Things to know about being a composer

Your songs are your treasures.

Nobody can tell you that they and deserved to be blotted from the memories of your listeners; but people can tell you what they think about it - good or otherwise. Nobody can tell you that you do not deserve the chance to be a composer; but others can tell you that you could try harder and improve. Although people may criticize your work; some do out of love and care.

No matter what, never ever stop singing the new song of your heart and soul. They are your treasures.

Seek not to conform to what they say; seek to speak what your heart tells you to.

However, knowing this, never stop improving. Never stop seeking ways to write better lyrics (although the quality of lyrics - unless under a set of strict measurable standard rules - will vary from one to another) and never stop learning chord progressions to improve your songs.

There is never a bad composer; only a lazy composer.
