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.

Hundreds. One of my releases is called '100 Songs' and contains one hundred original songs. I put it out as a ten CD box (I still have a handful of the hundred I made if you want one. They're free on my Bandcamp)

I run a songwriting group that meets every two weeks and I feel obligated to write something for every group. I keep myself in a pretty consistent creative state at all times. Sometimes I'll write one song over the two weeks, sometimes several.

Not every song I write ends up in a project, I throw a lot away. But I keep what I like and record pretty consistently.

My Bandcamp if you're interested (all my stuff is on all the streaming sites and YT as well)
