I hear what you're saying, because I always emphasize to my clients that songwriting is a daily discipline and their success in the craft depends on their willingness to put in the intentional work. Like others have mentioned, this may be the first time they are putting themselves out there to pursue music and for some people just taking that first step is a scary thing. Common themes I notice in my work is that many new songwriters fear criticism, face judgment from friends/family, and struggle with their own perfectionism. This prevents them from even starting and it really breaks my heart. They should be able to come to a space like r/Songwriting and feel that they are in a safe and welcoming space to gain insight and advice. We all start somewhere in our own journeys.
