Songwriter vs. Performer
While some are gifted performers, and do not write music at all. Others are blessed with each talent equally more or less. And then there are some that just write music. I work on melodies as a painter would paint a picture or a sculptor would carve out his work. This is the way I enjoy music, and I recognize that this is where my particular talent in music lies. Music that I create is one feeling conveyed to the best of my ability, typically in a single afternoon.
Performing it would be to recall that feeling, play it at my best, and move on to the next number all within a span of 3-5 minutes. I find that near impossible to do personally, but certainly admire others that can do it effortlessly. And that is why I am more of a songwriter than a performer when it comes to music.
