was impressed with your email campaign. Rather just a lot of inflated claims, high-pressure tactics, and the
same old buzzwords and BS, you gave examples of some of the techniques in your book...which I found interesting
and helpful.
Using your plan, (the 30 minute nightly improvisation), I generated seven quality ideas that I intend to use on my current CD project. Beyond the new ideas I generated, using your techniques, using them helped me develop the much-needed habit of looking for new ideas, stretching myself, and doing something different during my practice sessions, rather than the mindless noodling I had fallen into the habit of doing.
It has been said that "genius is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration." There is plenty of material out there to help beginning composers with the ninety-nine...but very little that actually teaches one how to be inspired. You've accomplished that rare feat.
