Welcome to The Ryan Adams School of Songwriting!
actually it's pretty good advice... also don't worry if it "reads well" on paper... it has to sound great when sung by you more than anything else.

--- Quote from: DynamiteKid on 08 Feb 2010, 02:22 ---I have one major tip for budding songwriters which has always worked for me - once you start writing, finish the song, no matter how bad it gets. Then edit it later.
Having a completed piece of work to adjust and work on puts you in a far better starting place immediately than just writing a new song from scratch.

This never works for me. If I hit a wall on a song I cannot feasibly just push on through (musically or lyrically). Generally later on I'll just start to play it through with a fresh mindset or new outlook or maybe different playing style than I was in at the time of writing and that scrap of a song will end up fleshed out and finished later.
Not to undermine what DynamiteKid is saying at all, though. If his method works for you, great! However, I know it does not work for everyone.
