The Five-minute Writer: Exercise and Inspiration in Creative Writing in Five Minutes a Day

by Margret Geraghty (Author)

Synopsis

This book will inspire you to write - even if you have only a few minutes a day to spare. Each chapter offers you a writing-related discussion, followed by a five-minute exercise. Five minutes a day spent on an exercise is one of the most effective methods there is to expand your potential and develop self-discipline. The book will help you to: develop a reliable and enjoyable writing routine; access your inner self - the personal memories that reflect universal patterns of the overall human 'story'; recognise your life as an inexhaustible source of story ideas; stimulate creative thought `on demand`; develop whole-brain techniques for 'stepping outside the box'; understand the nature of fiction and what it requires of you; and, remove writing blocks. Just pick a page and begin your writer's journey.
