Quick sketch workflow
- Put the idea in your notebook — 1 sentence.
- Record a short voice memo (20–40s).
- Jot chord progression (if any).
- Add a hook lyric line.
- Mark the mood: tempo, key, feel.
Example
- Notebook snapshot: Verse idea about morning coffee
- Chords: Am — F — C — G
- Hook line: "Sunlight in my coffee cup"
Keep sketches short and revisit weekly.
