This post is so honest. There is always a part in the hero’s journey usually at the beginning of the third act of a film the or at the 75% point of any screen play , something always happens to the hero that makes things seem lost and they have to summon their strength to finish, I think there is a direct parallel, because where I often get “stuck” on songs is at around the 75% to 80% done mark, those last few details, the remaining nuances of melody to add, and verses to tweak are what I find often most elusive.

Ondine,
Starting is a whole lot easier than finishing!
That’s actually why I began running ‘Finish Your Songs’ workshops – so many writers I work with struggle with that.
Thanks for reading and writing,
Tony

Boy, oh BOY can I relate! I still have at least eight songs that I want to finish. How do you get yourself into a place where you are more apt to do so? I’ve undertaken the Artist’s Way program again and yet I still have those same songs that beckoned to me to start them and remain incomplete.
