I just wrote an article called: A crash course in song writing. It's really worth a read if you're getting started. Check it out at: http://musicouch.com/instruments/string/guitar/song-writing-a-crash-course-in-what-and-what-not-to-do/

It's great to see someone writing about songwriting, so hats off to you for getting off your arse and putting pen to paper.

I won't pretend I agree with every suggestion in your article, but that's ok - we all have different ideas and priorities when it comes to songwriting.  I don't doubt it will encourage the less experienced among us to keep at it.

Good stuff
