presently working with that are in my voice range.
I believe that it will motivate me to take some action
so that I can begin to write lyric's again. I was working
with two guys eight years ago, on separate occassions,
and I truly miss it. They played the guitar and wrote down
the music notes to my melody because I don't write
music, but when I have a tittle to a song in my mind, the
lyric's always seem to follow. Every time I came up with
a tittle, I thought it was dumb, but after a few weeks went
by I still kept remembering it. 8years have gone by and
I'm wondering if I wil ever be able to write again.

How To Write When You Think You’ve Forgotten How

Finding your own unique voice in writing is not something that can simply happen overnight.
When we’re born, we don’t pop out of our mother’s womb conversing fluently in 3 different languages.

So your writing is a natural extension of this. Even when you have that competency in your mother tongue, as a writer you can then go on to develop an original and distinctive writing style. Here are 5 tips to make this a rewarding journey:
