The challenge set by another writer was to commit to writing at least 30
minutes a day for the next 30 days and also attend a Nashville Songwriter's
Association local meeting. Unfortunately the NSAI meeting is canceled in
December due to the holiday's but there are some other local songwriter
groups I might drop in on. I find it difficult to write for only 30 minutes
as it takes a bit to get things flowing a bit. This old sluggish mind has
to chug along and build some momentum before it can get moving enough to
accomplish anything you know lol.
