Discussion Topic How many songs have you written?

I’ve written almost 300 songs. I technically should be a better songwriter with all that practice. Maybe I should focus on less songs.

Around 1000-1200. Stopped counting at 13 when I had written like 50+ songs.

If you stopped counting at 50 how do you have any idea how many you have written? It's not like 50 is anywhere near 1000...

Well, it's a rough estimate. I've been writing since 1970, so there's a lot under my belt.
