    WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT PRACTICAL CREATIVE WRITING EXERCISES

    'Thank you so much for compiling this and sharing it with us. Absolutely amazing!' Maggie Bears

    'For the longest time I’ve wanted to put my ideas to paper and write a fantasy novel and I think I finally have the tools and confidence to do it, thank you.' M. Evans

    Hey, I’m really grateful for these exercises. They help so much. I really find ideas flowing to me when I start one. Thanks.’ John L

    I’m just getting back into writing and these exercises are a great way to write without any attachment to the outcome. I love the freedom of the exercise.' Kathleen G

    'The exercise was great because... it kind of opened the way for me to do scenes that in themselves hint to feelings or states of mind, without necessarily have to speak explicitly about them in words. And the flow was great, and the answers so diverse. The questions made me realize that in me there is so much I can write about and so much that I know... Many thanks for that!' Layaly L.

    'I’m just getting back into writing and these exercises are a great way to write without any attachment to the outcome. I love the freedom of the exercise. Just to write for ten minutes and see what happens.
    'I have been going through the exercises with a writing buddy. We decide which one we both want to tackle and then time ourselves. It’s great to read the results to each other and see how the same questions can inspire wildly differing stories. We are having a blast! Thanks!' Kathleen R
