Question Technique

Starters

Instead of a statement, start with a question. A question opens space — it doesn't close it.

Write a question you don't know the answer to. The question is the entry — the answer is the song.

A question creates tension — and tension wants resolution. The listener (and you) wants to know the answer.

'What's Going On' (Marvin Gaye) — the whole song is one big question.
