Write
With A Virtual Co-writer - No Agreement Necessary
Stuck on a verse or the chorus or the bridge or the second verse, etc.
and you think maybe a co-writer could get you out of the jam? Or maybe
you're already co-writing and the two of you or three or more are similarly
stuck? This is where a virtual co-writing program could break the dam
open and save the song.
Read on to see how a virtual co-writing program called ParaMind
can become your co-writing best friend. And it's fired up and ready
to go in Windows and Mac versions.
Got A Line But It Needs A Tweak
The software program ParaMind takes any lyric line you've written and
then rewrites it up to hundreds of times changing only the words of
the line you want rewritten. The words replaced are all related to your
original word, such as adjectives related to sight, or adverbs related
to walking for example.
Click
here to see one lyric line rewritten over a hundred times.
It may seem like almost too much but the idea is just to quickly scroll
through the new combinations and see what grabs you.
Most of the new lines will make sense and perhaps even give you that
aha moment and some will be just plain weird though that may be what
you're after :-)
In any case the new lines that ParaMind generates will generally make
sense and you may well get even better ideas about the direction of
your song.

Can Unleash A Brainstorm Too
If you're looking to expand on an idea for a song line or even just
want help getting the song off the ground in the first place then ParaMind
can help here as well.
ParaMind offers up brainstorming with its "Large Merge"
function that can create multiple pages of new word combinations within
minutes.
And again simply scan through the listings to pick out the ones that
grab you.
Got a spark but want to flesh it up further then you can use the "Find
Word to Substitute" to select a word category and then even use the
"Merge" feature to get back the most meaningful words to expand your
idea.
Goes Beyond A Thesaurus
If your thesaurus isn't doing it for you then let ParaMind aid your
search by using its "Substitute Highlighted Word".
This feature is unlike a thesaurus in that it doesn't limit the search
to just words with similar meanings, but goes beyond by including words
in related word chains.
You may never use your thesaurus again let alone write without a trusty
new virtual co-writer in tow.
So if your mind is at the end of the line you might want
to try ParaMind.
