Mine has really, really, really come on. I don't consider myself an excellent writer by any standarRAB, but in comparison to when I started (my third post here was in S&L) I'm like a completely different writer.


I'll edit in a few songs I've posted over the 21 months I've been here in a second.


Home - My first song on here (yes, I edited it today to clean up an annoying habit of lengthening the vowels where I wanted to hold a note (ie: aaaaaaaaaand nooooow) - it's not as awful as I remember, but it's still n00bilicious.


Sunup Over Main Street - Posted November '04, I'd been experimenting with imagery, and decided to use it as part of a set of six inter-linked songs I was writing. This was the third, and was probably the best of the lot, with me going too far in the later songs to the point of being downright pretentious. :upset:


Fatale - This was probably the point where I was writing my most imagery-heavy stuff (March '05). It's coincidentally some of the writing I'm least fond of.


1200cc Romance - My first (and probably only) foray into the murky depths of poetry. Once again, overly heavy on imagery. I didn't write again for 2 months after this. :-\


Cocente - One of my most recent pieces (Jan '06), this is a return to the sort of writing I enjoy the most - plenty of imagery, but remaining accessible (or at least, that's what I aim for).


Reading the first and last pieces, it's quite scary how much my writing style has changed in such a short time, particularly when it's been influenced more or less entirely by what I've read on this forum, be it critiques or others' songs.


Nice topic, Tojes :)
