SOMETIMES WRITERS GET INVITED to do things they have only dreamed about. I once dreamed about writing and publishing songs, and spent my teens at the piano composing music and writing lyrics. It was heady, but the pursuit got left behind for a different medium. Until now. When the invitation came in from a Nashville recording artist to write some lyrics, I was thrilled, but never more thrilled than I am right now to introduce you to the song, just out, from Rusty Gear called “Say it With Words,” co-written with me.
I think it is the theme song for writers everywhere. See if you agree.
Listen to it here (just hover over middle of the photo and then click on the arrow that appears) and then please go grab it on your favorite music platform and sing along and share. After all, it’s about coming together through the power of language.

Jo Ann Poll says
Congrats, Marion! I am credited & copyrighted as the lyricist for the 4th movement of a commissioned choral work that was initially performed last week. Am I due future payments/royalties if I do not have a split agreement with the composer? Do you have such an agreement in place?
marion says
Dear Jo Ann,
I would not pretend to give you advice on this.
We have an agreement about our shared product.
Good luck with yours.
Best,
Marion

Thanks, Joan.
I find that thinking about cooking, gardening, knitting, writing, music and all else equally, and as part of a creative life, greatly aids me in enjoying them all.
Wishing you the same.
