How to Get Your Writing Mojo Back
Season 2 Episode 1 Have you ever taken some time off of your songwriting and when you come back you feel like you've lost all the mojo you had built up prior to the break? It happens a lot to writers, myself included! In fact, I find that getting over that initial writing hump after some time off (or if you've never spent time writing before) is what keeps a lot of people from writing on a regular basis in the first place. At the time of recording this episode, I was just starting to get back into my regular songwriting groove after an extended break. I had just wrapped up my year-long songwriting project where I was writing, recording, and releasing new music every three weeks and I wanted some time to catch my breath. So I took a couple months off, and when I came back to it, I definitely felt rusty. So that's what we're talking about in this first episode of season 2. What to do when you find yourself in this "mojo-less" space as a writer. We discuss some of the practical strategies that I've been using to get the juices flowing again to maybe help spark some ideas of your own. Ultimately we talk about the best way to get your mojo back, which is just sitting down and writing without judging what comes out on the page. The Honest Songwriter Podcast is 15-20 minutes of regular, open conversation about songwriting, what it's like to be a songwriter, and how to keep improving at the craft of songwriting. New episodes every three weeks!
