Do you feel that all the writing you did while you weren't producing any music payed of in the end?
it's not the end yet, but i have benefited wildly from that time. a large percentage of the song material that was recorded from 2014 thru the present, is taken from those times, but aside from that, my songwriting skills were escalated, elevated, solidified, rounded out, tested, and then escalated even more, time and time again during that period
