Heather Miller - Journal Entries For Crosswalk.com

The process for [my new CD] Send Me An Angel all began with me wanting to do a record that came from my heart, with the style of music that I enjoyed. I knew in my mind what I wanted, but I just had to find a way to write it down and express it to others.

Even though this was my first venture into writing, I never expected to feel so vulnerable as I put into words and music my personal goals, struggles and feelings.

I vividly remember the first time I played a few of my songs for Frank Chimento, executive vice president for KMG Records. I have to admit I was a little nervous to see what he thought. But I was thrilled at his response. He loved the songs! That gave me added confidence as I continued to write for Send Me An Angel.

I also had the wonderful opportunity to write with some of the industry's top songwriters including; John Mandeville, Chad Chapin and my producers from Breaking Productions Pete Stewart and Michael Tait. I'm definitely a better writer today because of them!


This is the day I first played my new songs for an audience during Provident's sales conference. It was awesome!


I had a great time and an incredible band playing with me, including my producers Michael Tait and Pete Stewart. Don't we look like we're having fun?


My producers received a demo with all of the songs I had written. We needed three more songs to complete the album. Michael, Pete, Chad Chapin and I sat down and began to write. You can imagine my nervousness as I prepared to write with such accomplished songwriters!


My writing style was a little different than theirs. Usually I write chords, melodies and then the lyric. I'm kind of impatient so when nothing flows I stop and pick up later. I found out quickly that when you're in a session you can't give up that easy!!!


We all really clicked and had a great time writing some great songs! (As you can see we also found just little break time!)
