This week, I’d love for each of us to take a look at some things that we have to be thankful for as songwriters. Let’s get to the good stuff!
Be thankful that we (live in a country where we’re free to chase this crazy dream!
Be thankful that it’s a great time to learn the art, craft and business of songwriting. Between podcasts, YouTube, blogs and other resources, there is a wealth of information out there for us.
Be thankful that we can cowrite remotely. Skype, Google Hangouts and other platforms mean we don’t have to live in New York, LA, or Nashville to write with other songwriters.
Be thankful for online communities where you can meet cowriters, support others, and be supported by other songwriters. (By the way, Songwriting Pro and The C.L.I.M.B. both have Facebook groups you can join…)
On a personal level…
I’m thankful for each of my current cowriters who believe in my talent and abilities. And I love that they let me hang out with them and enjoy their talents.
I’m thankful for the Songwriting Pro community- for each of you who comment on blog posts or share them. I’m also thankful for the cool songwriters I’ve met through workshops and coaching. Ya’ll are awesome!
I’m thankful for the listeners of The CLIMB. I love reading the iTunes reviews and emails Johnny and I get from all of you awesome Climbers out there!
I’m thankful for Ruthie Collins (Curb), Joe Nichols (Red Bow), Benton Blount (America’s Got Talent) and James Dupre’ (The Voice) and others who have recorded one or more of my songs for their current albums. Ya’ll make my words sound SO good!
I’m thankful for each and every person who has cranked up, downloaded, purchased, streamed or sang along with one of my songs this year! THANK YOU!
What about you? What are YOU thankful for? I’d love to read your comments!

I’m thankful you’re so willing to share your wisdom and expertise in songwriting. It has made me a much better songwriter.
And I’m always thankful I get another day of this wonderful journey we call life.
I am thankful for having the opportunity to express by creativity through songwriting. Thankful for having a very supportive husband who encourages me to pursue my dream. Thankful for awesome cowriters. Thankful that I got my first royalty check this year. Thankful for awesome resources for songwriters like the Man vs Row/Songwriting Pro blog. Happy Thanksgiving Brent.
