Make sure it makes sense
After you finish a response, reread it from the perspective of a stranger. Be sure to include enough context, so your artist understands what you’ve shared. Make it extra clear by including pronunciations, too.

Avoid making a list
Without context, a list of random places, dates and things could end up sounding like one of those goofy parody songs. If you only say, “Pepperoni, Pineapple, and Sausage,” that could be your go-to pizza order or the names of your three dogs. Context is key.

Include descriptive details
“I remember the crackling sound of the fire while sleeping under the stars” hits different than “We went camping.” Think about all of the senses, and give your artist a peek into what your memories feel like.
