haha, i have a problem usually....if my piece is purely tonal, nice and sweet changing key's where necessary...i cant step into chromatiscim very well, or even dissonance...if i do, it will usually involve diminished and augmented chords.

If i write a piece starting dissonant, it will remain that way the WHOLE way...and wont make sense. There wont be any form of a memorable motif (well, usually rhythm is my motif), but its ridiculous. I know some people may say "dissonance doesnt have to make sense..." and then some people may speak vice versa. But, I always struggle to just place a nice climactic building point in TONALITY to give everyone listening a chance to breathe in sensible sound.

I know what you mean, and Im sorry but I can't offer much advice on it. I would agree with GMS's comment though: read scores...and as you said, you are...so tahts good.
