I've noticed something since I took up songwriting: people seem to be more interested in me.
Which is intriguing, since I generally don't like a lot of attention.
I get why they're interested: people love music. But people who basically said "That's nice" when I said I was a photographer now perk up when I say I'm a songwriter.
It's almost like my social status has shot through the roof. People are more likely to suggest meeting up for coffee, or drinks. And people who never seemed to particularly like me suddenly want to ask me questions about myself.
If you want to feel like a celebrity, or "win friends and influence people," mention that you're a songwriter in an elevator conversation.
But try not to let the attention go to your head. Gotta pretend to be humble!!!
