I'm currently working my way through the exercises in this book. While it's geared toward playwrights and screenwriters rather than musical writers, I've found it very
valuable in helping me through places in my project where I've felt snagged- or where I feared I'd written myself into a brick wall. I've done 9 of the 66 exercises so far, and each one opened up new character insights and ideas for dramatic action for me. I feel like my story is alive again, and I've made some discoveries about it that are surprising to me. The exercises are simple, and most of them can be done in about 15 minutes. Amazing that 15 minutes following a few targeted questions can shift my perception about what I'm working on. I highlight a lot, and flag pages that I find helpful, and my copy of this book has a lot of color and fringe.Get more detail about The Dramatic Writer's Companion: Tools to Develop Characters, Cause Scenes, and Build Stories.
