I present to you another installment of Paul McCartney finds a way to mention John Lennon even though he wasn’t asked about him
Mogi on Facebook: How do you deal with writers' block?
Paul: I don't really get it. I'm quite lucky with that - touch wood! I hardly ever sit down and go, I'm going to write. It's nearly always when I've got some time and there's nothing else I particularly want or need to do. I can just sit down and noodle around with something because it's come from my own desire and not somebody else's, or of a requirement. It often comes reasonably easy.
Sometimes I might block out the words in order to get the tune and shape of the song and then think, 'God, they're bloody awful those words, I'll have to fix them!' Then I'll revisit them and get some great lyrics, and that's always a good feeling. So, I don't really have writer's block. I've been blessed with that.
I sometimes tell the story of John and I having written just short of three hundred songs, and every time we sat down to write we came up with a song. Which is incredible!
