How to WRITE IN THE FLOW and edit later for songwriting SUCCESS!

My fellow songwriter, today I’m going to tell you my ideas on how I wrote a song recently while “in the flow” and did the editing (or writing “from the mind”), later!

I will explain how this happened and the difference between creating from a place of being in the now versus creating from the mind.

This episode is helpful for anyone who feels like they are in a writing slump, or someone who wants to be able to tune into their inner creative genius more often. The coolest part about these techniques is that the benefits overflow into other parts of your life in a positive way.

So take a moment to listen in your car or on a long walk in nature and let’s get ready to make some creative damage together!
