4 Common Problems with the Creativity Process in Songwriting
(Edited from an e-mail...)
Impostor Syndrome
The problem: Living in constant fear of being found out, for someone to point at you and say "this person is an impostor! I bet he doesn't even know what notes an Ebmin∆7(#9#11) is made up of!"
The underlying mindset: Thinking that making songs is a skill that you either have or don't have, and that there will be a clear point in your life where you'll suddenly be able to do it.
What you need to realize: This moment where you suddenly feel confident in your work doesn't exist. Learning a creative skill is a continuous journey.
What to do: At any given point, do the best you can, and learn as much as you can. That's all you can do.
Writer's Block
The problem: You have stopped writing regularly, out of fear that nothing good will come out.
The underlying mindset: Thinking that creativity is "god-given", an external source that you have no control over. And when it doesn't come, all you can do is wait.
What you need to realize: Creativity is driven by you. See it like a working relationship you have with your muse: the more work you do, the more your muse will feel obliged to chip in. But your muse is lazy: If you work for a few hours in a row, she'll ignore that. Do it every day, and she won't be able to ignore you.
What to do: Write with the sole purpose of activating your muse. The goal is not to write something good, it's to communicate to your brain that you are in creative mode.
Stuckemia
The problem: You're writing a song, and you're not making progress.
The Underlying mindset: If I get stuck, I must not have the talent, or I'm doing something wrong.
What you need to realize: You are stuck for a very simple reason: You have encountered a specific problem you’ve never dealt with before, and you don’t know how to solve it.
What to do: Figure out exactly what the problem is and brainstorm solutions. It’s ok to go for the obvious solution if you can only think of one (“but that would be such a cliche!”), it's more important to get unstuck than to be brilliant. You can always rewrite later.
Perfectionitis
The problem: Not finishing your songs because you're "fixing" and rewriting your music over and over again.
The underlying mindset: I can't release anything less than perfect or people might think I'm lazy or dumb. But what I liked last week seems obvious or uninspired now.
What you need to realize: As long as you keep pushing yourself, you will always be better tomorrow. But that doesn't mean yesterday's songs aren't worth releasing! Songs are time stamps. See them as diary entries: This is what you believed or thought when you wrote that song. It's not your job to rewrite every song until you love it, it's your job to write the best song!
What to do: Jump into the mind of your past self. Figure out what you actually wanted to say or do with your song when you wrote it, and then make that as clear as possible.
An Observation
Something interesting happened after my last mail. I asked you where you struggle the most with your process, but most of the emails I got concerned skills: how do I write melodies to lyrics, how do I write better melodies or chords, etc.
None of these are about process.
That's not to say that you didn't listen, rather it seemed to me as though most of you don't even know what process means and why it's so important.
In other words, the problem is you don't even know why you struggle.
You think you need to learn how to write chords or better melodies, or produce better.
But the truth is that if you don't have a process, none of these will get you anywhere, except stranded in a pile of unfinished songs.
All creative work consists of two big parts:
Skill: how good you are at writing melodies, producing music, ear training, coming up with engaging lyrics, etc. This is the stuff we mostly teach at Holistic Songwriting Academy, and it involves both study and practice. Very important, but useless without:
Process: how you actually write songs. Which instrument do you start with? How do you make sure you don't get stuck and what do you do if you do get stuck? How do you make sure your songs get finished, and that they're as best as they can be? How can you enjoy the creative process, and write more songs quicker? How do you make sure you don't drive yourself crazy? How do you deal with your ego, your perfectionism? How do you deal with tight deadlines?

What to Know About the Eb Minor Chord
The key of Eb minor may be one of the most commonly used minor keys for many famous composers.
It’s no wonder it’s a vital aspect of any new pianist or musicians’ education.
Don’t worry, we’ve made it simple for you with this complete introduction to the E flat minor chords that are derived from this masterpiece inspiring key.
E Flat Minor Chords
Like we mentioned, the E flat minor chords are all derived from the key of E flat minor.
This key signature contains six flats. It’s about as moody-sounding as you can get.
E Flat Minor Scale
The E flat minor scale consists of the following musical tones, or notes:
Eb (read E flat)
F
Gb (read G flat)
Ab (read A flat)
Bb (read B flat)
Cb (read C flat)
Db (read D flat)
Every note except F is flatted in this key. Keeping this in mind may simplify things for you when you’re figuring out what chords exist within the E flat minor key signature.
In the key of E flat minor, the notes follow a set pattern. The pattern is as follows: minor, diminished major, minor, minor, major, major.
Chords
The chords for the key of E flat minor are below, listed in order as they occur according to the E flat minor scale:
i- E flat minor, E flat minor seventh; or written: Ebmin, Ebmin7
iidim- F diminished, F minor seventh flat five; or written: Fdim, Fm7b5
III- G flat major, G flat major seventh; or written: Gbmaj, Gbmaj7
iv- A flat minor, A flat minor seventh; or written: Abmin, Abmin7
v- B flat minor, B flat minor seventh; or written: Bbmin, Bbmin7
VI- C flat major, C flat major seventh; or written: Cbmaj, Cbmaj7
VII- D flat major, D flat dominant seventh; or written: Dbmaj, Db7
Some of the most common chord progressions for E flat minor are:
1. Ebm- Cb- Db
2. Ebm- Abm- Db
3. Ebm- Abm- Bbm
4. Ebm- Cb- Gb- Db
5. Fm7b5- Bbm- Ebm
Triads and Four-Note Chords
Often, chords are played in groups of three notes called triads.
For the key of E flat minor these triads consist of the following three note progressions:
i- E flat minor: Eb, Gb, Bb
iidim- F diminished: F, Ab, Cb
III- G flat major: Gb, Bb, Db
iv- A flat minor: Ab, Cb, Eb
v- B flat minor: Bb, Db, F
VI- C flat major: Cb, Eb, Gb
VII- D flat major: Db, F, Ab
If you have a keen eye for patterns, you’ll have noticed that each of these triads are merely three notes in succession from the key of E flat minor.
They simply skip one note between them.
With this pattern in mind, you can easily figure out what the fourth note of each chord would be in a four-note chord:
i- E flat minor: Eb, Gb, Bb, Db
iidim- F diminished: F, Ab, Cb, Eb
III- G flat major: Gb, Bb, Db, F
iv- A flat minor: Ab, Cb, Eb, Gb
v- B flat minor: Bb, Db, F, Ab
VI- C flat major: Cb, Eb, Gb, Bb

There is one letter-note between each. For example, the first triad goes, Bb, (skip C), Db, (skip Eb), F.
With this pattern in mind, you can easily predict what the fourth note in each chord would be if you wished to play four-note chords instead of triads. Simply add in the fourth note in the pattern, and wah-lah!
