ABSTRACT
A song that sounds simple is just not that easy to write. —Sheryl Crow1
I don’t know what real childbirth is like, but writing songs seems as close as I’m going to come. —Billy Joel

Most writers know the frustration of staring at an empty computer screen or a blank sheet of paper, waiting for the right words to come, and public relations writers are no exception.
