#rewrite

There's this notion that allows people to create their own collection of songs, so it rewrites what a song is. They may only want 10 seconds of something, or they may only want this particular song, or they want this group of songs. It becomes much more user-controlled. ↗

You have to write badly to write at all. If it's crappy, I will rewrite it later. But it will be mine. You can hear the resonance of an artist who goes into herself. ↗

As soon as I started writing, other writers stopped wanting me acting in their shows - maybe they thought I was going to rewrite them. ↗
