In this week’s Audio Premium content, West Latta continues his songwriting series. This week we look at the birth of a song, where your ideas start taking shape and showing promise. It’s time to kick the baby bird out of the nest!

In this second part of our series, we’ll look at the process of birthing the idea into a coherent form, and beginning to tend the idea, to cultivate it, and begin to shape it…

So now you have an idea, you’ve captured its essence, and you’ve decided that you are going to begin sketching around it. Move now to your workspace, studio, or wherever you do your ‘productive’ creative work. This is where you’ll begin to take the seeds of your idea and work with it, nurture it, and begin to slowly shape it into the Song that is yet to come.
