Anyways, I was always a good writer, so I actually like songwriting :eek:
I also can't sing, so I have to use my creativity to make spoken word work in rock. I believe it can actually work if you have the balls to take the flak from vocal purists (half-spoken works for Tool and RHCP, which is always nice to know for us vocally-challenged ;) ).
On another note, my biggest songwriting influence is poetry, which helps a lot here.
My only problem does seem to be coming up with concepts. Once I get that down, I can usually complete an album in one sitting :p
If you ever want to talk about writing, just PM me.
