The Transition from Personal to Professional

Being a Studio Composition Major at Purchase College is harder than I anticipated. As an adolescent I always wrote songs because I needed to. Someone would piss me off or hurt my feelings and I would go home and write a song about the experience. Things have changed a lot since then. Now that I am studying songwriting as a real profession my approach to writing has totally changed. I am not as prolific as I once was because I am thinking too hard! 
I always used to say that I wanted to transition from being an emotional songwriter to a writer that could write about ANYTHING. I am transitioning, but very very slowly.
