For the word dream: imagine. creativity. Nightmare. Fun. Happiness. Love. Asleep. Unicorns. Mermaids. Magic. Cats. Taylor swift's house and Billie eilish is there.
Ghost writer for Billie eilish "bad guy": so you're a nerd guy.
Like your eggs warmed up guy.
Just can't (didn't get to finish)
Stream of consciousness: hi. I'm a potato. Ok. I'm annoying. Yes. I admit it. I hate sausage. I LOVE bacon! I cant think of ANYTHING right now. I feel like this is me as a 5 year old writing in my diary. This is how u wrote in my diary when I was 5. I just wrote whatever came to my mind. Potatoes. Ok. Yes. I am VERY annoying. I love my car and my brother's cat. Cheese sauce is good. So is cheese whiz. Ok.
Rhyme it (word: floor): door. Roar. Soar. Bore. More. Chore. Sore. Poor. Tour. Four. Core. Or. Before.

This is a video of substance. Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for this!

This was helpful for lyrics, poetry and descriptive writing plus your voice was quite inviting, the limited timing made it exciting and now I can't stop rhyming. Thanks.

This is the best approach I’ve seen so far. Thank you

Heres mine, its called perfect
I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight

You look alot like Colleen Ballinger. Wow. Imma watch this. I need tips on songwriting. I'm good singer, but I'm sad how my songs come so terribly worded. I have nothing to write about.

My least favourite thing about the second exercise is that it shows me how shit my writing is, which is also my favourite thing

picture this:
fire
song title:
flames of the fire
Chorus:
i see the flames of the fire
the fire wont kill me,
the red and orange and yellow flames,
dance around in the night sky,
i see the flames of the fire
it looks so nice,
on the sand of the beach,
with the waves in the backround,
i see the flames of the fire,
with its burning sound,
i lighted it earlier
its gonna burn all night
i see the flames of the fire
the fire wont kill me
i see the flames of the fire.

memory lane:
Ist day of sats
I was at school because I was forced to be there. I was in a school breakfast club. i ate a bagel. i drank orange juice. i was upstairs to revise. i revised spelling and grammar. i thought it was boring. we started the ist test. the questions were hard. i answered them all. my pencil fell on the floor and i picked it up. at the end we got sweets. We had a break. We done a spelling test. our teacher shouted at a student for making jokes. we finished the test.

ghost writer:
never really over by katy perry:
Two years, and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done, but I
Guess it’s never really over
Oh, we were such a mess
But wasn't it the best?
Thought it was done, but I
Guess it's never really over
three days and not like that
my mind never takes me back
i knew it finished, but i dont
guess its always nearly over
oh we were such a dream
but it really was the best ever?
i knew it finished but i dont
guess its always nearly over.
