Q: this is a more general question about writing, not necessarily lyrics, but any form of creative piece. when you are stuck on a part, how do you get rid of or work around the writers block?  i feel like anytime i really get into any personal projects that involve words, i end up stopping because of writers block and never return to it again, no matter how much i previously liked it
A: basically what you want to do is open up the project and then act so calm and natural that the project eventually forgets you are there. the writing doesn't want to happen if it feels like it's being watched. it wants to be able to blow your mind, and surprise you, which is really difficult for it to do if you're staring directly at it. but if you open up the project and act naturally next to it, EVENTUALLY the project will calm down and forget you're there, and then the whole thing starts writing itself
