Writing Rules For MyWeek
Topics should be chosen that relate to San Diego’s music scene.
Articles should be at least 250 words in length. Consider breaking longer articles (over 2500 words) into parts 1, 2, 3, etc.
Please do not use profanity. It will be blocked.
Suggestions include:
* Local CD and show reviews
* Lists – Top 7’s (it’s MyWeek after all…), show recommendations, instruments, etc.
* Opinion pieces
* Technical pieces (songwriting, teaching, how-to’s, musicianship, equipment evaluations, etc…)
* Fan pieces
Please be as thorough as possible when giving names, addresses and contact information.
Cite and/or quote source information, giving credit to where and whom you acquired the info. This is simple ethics and the right thing to do.
VERY IMPORTANT: Have a good time and give it your best shot!

Congratulations Dok. I am liking what I see here.
hm
what’s so magical about songwriting is that it’s such a unique process for each songwriter and for each song! great article, scott! i laughed (at myself) at the mention of a metronome, as i am somewhat beat-deaf (a spin on tone-deafness)…
i love that this online mag is coming back to life! yea dr. dave!
Fascinating topic – as someone who took music lessons for years, and has written about music for many more, I still see nothing but a blank nothingness when I think about what it would be like to write a song. Probably why I admire folks like Scott who have the gift.
Oh well, maybe 2010…
