From the course: One Minute Motivational Tips for Songwriters
Consistency is the key
- [Narrator] Consistency in your songwriting is absolutely essential and it reminds me of one of my favorite quotes. Excellence is not a single act, it's a habit. So it's not really about every once in a while writing a song. It's really about making the effort consistently, to write and to improve so that at some point you get to the place where all of your songs start at good. Every once in a while a song will become this miraculous, amazing thing and we don't have a lot of control over that. But we do have a tremendous amount of control over how much we practice our craft, so that the baseline level of all of our songs is, at the very least, good. That comes from consistency and there's no substitute.
