Ep 2: Take The First Step: Songwriting and Taking Chances with Elena Jones

This week I sat down with Elena Jones, a singer/songwriter in Nashville who truly lights up every room she walks into. We discuss her songwriting process, moving to Nashville, and the crazy story behind her first co-write. Elena manages to juggle a full-time job, several writing sessions a week, and does it all showing up 100%. We hear about setting yourself up for success for your day ahead and jumping into things maybe even before you feel fully ready. Your days make up your life and Elena makes the most of every single one. @elena.jones.musicSources:Pattison, Pat. Writing Better Lyrics. Cincinnati, Ohio: Writer's Digest Books, 2009.Rubin, Rick.
