I create my own schedule, so you start out each day and you say, Okay, from 10 to 11 I'm going to write, and on the dot at 10, I went downstairs, got dressed like I was going to work, and at 11 I stopped. I don't know why, what kind of wizardry about that worked, but having the structure for a month, I was dishing out songs.
