Heh heh heh, I’m already coming up with ideas on how to turn this on it’s head.
Knowing you, I’m not surprised. 🙂
I’ve been writing songs starting after my cancer diagnosis and thanks to Graham English they are inspired faster than I could have imagined. His Speed Songwriting course was the best money I’ve spent in that time because of its structured presentation. If you feel blocked from writing that next song, you should get the course. The info-graphic information above doesn’t even scratch the surface of his presentation. Skip the free cheat sheet, it comes with the course and nothing has been better for my creative work than the genuine thing.

Thank you, Peter! If there’s anything I can do for you, don’t hesitate to ask!
Good stuff thanks for the encouragement
You’re very welcome.
What a great tip! Just when I was going to move into learning a new key beyond C.
No need!
While the statistics on the keys used in popular songs may be true, I don’t think that should influence your writing. Ultimately, the key chosen has to suit the vocal range of the singer. I’ve writen in C, D, E G, Ab and Am so far and I’m not against the keys I haven’t listed. It just depends on where the melody goes and what my voice will stand. If Mariah Carey wants to record one of the songs I’ve done to suit my baritone voice, I’m sure she can transpose it.
As a side note, I have to admit that the song in Ab was written to confuse 3-chord guitar-playing bar patrons.
