Song writing communities?

[JasonE]

Hey Guys!

I have tried writing my own songs many times over many years and I just can't get it done. I am to the point where I would like to find a song writing community or some others that have successfully made it trough this process. I need someone to work with that can help me figure out why I am stuck and can help me get through this. I have always felt that if I can get this process working that it would open the flood gates for me. I have had a lot of ideas that just never go anywhere because I haven't' figured out how to get through the whole process. I think it would be best to be able to get on video calls to talk through things to figure this out. What suggestions do those of you that are putting your own stuff out have to get through this?

I’m kinda surprised no one has responded to this yet. A simple way to start is with collaborating with someone. You may not know where to take an idea or riff necessarily but working with someone who can add to it and keep it moving forward can definitely inspire you and give you a different viewpoint depending on the direction they move with it.

I used to be in a band where the other primary songwriter would come in with these great riffs but he couldn’t get them to flow to together without them seeming disjointed. I had a knack for coming up with transition riffs that would compliment his and give everything a more natural flow.
