Q: I kinda took from it that I should just do stuff and there is no heuristic I should follow. That being the intent or not, thank you for your response! Do you have any heuristics you tend to follow when finding chords for your songs or are you more guided by how the chords make you feel?
A: i have no idea what the word heuristic means..... ok i just looked it up and i still don't know what it means. but the thing about writing, and a lot of writers tend to say this: writing is total magic and none of us actually know how it happens. and most of the time, the best writing happens when the writer does not even seem to be in control. whether that helps or not, it's the truth as far as i can tell
