I haven't been active here very long (only since December), and I have a question about the most appropriate and/or most effective approach to posting songs. I know it's important to provide feedback, first of all, although I feel very uncertain about that because I am so far away from being any kind of expert. I see feedback from others, and I just don't hear things like they do. I always think I'm going to say something totally wrong. Still, I do go ahead and give my opinions, knowing recipients are free to ignore them.
For posting my own songs, though. Is it best to post the lyrics in the "Lyrics" forum first, then go to the "...Works in Progress", and finally to "...Finished Songs"? Frankly, I'm not likely ever to get as far as finished songs, as I am no good at production, so all I have are simple songs with me strumming guitar and singing.
What I've done so far is post in lyrics if I think I still need work on the lyrics OR if I have no melody yet. And I start directly with works in progress if I want feedback on the lyrics and the melody both. Does that work okay, or should I try a different approach? Or does it not really matter?
