96. Four Songwriting Habits for 2024

Dear songwriter,

Ever wondered if small changes in 2024 could amp up your songwriting? That's the question we're tackling in this episode. As a fellow songwriter, I'm right there with you at the start of 2024, trying to create new habits that could really make a difference to my work. It's only January, but I'm finding these changes are taking root and adding joy to my creative journey.

In this episode, we're talking about why getting up early could mean your best lyrics yet. We'll discuss how reading novels and memoirs can spill into your songs, changing the way you think about lyrics. I'll take you with me to the library, my go-to space for quiet inspiration. And I'll share why I've started documenting my songwriting journey on social media, and how it's helping me connect with other songwriters like you.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• The benefits of writing earlier in the day and actionable steps to integrate this into your routine
• How reading novels and memoirs can act as a muse for your songwriting, and strategies to make reading a habit
• Ways to utilize public spaces like libraries to ignite your lyric-writing process
