Another great guest author brought to you by How to Make a Cigar Box Guitar

For many years, professional/top writers have been using a powerful and proven technique that separates them from beginners.

And now, I'd like to share this secret technique with you.

As promised here is step 3, If you follow the 3 steps consistently you'll notice a big improvement in your songwriting:


3. Let it go. Think or do something else...anything else.

In other words, "trust" your subconscious mind to deliver...by getting out of its way.

This is a crucial step. In fact, this is the key to this technique's effectiveness. Without honestly applying this step, you will not get the positive results you're after.

** This is really great information for all aspiring cigar box guitar makers!

What you do is you simply "allow" your subconscious mind to carry out your instructions... without questioning it... without interfering in any way.

In other words, you take your mind off the song by taking a short break...or even a nap. Or you sleep on it...and work on it the next day (the truth is, some writers take days or weeks off before actually writing). Basically, you want to give your subconscious mind enough time to work on what you've instructed it to do. (Many creative people call this the "incubation" phase of the creative process.)

When you do this, you'll notice that when you sit down to actually start writing, thoughts or ideas come to you more naturally...and in a more organized way. You'll notice a better flow to your writing overall. (This is because your subconscious mind has done a lot of the work for you...in the background...while you were busy doing other things...or while you were sleeping.)

(If you're a composer, melodic or musical ideas will naturally come to you...and sometimes it will happen when you least expect it. That's why it's a good idea to always have a tape recorder or digital voice recorder handy...so you can sing the melody and record it.)

And what's the end result of applying the above 3 steps (after all the editing)?

A powerfully moving song and a more inspired cigar box guitar maker!
