I completely abandoned composing at the computer

that reason. I find it quicker to experiment with everything
from melody, harmony, lyrics, modulations to form when at the
piano. Also I found that I only make good tunes when playing
and *singing* along.
I do most of my composing when I'm driving nowadays.... it must
be the only time when my brain's able to disengage and let the
melodies out. But sometimes I compose while sitting at the
piano or with a guitar or bass on my lap.
I sing any time I drive, and it really feels awesome to exercise what
I've learned in school. Alas, I'm in Philly, and I left my vehicle at
my mom's house while I'm here, so I pretty much only drive when I'm on
break. If I would just not care and sing everywhere, I'd likely be a
far better musician for it! (and have far fewer friends)
