Hi Everett, thank you so much for responding....and congratulations on all the stepping stones...you've been leaping on lately.

hmmmmm...yes, I could take the melody and write or have other words written to it.....
(if that is allowed...being it is in at least 5 different places on the net showing
copyright notation).....and just walk away from it........
The time and effort, I put into it....
are secondary ...as I throw myself 100% into every melody I write....and go into collaborations..with the attitude that just because I think something is nice and fitting....the collaborator might not...and boy I certainly think I say that
a LOT in communicating...It is not a problem...they can let me know...& I can attempt another one...&/or....if IT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS....the collaboration can dissolve if need be..........But this situation is different, we weren't in the middle of a collaboration, the gal/guy stated how much she/he loved it , can't thank me enough...and then
puts it on his /her..own private radio playlist..to share with others...and then..... A Month later..( I was wrong....I finished it in June not May.)writes me and says.. I'm sorry but I would like my song back...

I've grown in confidence to accept.....what I write may not tickle someone's fancy. and that some co-writes do not work..that's not a lose lose situation for me anymore....I don't ever even let someone hear anything I've written till I'm happy to put my name on it.....so I still end up with a melody....even if i'm the only one in the world who likes it..<G>....

uh oh..i rambled again.....

thanks Everitt for coming by and giving me your thoughts.....Don't be afraid to co-write though..... I have had many beautiful people write with me.........and hope to continue to....

best to you.....
Kaley
