Good for learning which we all are

Originally bought February 2015, misplaced, just found a month ago, It has a lot to say about writing, which is something we are learning! I don't know any expert writers, you are only as good as last thing you wrote, and that's saying nothing about tomorrow! Writing isn't something you can learn reading a book, going to collage concerts or taking an online program (no matter what the advertisers say)! You are either a writer or you ain't. To those who are computers made things easier, but I still carry a pen and paper with me, never know when something will strike you and deserve to be written down not even a tablet can be there. Or sometimes an idea will come from thinking of the day, person, or persons!

A great resource!!

I started a songwriters club just over a year ago. We've all spent time acquiring good resources to read and share. We look for reference material that will not only help us with our individual work but will help us offer constructive ideas to each other on lyrics, construction, content, melody, theme, etc. This is one of the better books I've found on lyric writing. It gives a lot of approaches for stimulating songs along with examples of popular songs that used each approach. I find it is now a book I can pick up anytime, open to any page and within moments have a fresh idea. There seems to be a good balance of instructive narrative and helpful examples. What I like most is that it deals head on with my two biggest issues: inspiration and structure. It was definitely money well spent and truly delivers on the author's promise (a statement I'm unwilling to make about similar books). It is a keeper for my reference library. I fully intend to purchase other works by this author.

New ideas right off the bat...

Althought I haven't yet finished the entire book, I found the first sections of this work so inspiring that I thought they merited comment. What may seem common knowledge (or common sense) to an experienced writer, the ideas that were revealed in the first few sections of this book were eye-openers to me. Peppered with comments and insights from successful writers, the section titled "30 ways to find inspiration" was all I hoped it would be....and all I needed to push my creativity to a place it hasn't been in quite some time. A simple, productive kick in the pants for a writer like me who didn't know which way to go next. In the two weeks since reading this section alone, I've filled at least a dozen pages with new prospects. When this surge is over, I'll see what the rest of the book has to offer!

Great Resource

I can tell you from experience writing lyrics this has helped me big time to take my writing in a new direction. Also pick up his book "how to write songs on Keyboard" gives you great hints to get better with writing music on keyboard.

upside down AND backwards

the book was in good condition until you open it and see that the entire book is upside and backwards. the table of contents is in the back of the book with the index in the front. Page 175 is in the front, while the first page is at the end.

Not Perfect but Good

This doesn't really delve too deep in the songwriting process unlike some of Rikky's other books which is a shame but it still has a bunch of good ideas and things to springboard from

Plenty of information.

Won't really know how much I like this until I get to the end (and write a smash-hit), but have learned a lot so far.

Nice book

this book is nice, gives some good ideas for writing lyrics. I thought that there was a short ryhming dictonary included, but there is not. Maybe I have just misunderstood the description. It still remains a very useful book!
