I have always enjoyed writing, though when I was younger virtually all of my attempts to complete a story or essay failed miserably. I was great at coming up with ideas, but turning them into a finished project was always the hard part for me.
I'm better at sticking with my projects now, but my interests have changed and I now consider writing lyrics to be the most enjoyable form of writing. After years of scribbling down phrases on receipt paper at work and then copying them down into one of my songbooks, I have finally decided that being a lyricist is something that I should pursue wholeheartedly. It has always been a dream of mine and it doesn't make much sense to keep putting off my dreams. What better time than now? What will I gain from waiting?
I don't expect this to be easy, but I do expect it to be rewarding when I start seeing results from my work. I am excited about the songs I have written and I am excited about continuing to write them. I am excited to identify myself as a lyricist.
