WRITING SOLO
Phil, I do understand your delima about writing alone. In isolated areas it is often hard to find someone to link up with. But it really is hard to understand why you have been able to find "nobody" in that area. Have you ever tried something like Facebook, or some other social media source? Are their magazines or web sites like The Nashville Scene in that area that feature local resturants, bars, music listings?
I thought I had met someone and tried to hook you up with them once. Did that ever come together?

But the "solo" writing is something we all have to do at one time or another. To me it is just always supremely boring. I look at songwriting as a jigsaw puzzle and a challenge. I is doubled when you find someone else's experiences to share with your own. Makes the songs more realistic and to me, makes them better.
Talking about visiting publishers and them saying to "write solo" is something that I have not heard of for many years. Now the question is more "who are you writing with?" because they are looking for someone who has the chance of getting a record deal, which is everything in the business. They tend to look more for artist/writers than artists.
But you should write solo or whatever you have to do to keep active and rolling along. Whatever works.

Glad to see you posting.
I do hope you find someone to help you along.
