One of the oldest phrases in any language must be \u2018tell me a story.\u2019 Songwriting is storytelling, and telling your story in a compelling way is all about detail. It\u2019s about what you say, and what you don\u2019t say. It\u2019s about the truth, not necessarily the facts. In this workshop, we\u2019ll explore the process of songwriting\u2014the art and the craft, and the delicate balance between the two. We\u2019ll learn how to keep a sense of creative play and when (and how) to welcome the inner critic into the room. We\u2019ll find ways to work through \u201cwriter\u2019s block.\u201d We\u2019ll learn that only through the specific do you achieve the universal\u2014and that\u2019s the holy grail in songwriting and all writing. We write to find out who we are, and in the process we find out we are not alone.
