The Natural Songwriter's Notebook

Quite the opposite. The Natural Songwriter’s Notebook doesn't give you a cookie cutter formula. Instead, it empowers you with the tools and resources to develop your own personal songwriting style. It won't push you into any specific genre of music either.

We all face similar issues when it comes to songwriting, like coming up with lyric ideas, choosing where to take a chorus, or deciding what chord to use next. Part of your unique songwriting style lies in the way you choose to solve these problems. And because your memory and mental patterns are entirely your own, the music you create will already be different to everyone else (that's why we think it's worth making).

Simply use it like you would any songwriters notebook. Write your songs in it. Work on your craft. Only, with this notebook, there should be an improvement in your creative output.

Our aim with Natural Songwriter is to provide you with tools not rules. There is gentle guidance so you won't get lost, but nothing is set in stone. Reading the information on process in the front of the book will help you to understand what it's guiding you to do.

As you work your way through, this notebook equips you with the tools to set your own habits and work through common issues we as songwriters face. These tools, and this notebook, are yours to do with as you please. Experiment and don't hold back. Be weird, be honest, and most importantly, be committed to your craft, whatever shape it may take.

Besides all the improvements to process already discussed, your increased creative production will allow this notebook to foster your improvement in songwriting.

Like any craft, the more you show up, the stronger your skills become. Writing regularly helps train your brain to generate ideas more easily, making creativity feel less like a rare spark and more like a habit you can rely on. And as you practice, you will find unusual ideas and ways to write songs that you can use in the future, improving your capacity for the craft through the natural experimentation that comes with repetition.

Songwriting isn't certain, you never know what you're going to create, nor its quality. Nor will you release every song you write. Many more will go unreleased than end up being heard by others. Writing more songs increases the quality of what you release because you release only your best work. The commitment to continue writing with no immediate reward is crucial. The notebook increases the chances that you remain consistent, firstly via commitment mechanism, and then by accelerating and removing friction from your songwriting process, allowing you to see results with less time delay and less drudgery.

You can think of this notebook as a space to develop your own writing rhythm, one that fits your style, pace, and goals. The more you use it, the more natural songwriting will feel, and the more likely you are to achieve your songwriting goals.

This notebook has been psychologically designed to set you up for success in your songwriting practice, but it can't help if it's just sitting on your bookshelf. We are confident that if you are willing to show up for yourself often, and use the tools in this book to guide you, you will see the results.

If you truly find that it has not helped you in anyway though, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee. Just follow the instructions in our refund policy and we'll help you out.
