Both! When you're cowriting with other people, there is an element of you have to sit down and write a song no matter if you're feeling inspired or not. But when I'm writing by myself, I'm always trying to find things, whether its books, TV shows, or words on pinterest I've found to inspire me!

It's a fine line though because there is beauty in the discipline of making yourself write even when you don't feel creative, but I've found if I force myself to write too much when I'm not feeling it, it leads to feelings of self doubt and burn out. But like anything, it's not black and white, and both are skills to nurture!
