Hi Mike,

Would love to participate, however, warning, warning - total newbie to writing lyrics!

Andrea Stolpe's approach is perfect for the person who knows absolutely nothing about lyrics. It develops some excellent lyric-writing principles that will stand you in great stead.

With the forums I've created, I've set them up so that we will all be working through Andrea's book. The stuff is self-paced. My experience is that working with others really helps to boost creativity enormously.

If you're interested, below are links to a couple of pdfs I've created that help give a bit more of an insight. (Right-click on the link and then 'Save as' to download the files.)

PDF #1: An example of the work for Day 1.

PDF #2: Reference guide for Stolpe's Principles (page 1) and Rhyme types (page 2).

I think you'll enjoy the 6 weeks!

All the best,
Noel

P.S. The pdf files might not seem to be too meaningful right at this moment. Once we get going with Andrea's book, though, they'll make sense smile
