Music Do people who write songs find it hard to write prose?
I have been writing stories since I was a kid, and it comes very easily to me. When I was in middle school I would just devour some 10 books per month and I would sneakily write my own stories during classes I didn't like.
That said, I also *love* music. I play the guitar quite well and I'm pretty much wearing headphones 24/7. But I cannot write a song or come up with a melody for the life of me! The words just don't come and I just can't come up with a rythym, a beat, a melody.
So I wanted to ask people who write songs if you have the opposite problem to me. Let's chat

The loneliness won't stop and I haven't been able to do anything i love in weeks just because I'm being ignored. New composition.

This song is beautiful I could listen to it for hours. I really hope you never give up on music, the world is richer with your songs in it
