1. Feeling like you need to know everything about music and the English language.
2. Listening to the radio and thinking this:
3. If you're pitching your songs to other artists, trying to embody that performer.
4. If you're a self-contained singer-songwriter, doing everything.
5. Sometimes wishing your instrument of choice weren't so heavy.
6. Having tons of alternate lyrics for a single verse.
7. Everyone in your apartment loving you.
8. Inspiration hitting when you're away from pen / paper / anything.
9. Sometimes feeling that you're only able to write music when you're sad.
10. THIS:
Beautiful day...time to spend it locked inside a windowless studio recording music. Goodbye sunshine, hello productivity
