Welcome to my brand new official website, and my brand new website’s blog! This blog will cover my thoughts on many different topics- mainly within the realm of composing, lyric writing, playwriting, and, on occasion, my personal thoughts and opinions on happenings within the worlds of music and theatre. I hope whatever I call “knowledge” will aid you in some way, or, at the very least, occupy your thoughts for a moment.
What exactly am I talking about, though? What sort of blog posts should you expect to encounter? A few examples are:
- The I Want Song
- Perfect Rhymes vs. Near Rhymes
- World Building Within Songs
- The Lyricist vs. The Character
None of these are original topics by any means, and have been explored by everyone from middle schoolers in class papers to Tony Award recipients. I aim to provide my personal view (which I hope is unique enough to warrant a read) on these matters, as well as my personal experience with these topics as a writer. Of course, all opinions and thoughts are my own and you’re welcome, if not encouraged, to disagree.
All that being said, I want to welcome you once again to my website, and my first attempt at a blog of any kind. Follow along on my social media for updates, and thank you for taking the time to read this!
