John Rich's Songwriting Tips #20

I've heard some people say that you should keep a journal or some mess like that to write in every day. I call bullshit. A journal? That sounds kinda fruity to me. I just make sure to carry a pen with me so I can write at any given moment. Maybe you're having a five o'clock cocktail and you get a hook idea... just write it on the bar napkin. Or possibly you're enjoying an after-supper whiskey and Coke and you think of a great bridge, just scrawl it on one of those little cardboard coasters. Midnight Jägerbomb give you a great chorus for that hook you wrote earlier? Whip out your pen and finish up. So to summarize: journal = not straight.

Not actually written by John Rich.
