Writer's Block

So I need 3 new original songs by, or more preferably; before, 3 weeks from now.

It's not my record label pushing me, it's the writer's convention, recently formed by Josh Burke, Keilan Chreech, Ben Cartwright, and myself. We set a deadline for ourselves that by that time next month, or the next time we meet, we would have 3 new songs to share. It is a way of promoting and encouraging song writing and whatnot, and it seems to be working.

The problem is, however, I've never been able to write songs, let alone 3 in a month's time (nothing worth listening to, anyway). I want deep, rich, thought-provoking lyrics, sung with a memorable melody, all placed on top of a catchy riff and hook. And, yes, I am aware that I just stated what every musician desires, but it's all true.

Anyway, I can't seem to get anything down. I have a few riffs that I'd like to think are catchy, but when it comes to melodies and lyrics, I go blank.

So that's where I'm at. Any insightful wisdom or encouraging words are welcome. Who knows, maybe I'll use them in a song.
