Just wanted to say....

...From what I've read so far of your methods it all rings true to me.
I think you know what you're talking about and have revealed what, as an intermediate lyricist of many years with a couple of collabs under my belt, I could only sense but couldn't put into words or conscious practice.
You display a tremendous amount of self-introspection in the writing process and I feel lucky you were able to put this down on paper for your fellow lyricists. Thank you.
