How will a song hit?
- There must be a good text. The current everyday or just a new topic. A new perspective, a new insight. But there are more chances when the song is going to work on the new subject. You need a beautiful melody. There is a need for a good singer who is a good performer. Then the audience and the fan club will be who will give an opinion. In general, the audience decides which song will be hit. If my work is good and if the music is good,
then there is a chance that the song should be a hit.

Can you develop the science of writing?
- In my opinion, the good writer who can write anything. This is true for every professional area. For poetry, song lyrics, short stories or adverts. How does this look like this? If they drop a cup of coffee, a pencil , a key, or anything else on the table, they can write anything in the foreseeable future. Verse, story, novel, or just advertising text. Profession starts here. A pro is able to see a pyramid in a stone or the sea in a glass of water. Yes, I think it is possible to improve writing skills. Creativity development exercises. There are many ways to train creativity. And you have to train. There is no writing or creation without creativity. Without creation there is no future!
