......write the first thing you think of........your thoughts, feelings, anything......

......develop them later............writing is a window to your soul

Try out different things.

Try music then lyrics. Or lyrics then music. See what works best. Write whatever is around you. Write what you know. Write how you feel.

Hm. Try again. Don't give up. Maybe you're not in the right mood.

here's a sample. I warote this when i couldn't focus on anything. It's just the first verse...

I'm not ready to face what's out there
It's not that I'm not prepared, not that I'm scared
I'm just not focused and now it's impossible
Loud crummy music playing in my head
I can't turn it off so now I wish I was dead
Making me feel like I'm trapped down in a hole

Just write whatever comes to mind. Write about someone you have a crush on or someone you want to strangle (a la Platypus). Write about your feelings at the moment or write about your frustration with something. (for me, it's the dress code)

goood luck!
