5.0 out of 5 stars Fun To Read AND A Great Resource Book!, September 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Soul of a Writer: Intimate Interviews with Successful Songwriters (Paperback)

This book gives a great insight into the creative minds of some of the best songwriters around! It's better than meeting them yourself, because the author also thought of all the right questions to ask AND you can read through the answers over-and-over again! An insider's view of creativity, inspiration, and effort!

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Soul Of A Writer" is a journey worth taking!, September 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Soul of a Writer: Intimate Interviews with Successful Songwriters (Paperback)

"The Soul Of A Writer" is not only thought-provoking, it delivers inspiration in the face of adversity. To begin the journey, is to start with the soul, and that is exactly what these authors accomplished. There are no right or wrong answers, just the true and human insights from those who write the songs. How powerful is the human voice and how ever-present is the writer who gives life to it! Truly a world of revelations , habits, and human ancedotes fill the pages of this book. It is a rare find for those looking to identify their thoughts and feelings with other songwriters. Whether you are a writer in full blown success or a writer still in search of that "first:" hit, I highly recommend settling down in your most comfortable spot and jumping right in. It may be remarkable what you discover in the "soul of a writer."

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational for all creative endeavors!, March 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Soul of a Writer: Intimate Interviews with Successful Songwriters (Paperback)

The format for this book is truly unique! Instead of focusing on one writer at a time, the issues of the creative process are the subject. Each contributor songwriter then provides their thoughts and experiences in that area. Great to read cover to cover or to pick up and thumb through for inspiration and ideas! Highly recommended!
