    About this ebook

    Good writing comes from good rewriting. And the best writing creates a mental image of what the author is trying to describe. It should involve the reader.

    To do creative writing, get in the best mental state you can. Visualize what you plan to describe. To break writer’s block, read descriptions in this book. This action will dissolve word freeze and put you in a condition so creative writing flows out of your mind like water flows down a stream. Another benefit to reading descriptions in this book occurs when you recognize even more that you can describe and you’ll get ideas how best to add more descriptive language to your writing. Through this process your words can come alive in your content and in the minds of your readers.

    You can train your mind to become more creative. Try expressive writing by recording your deepest thoughts in short sessions. Try descriptive exercises by mentally creating the best description you can of things you see. Looking at the forest, imagine how you can describe this scene as vividly as you can Through this process you’ll relieve stress and boost your health. And you’ll create prose that will surprise even you.
