I've tried a bit of songwriting in the past, but I got stuck, so I decided to take a break from it. I'd like to get back into it, but I have trouble coming up with great riffs I can use in songs. I also have quite a lot of trouble putting words on what I want to say, so that's kind of discouraging too. However, while listening to some music on my computer today, I noticed that songs don't need to follow the traditional format in order to sound great. So there's still hope!
