"The prime goal of an author is the same as a musician, which is to emotionally connect with the reader in some way or another."

Goal

"Sometime I write a song off a central idea, instead of emotion."

Idea

"Sometimes I will click on a random sequence of notes- not to actually use it in a song, but to see if I can find maybe a simple pattern that I can build off of."

Music

"Writing a song is much like being an author. Yes, we all have tools to write (everyone has a brain I hope!), but that doesn't all of a sudden make us best selling authors."

Selling

"Food is your body's fuel. Without fuel, your body wants to shut down."

Food

"If our main goal is to connect emotionally, we should want to have as many tools as we possibly can to achieve that goal. The more abilities that we have, the more choices we can make musically."

Goal

"Hooks need to be predictable and not predictable at the same time."

Time

"The most important thing is that you like the music."

Music

"Sometimes just getting out of the house and doing something you haven't done in a long time (or never done!) can open up the doors to musical inspiration."

Time

"Music is about textures as well as melody."
