500 Songwriting Ideas: For Brave and Passionate People
This book stimulates the mind to a certain degree, however each listed idea seemed rather brief. I felt it was more like a basic brainstorming tool for people who completely lacked creativity. I have also read The Songwriter's Idea Book by Sheila Davis and found that to be a fully comprehensive book providing ideas for songwriting, and it goes into more depth, providing examples where necessary... whereas this book failed to expand on the ideas listed.

Extremely useful and inspiring resource
500? More like 5 million ideas! A person who writes a lot can get stale, or go dry. This book is an amazing well of ideas. I use it all the time. It really gets me inspired to write new songs. It's especially useful when I'm looking for a great hook.

Stretch your imagination and your heart
An inspirational, evocative book. The author is extremely creative, and offers her many insights - in the form of exercises the reader can try -- for songwriting. A valuable resource for anyone serious about songwriting, and, more broadly, an open invitation to be more creative.
