John Most writers worldwide are solo writers. They are only into themselves. When you say "maybe it's me". you could have a point. Maybe you are not writing what they are interested in.

Apart from one person , they didnt seem to have any idea what they want from co writing.. Did they want to literally cowrite, or work on a partial lyric, work on an idea, provide lyric only provide melody only . NONE seemed to have any ferkin idea how they wanted to work and to the best of my knowledge that is as far as they went.
The one person had so many personal issue at the time, trying to get them to make a writing appointment proved to be all but impossible and got so wrapped in technicalities of "The theory of Songwriting" it was almost impossible to move forward and get it down on paper.
Maybe it is me..
My MO is..
one needs to get it ALL relative ideas down on paper, work out what it is really about , edit to suit then a series of checks to make sure it makes sense, is repeatable, has its own rythym ,then add sound and /or percussion and see if it still makes sense, is memorable and repeatable . Then maybe , just maybe there is something there that could fly as a song (and would probably still needs work)
Not bitching just saying so I decided I would do my own thing my own way
