How to Write (and Finish) Lyrics for Every Song

Live Online Workshop – Song Mapping

Stuck in “second verse hell”? You’re not alone.

Every songwriter knows the feeling:

• You’ve got a strong chorus… but the verses stall out.

• You’ve got one killer verse… but can’t find where the song should go next.

• You’ve got a notebook full of fragments, hooks, and half-songs… but few that make it all the way to the finish line.

That’s where Song Mapping comes in.

What is Song Mapping?

Song Mapping is a powerful lyric-writing tool that gives you a repeatable framework for developing any idea into a complete, compelling song.

Instead of staring at the page, hoping for lightning to strike, Song Mapping shows you:

• How to take a single title, hook, or first verse and expand it naturally into full lyric sections.

• How to avoid getting trapped repeating the same images, emotions, or lines.

• How to escalate your song so each new section feels fresh but connected.

• How to finish songs consistently—without losing the magic of inspiration.

Think of it as GPS for your lyrics: no more wandering, no more dead ends.

Who’s it for?

This workshop is for you if:

• You’ve got a stack of unfinished songs (and the guilt that comes with them).

• You constantly ask yourself, “Where do I go from here?” after the first chorus.

• You’re ready for tools that work across any style or genre.

• You want to write with confidence—and actually finish what you start.

Whether you’re brand new to songwriting or you’ve been at it for years, Song Mapping will give you a clear path forward every time.
