Again, as you, I say, "From Life." Sometimes I'll say, "Songwriting is Life!"<BR/><BR/>Then that leads to the question of if I have an advice for aspiring young songwriters: "Get a life!"<BR/><BR/>:-)<BR/><BR/>MRKHmrkhmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05724027246990759522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676840.post-45122607694648857802008-07-29T13:29:00.000-06:002008-07-29T13:29:00.000-06:00I love it!

After spending a week in the hospital I realized that I had a scene in a book I'm working on where a character breaks his arm.
