Award-winning country singer and songwriter Lucinda Williams was interviewed in the Feb/Mar 2009 issue of Garden & Gun. She grew up with a father who also wrote.
Here's what she had to say about his influence:
"Dad stressed the importance of the economics of writing. Clean it up, edit, edit, revise. Above all, the listener whouls be able to understand the poem or the song and not be forced to unravel a complicated, self-indulgent puzzle. Offer your art up to the whole world, not just an elite few."
I think that is good advice for all writers.
