The Songwriter’s Diary by Greg Rice

The Songwriter’s Diary is more than a simple manuscript book—it’s a thoughtfully designed creative space for every musician who wants to capture both melody and meaning without losing the spark of inspiration. Created by Greg Rice, The Songwriter’s Diary blends the classic functionality of blank sheet music with the freedom of a lyric journal, offering an elegant way to document your musical ideas from the first riff to the final chorus.

Each left-hand page features eleven blank staves with no pre-printed clefs, giving you complete flexibility whether you’re writing for piano, guitar, strings, or voice. On the right-hand side, you’ll find lined notebook paper with contemporary spacing—perfect for lyrics, song concepts, chord charts, production notes, rhymes, or even quick sketches of arrangement ideas. This alternating layout keeps your workflow smooth and intuitive as you move between notation and narrative.

With 160 pages, The Songwriter’s Diary has room for full projects, EP cycles, writing retreats, or an entire season of worship planning. The format makes it easy to add page numbers, topics, sections, and working titles, so you can develop multiple songs in parallel and find your place instantly. Whether you’re a seasoned composer or just beginning to write, the balance of structure and freedom makes this notebook feel like a dependable co-writer.

What sets The Songwriter’s Diary apart is its usability in real-life creative environments—rehearsals, studios, coffee shops, green rooms, and church stages. The clean page design invites you to capture ideas the moment they arrive, so melodies don’t vanish and lyric lines don’t fade. If you’ve ever jotted a hook on a napkin or scrambled a voice memo at midnight, this book is your upgrade: a single, elegant place where your music and your words live together.

Perfect for: songwriters, worship leaders, music students, producers, and composers who want a modern, flexible way to document both notation and lyrics—without switching notebooks or apps mid-idea.
