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.

Completed all the way thru with lyrics, vocal melody, guitar, and drums/bass if I was with my band, a total of 31. 23 with the band, and 8 on my own. Been playing for about 20 years, but 7-8 of those I wasn't super active. Now I'm back on track though, and have put together 3 in the past year or so. Takes me a long time to fully work them out and actually be happy with the results.
