Surprise! This is the first extra Write You a Song podcast that is actually a full interview. Granger Smith's image is that of a good ol' country boy- he's got songs galore about pickups and dirt roads. And, of course, he's got his comic alter-ego, Earl Dibbles Jr.  But Granger is a lot more than that. He's a bright, creative, enterprising (Yee Yee Apparel) and above all honest: honest about himself, and about the music business. He's an extremely interesting guy and so, while Adam Hambrick is still the "current" December Write You a Song podcast guest (and absolutely worth the listen if you haven't yet), spend a half hour with Granger, and you'll come away with a new appreciation for his music, and even more so for the man.

This extra podcast- which I haven't done before- came about because 2 people Terry McBride talks about in the current Write You a Song podcast recently passed away since the recording of our interview. One was guitarist JT Corenflos, a long-time Nashville session player whom Terry references when talking about the song "Play Somethin' Country", and Jerry Jeff Walker, a legendary Texas country singer/songwriter Terry idolized coming up as a musician. Also, Terry remembers another legend from the Texas music scene, Billy Joe Shaver, who also passed away recently. It isn't very long. There's hardly any music mixed in. It's just Terry remembering three outstanding artists and sharing his thoughts and memories of all three.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rodney Clawson is one of the most unusual country songwriters to guest on Write You a Song. He's also one of the most successful. A farmer in Texas most of his life, songwriting was never even a consideration until one day he got a call from a friend who'd moved to Nashville. Annually, he writes about 160 songs but claims he only gets "10-12 good ideas a year". Among those good ideas: songs that have gone on to become massive hits, like May We All for Florida Georgia Line and Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean's Burnin' It Down and Amarillo Sky, Kenny Chesney's American Kids, Luke Bryan's Drunk On You and Bartender for Lady A. And that's just skimming the surface. His is one of the most unlikely songwriting success stories you'll ever hear...and that's not even counting that when he was in colleged he coached a kid named John Rich on a high school basketball team. Give it a listen and see why he says if you want to be good, sometimes you have to "dare to suck". See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2017 Singer/songwriter Brett Eldredge was at the top of his game. 5 #1 songs, several more in the top 10, a massive and entertaining presence on social media, TV appearances, Christmas albums and then .... he shut it all down. For 3 years he worked on refocusing his life and somewhere during that process, a new album started to come together, one that Brett hoped would showcase more than any other who he is and where he's from. The album is called "Sunday Drive" and it's out July 10 and on this episode of Write You a Song, Brett talks about the journey he took to make it, both figuratively and literally.

Is writing constantly dropping to the bottom of your to-list? Do you have a growing pile of half done projects? You may be holding on to myths about writing that are holding you back.   If you’re like many women I work with, you have a list of almost-done projects: revise-and-resubmits, drafts that need to be hacked out, reviews you’ve promised. You’re trying to figure out how to get through this semester, you’re trying to plan next semester, your list of to-do’s is a mile long.   “So much of our writing practice is about our beliefs about writing.”   The reality is that chaos always seems to take over, and writing projects keep dropping to the bottom of the list. Part of the reason that writing projects keep getting pushed out may be because you are holding on to one or more of these 5 writing myths. So let’s break them down, and bust them with some reality checks. Myth #1: You Need Inspiration to Write I used to wait for inspiration, or to feel ‘in the mood’ to write. That went right out the window when I had my first baby. There was never a time I felt inspired, or in the mood to write. There was hardly any time to feel anything!  Reality: You Need a System to Write You need a system, complete with a set of established practices, that you can rely on and go back to. A system gives your writing a rhythm, and it gives you a way to get back on the wagon if you fall off.   In my Academic Women’s Writing Roadmap course we teach participants to develop and establish a writing system that works, instead of waiting around for inspiration to strike. Myth #2: You Need to Work Nights and Weekends Becoming a mom blew this idea out of the water too. Getting up before the kids to get writing done sounds good, but when your kid gets up at 4am it doesn’t really pan out. And you shouldn’t have to do this to get your work done anyway! The idea of the ‘dedicated scholar’ burning the midnight oil is a decidedly male idea (who’s feeding this guy? Where are his kids?). We need to let go of the myth that we need to work at all hours to get things done.   Reality: You Need a Concrete Plan   You need to plan well to corral your activities, including writing, into a reasonable work schedule. Stacking your schedule is a great way to do this. Stacking means you put like activities together on the same day, stacked on top of each other to prevent bleeding over. I made sure to put lesson planning time on the same day as office hours and meeting with grad students, all those teaching kinds of activities stack on top of each other.   Myth #3: You Need Big Block of Time for Writing If you’ve ever been granted a sabbatical, or had some other event that loosened up your schedule, then you already know: having big blocks of time does not necessarily mean you get more writing done. Having the time doesn’t automatically mean you know what to do with it. And you don’t need it to be able to get the writing done.   Reality: You Need to Find and Use Your Tiger Time    “Tiger time” is a term coined by entrepreneur Amy Porterfield. It refers to those times when you are most focused, energetic and creative. These times will vary based on your personality, and your current life circumstances. To learn more about tiger time and how to find yours, check out Episode 2 of the podcast. You’ll get much more quality writing done during your tiger time then during (potentially non-existent) big blocks outside your tiger time. Myth #4: You’re Too Busy to Write This is not a total myth...in all likelihood, you are too busy, and should probably drop a few things off your plate. But, you are not too busy to get writing done.    Reality: Your Activities Are Not Aligned   Sometimes we feel even busier than we are because our activities are not in alignment. The answer is to find a focus for our careers and to align all of our activities behind that focus.    In the Academic Women’s Writing Roadmap course, we walk participants through a step-by-step plan for how to align everything in their careers behind a personal academic mission statement. We teach a structure for decision-making, and how to implement a timeline for finishing or quitting projects. These steps are the key to stop feeling like you are pulled in a thousand directions, and finding the time to write.   “To feel less frazzled, you need to make your activities more cohesive.” Myth #5: You Don’t Have Enough Time to Write I get it! I spent a lot of time spinning my wheels and feeling like I never had enough time. Academic women have full plates, and lots of competing demands on our time.  Reality: There Are More Important Factors Than Time   I’ve learned that intentional focus, pre-planning, and aligning activities are more important than the quantity of time you have. I’ve learned how to manage these things through trial-and-error, but you don’t have to! You can go from freaked out to 5-year plan with me. We teach time management, focus, planning, and mindset in The Academic Women’s Writing Roadmap program. Registration opens May 1st!

He calls himself a "certified weirdo", and while, yes, that might be true, Chris Janson is also, without a doubt, a certified musical genius: at age NINE he learned to play music in less than a week... and he's been doing it ever since. He's written some pretty huge songs, too, including "I Love This Life" for Locash and "How I'll Always Be" for Tim McGraw...as well as "Buy Me a Boat" and "Drunk Girl" (among others) for himself. He's one of the youngest members of the Grand Ol' Opry ever...and his career is, really, just getting started.

Noah Efron, Allison Kaplan Sommer, and Bradley Burston discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.   This week's extra segment is available to our patrons on www.patreon.com/promisedpodcast   Gaza: A Moment Before Israeli politicians and military brass have begun sounding the alarm about the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, where electricity is available for four to eight hours a day and where municipal services are being cut in half. While the military threat form Gaza appears containable, it is less clear that Israel can contain the ramifications of a total humanitarian collapse in Gaza. How can and should Israel act to forestall or prevent the humanitarian crisis that is about to swallow Gaza whole?   Show Me a Hero (and I’ll Write You a Tragedy) Mizrahi journalists and activists, are calling for the name of journalist Aryeh Gelblum name to be stripped from a cul-de-sac, which was named after him after his death in 1991. That's because wrote that immigrants from Arab and North African lands possessed a "superlative primitiveness." Should Israel purge the names of those who described Mizrahi Jews as ignorant from the public sphere?   Judaism: The Theme Park A massive new project is being planned for the relatively remote Israeli city of Dimona: the "Park of Wonders", a theme park based on Judaism. “The park will have the same rides and the same layout [as Disney World] but with content,” the project's CEO says. What, if anything, does it say about the place of Judaism in Israel, in Zionism, in the hearts and minds of Jews, in the 21st century?   Music: Omer Adam, in honor of this week selling out his May 24 concert Sami Ofer Stadium in Haifa, in less than 3 hours (including 40,000 folks signing up for the waiting list): Aharei kol ha-shanim itach  Mahapecha shel simha (with Lior Narkis) Az halachti  Matzati ba-Aron
