Here's episode 14 of The Hexagon: A Podcast For Singer-Songwriters.  It's a podcast about 6 aspects of being a singer-songwriter today (songwriting, performing, recording, business, growth, and life).  This month, Drew Kohl and I sit down for a talk...we discuss some of the following, and a lot more.   Writes first thing in the morning…sometimes random, stream of consciousness.   Important to write every day, waiting for inspiration limits output.     Ratio is 1 of 10 songs written are good…so daily practice gets to good songs more often.   Sometimes write as quickly as possible (doesn’t even have to make sense) — to shake writer’s block.   30 “Solid Gold” Chord Progressions from American Songwriter Magazine:  https://americansongwriter.com/2015/02/measure-measure-30-solid-gold-chord-progressions/   Drew learns new chords from learning to play new covers.   Uses https://evernote.com/  to organize catalog and song ideas.  Keeps things organized by genre, project, etc.     Drew mentions recording here: http://www.paulmoakmusic.com/the-smoakstack/   Focus on making good content, audience and opportunity will come??   Follow strategies of people at a realistic level, people whose career you respect   You gotta find a good reason to write songs—outside of external validation   Jesse mentions “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert:  https://www.amazon.com/Big-Magic-Creative-Living-Beyond/dp/1594634726   Songs of Drew's featured in the episode:   New Rain - from New Rain EP   Who's Gonna Take You Home? - from New Rain EP   Someone To Let You Down - from Sweetheart EP   Is It You? — from Sweetheart EP      Get in touch with Drew:   https://drewkohl.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrewKohlMusic/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drewkohlhttp://www.hexagonpodcast.com/episode/episode-14-drew-kohl
