Songwriting Without Boundaries
Pat Pattison's exercises enthrall your senses in a downpour of lyrical uplift. Songwriting Without Boundaries is a blueprint for having your inner-writer with you and maximally expressive at all times. (The feeling you had when your belly got left at the top of a hill on a car ride when you were young, where did it go?) The exercises help you weave your experiences into words to be reconstructed in other minds' eyes.
I highly recommend the book to everyone - even if you're not a writer... but especially if you're any kind of writer. Sharpened swords stay sharper. Songwriting Without Boundaries is a book of action.
Time: 1o minute limit --> Stop writing after 10 minutes! You're not even allowed to finish writing the word you were on!
Object: The Surface of the Sun
Fusion hot spears of plasma piercing the magnetosphere exploding into a space race of technology like none have envisioned... careening into a pile of destiny brighter than the coronal mass ejection engulfing the exodus of sanity from within... bolder than ever before with flavors unimaginable... melting in the mouth with savour... nourishing the body with warmth... brandishing the power of life spreading endlessly throughout the universe without limit... causing change where it cannot touch...
Echoing into the void of nothing with waves perceptible to the human mind... a living creature conscious of the times... living a life of splendid righteousness to smooth sounds beating like a mild drum in the distance to a cool beat... sometimes intense... now a whisper... sliding through the time-space in unimaginable ways propagating without collapse into a million billion ways... all realities simultaneously churning to an end...they culminate in ambiguity... there is no end...TIMER GOES OFF
