5 Things I Haven’t Written, But Would Like To

Ever since I made the decision several years ago to start taking my writing more seriously, I’ve managed to have written quite a number of projects since then. I’ve written novels, short fiction, plays, films, and the occasional poem or two.

Songwriting is something I’ve been interested in for quite some time now.  Already I’m able to adapt and write in a wide variety of forms (such as novel writing, short story writing, journalism-based writing, poetry, etc.).  I’ve always been told that if you can write poetry, then one can just as well pick up on songwriting.  That and the fact that I do have a bit of a background in music makes it a bit easier too.
