Guys, voting for yourselves is lame and disrespectful to the other writers on the forums. I'm going with Derek.
I voted for Will. I can relate to many of his songs, and they all tell a sort of a story, which is a good quality for me when finding a good song.
A good writer is not someone who knows they are the best around. A true writer is someone who knows when they are good yet knows when to give props to writers other then themselves. That in my mind is a good writer. You two people who voted for yourselves? Are terrible writers for that exact reason. It is extremely lame and self centered to vote for yourselves. This is to honor who you think is the best writer, not to give yourselves a bigger ego. Which is why I think you guys should be respectful and chose another writer other then yourselves for once. I choose Will because he pours out all his emotion into his writings, and I know for myself thats the case because alot of his songs were about a girl he likes. It's f*cked up she doesn't feel the same and because things have to be this way, I wish him more luck then he can ever imagine. He can find someone better, I know he can. Keep your head up Will! You'll get that girl of your dreams someday. Take it from me, I cried my eyes out for day after day because I never thought I'd find a girl like Katie ever again. I was convinced she was the best I could ever have. (Deja Vu? You think Connie is the best you could ever have) And then along came Brianna, a girl 10x's better then Katie. Someone who's already done more for me that Katie ever could. What I'm saying is, no matter how much you love this girl, dont get so bent up about Connie. I'm sure there's a girl just as good as her if not better waiting for you in your future.
I think both Derek and Will excel at their own types of writing. I've seen some of Derek's revisions of songs, and they are amazing. Will, is great also ( I haven't read as many of his works, but I hope to find some time to soon). I hold my vote until I read some more...
well, it was really hard 4 me, because i couldnt choose between will or derek (who are really talented @ writing btw), but i picked will in the end. all of the choices were good though.
why should I vote...everybody on this board is awesome in their work, myself included...and everybody has their own opinions in what they say and do
Most definately Will. Not to say that the others can't write. Just the way Will writes his stuff - it entrances you. He has a talent and I wouldn't be surprised to see him as an Emcee one day.
