Here is just one example of the 52
songwriting exercises included in The Songwriter's Journal:
Go over to your bookshelf (you do own a
book or two, don’t you?) and choose a book at random. (It doesn’t
matter whether it’s fiction or nonfiction.)
Flip the book open to any page and point
your finger at a line in the middle of the page. Your assignment is to
write a song about that line.
The subject matter isn’t important.
If you pointed to a sentence about
garden insects and how to get rid of them, don’t let that stop you.
"The Night the Yellow Woollybears Ate My Pet Petunia" is just
waiting to be written.
