When trying to write a song, write what you feel. OK, but what about when you aren't even sure of what you're feeling? I try to write my feelings, but I don't know what is going on in my head. It seems to just be a hurricane of emotions and thoughts and dreams. The result is a lot of unfinished work and frustration in failing to be able to know myself. I've never been very good with emotions.
There are times that I get thrown into an emotional funk. I'm not quite sure what ends up pulling me out of it, but I always seem to come around. I can't wait until I do.
For now, I'm not sure if I'm at a dead end or a three-way stop. By that I mean, is my songwriting creativity over, or am I stopped while I determine whether to turn left or right?

I like this one - you're a totally honest artist. Although I'm not writing music, this happens a lot just writing. It sounds over used, but what gets me out of slumps and three-way intersections is to just plow through, get down 300 or 500 words or so. If I'm still stuck, I'll put it away and pick it up later. Most of the time, this unlocks something though, even if it's not where I thought the road was leading - sometimes you've got to take the dirt trail you pass a half-mail back.
