Glad you found me. *hug* My e-mail address is in my profile somewhere if you also feel like dropping a line.<br /><br />Re natural impulses: they may not be terribly noble, but sometimes they make sense. The same urges that make you want to rubberneck a car crash probably also lead you to do things that keep you safe, or to investigate things in your environment that are out of the ordinary.<br /><br />It's when you become obsessed with the scabs and car wrecks of life that it's not healthy. I'm a fan of moderation. I suppose the equivalent in songwriting is to keep the editor on enough of a leash that it doesn't interfere with spontaneous creative thoughts.<br /><br />Or, as SongNote put it, make sure the editor is a creative director and not a sadistic bully. :)<br /><br />We have Cinder Bridge songs on <a href="http://myspace.com/cinderbridge" rel="nofollow">myspace.com/cinderbridge</a>, and our CD at <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cinderbridge" rel="nofollow">cdbaby.com/cinderbridge</a>.

It is a funny conundrum isn't it. I reckon it maybe depends on the tone of voice of the inner critic. When it comes dressed up as creative director, it seems to come with a sword, that though a little sharp, will shape the best design out of your work. When it turns up just to criticise it's more like a bludgeon -aimless and destructive! <br />Where could I listen to your music?SongNotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15591811209511094757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373573052582581717.post-36872572731575569122009-12-01T09:13:28.871-07:002009-12-01T09:13:28.871-07:00Susan,

My natural impulse on seeing a scab is to pick it and when I pass a car crash, naturally I want to look. <br /><br />I am finding liberty and creativity in leaving off my editors hat until much later in the process. It's tough at times but rewarding in the long run, but hey, there's no method now is there?!<br /><br />Thanks for your sweet little blog.<br />LyndonLyndon Wesleyhttp://www.songcity.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
