There's enough songwriting books out there to choke a horse

just like writing books or advice,

but I have my own ways of doing it

and a lot of it comes from the advice of writers that are basically like Roberto Bellano has a character

in the savage detectives that just you know shouts out if you want to be a writer then write

you know if you want to be a guitar player then play your damn know, if you want to be a guitar player, then play your damn guitar.

I love playing guitar and music,

but life comes at you fast and work and other things

and distractions, and sometimes I'm like I need to remind

myself to get my ass up and just grab a guitar.
