Do I need an account to use it?
You can roll the word generator for songs dice and change the Mood, Structure, Style and Language settings without signing in, which is enough for a daily word draw. Generating a full lyric draft is different: the Generate button opens a sign-in window when you are logged out, and new users get free credits after a quick sign-up. For most challenge days the dice and a notebook are all you need, and you only sign in when you want a draft to compare.
Can I use the songs I write from a seed?
Lines you write by hand from a song word generator seed are your own writing. If you also turn the lyrics into finished songs on OpenMusic, monthly and annual plans include commercial rights, subject to the Commercial License. Free users download a limited number of songs, while paid plans download MP3, WAV and FLAC. Keep the brief, your circled words and your drafts together in one folder for each challenge day, so you can see later how each song grew.
Can I get seeds in other languages?
For the word generator for songs, the Language menu covers ten languages: English, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Vietnamese. The briefs we rolled came out in English, so set the Language before you generate if you want a draft in another one. Writers working in a second language often find a brief easier than a blank page, because it hands them concrete nouns and scenes to build each line around.
How long should a daily draw take?
With a word song generator, fifteen minutes is enough on a busy day: one minute to roll and read the brief, two minutes to circle five words, ten minutes to write four lines by hand and a couple of minutes to note what to try tomorrow. On a longer day, keep the same seed and add a chorus or a bridge instead of rolling again. Staying with one brief for several sessions often produces a more finished song than starting fresh every time.
