Lyrically speaking for August 29
Happy Friday everyone! It’s that time of the week where, first you’re ready to get on with your great three-day holiday weekend. But that also means today is another edition of lyrically speaking.

Lyrically Speaking for August 22
Happy Friday everyone! This week I bring to you another song that I’ve been really into these past few weeks. Sometimes a song comes around that you just really enjoy listening to, not just for the lyrics but also because the melody is really great. I don’t even mean great in that ‘typical radio formula’… Continue reading Lyrically Speaking for August 22

Yesterday was finally the day I began working on my outline for Spirit Hackers. I had thought for a bit on how to do this (computer, dictation, etc) and I finally decided to go at it ‘old school’ and get out my Lefty Notebook (did you even know those existed?!?) and get some basic ideas… Continue reading Approaching the On-ramp
Lyrically Speaking for July 27
Hello Sunday Copious Notes visitors! After last weeks’ abomination of a song, I want to rebound with one of the best-written songs I know of that is not Smashing Pumpkins related. It’s also a song I believe everyone has heard already. Tracy Chapman broke out with Fast Car in 1988 and it became an instant… Continue reading Lyrically Speaking for July 27
Lyrically Speaking for July 20
Happy Sunday everyone. Today I wanted to switch it up a little and talk about a song that may not inspire and also could be rooted in controvery. Now, I don’t listen to the radio for various reasons but that doesn’t mean I can escape the hype machine of certain songs. This is partly because… Continue reading Lyrically Speaking for July 20
Lyrically Speaking for July 6
Hey there Copious Notes readers! I hope everyone who’s in the US had a great July 4th and everyone else had an enjoyable weekend. We’re back to Sunday and that means another great song to inspire your writing. As always, I believe that songs can read as poetry and this week is no different. Whether… Continue reading Lyrically Speaking for July 6
Why *You* Write
Last Wednesday I posted about my reasons for getting my butt into a chair and why I write. I posed some interesting questions such as when does someone consider themselves a writer? I also wanted to know what you, the fantastic Copious Notes readers out there, thought about this topic. Boy did you guys comment!… Continue reading Why *You* Write
