5. What methods do people use to write songs?

It varies between individuals. Some people set aside a particular
time of day to write, while others wait for the muse to strike them.
Some people pick particular topics to write about, while others play
around with words and sounds to form ideas. Some people work on one
song at a time until it's finished, while others work on several at

where even a mistake can be the seed for a great idea.

Try experimenting with several methods and use the ones you feel most
comfortable with.
