Description:

You know it when you see it. A book, a film, a poem, a play, an article jolts you. You can’t get that scene, snippet of dialog, character, idea, or joke out of your head. You find yourself quoting from it, telling your friends, daydreaming about it, and if you’re a writer, wishing you had written it. You can be creative like that. The secret to producing original, compelling work is unlocking your creativity. That’s something everyone can learn because the basis for creativity is the ability to see the world in new ways. All it takes is a bit of curiosity, a willingness to open your mind, and some practice. This handy book from Writing Show host Paula B. will show you how. Organized as 52 hands-on exercises, it will help you cultivate curiosity, break down mental and emotional barriers, and analyze what you see and feel...all at your own pace.
