Since a lot of people on pages like these and others tend to challenge the processes of co-writing, having certain disciplines, time frames, structure and adhering to certain formulas, and view it as sacrilidge, and often tie it to the all hated "Nashville forumula process", I was interested when someone posted this on my other forum.

It is from the UK, and talks about some of the processes their hit writers employ which to be honest, sound very familiar to me.

As I always say, different people have different habits, different approaches that work. In my experience, these particular types of formulas, have worked throughout history more times than not among professional songwriters.

Just thought it was interesting. My thanks to Yanncarest, from France, for letting me see it. Hope it helps some of you.
