We write to express emotion. When were afraid to express because it’s so intense, or forbidden, or we’re afraid of consequences, we shut down. We’re avoiding this same expression in conversation, too, and in personal thoughts. So we need to dig down, and get in touch with our own feelings. We need to have the courage to face our own feelings and express them. Believe in the power of our skill and taste and technique, the tools which will make our emotions palatable to listeners. These,tools,will also give us a little emotional distance while we’re writing. Get it off your chest and you’ll probably wrote some very cool and powerful songs.
