Looks like I've missed pages 1-42. i don't have time to read all the posts, but I read the last few pages up until page 43 
Great advice from you MAB and John. I am really getting better at imagining my song writing as a movie scene. Great advice about watching movies and news pieces and thinking in this way too. And great advice, MAB regarding the "Why?" element of the story. And WHY I am writing a song and WHY should most people be interested in it. New job starts tomorrow, business plus house-hunting is keeping me super busy! But I will pop back on here whenever I can. Thanks again all for the fab advice!
