3 AM Epiphany | 
My mind is in such turmoil that i really need to write to ease my anxiety. However, I‘m not thinking clearly enough to just write so i went to a late night friend to help me come up with a subject to write about.
“Phone Tag.
Write a fairly long, complicated phone conversation overheard by someone in the room. All three people — the listener in the room, the caller, and the person on the other end of the line — are involved with each other...”
pick5? This is really a fun little book on writing. It's probably equal parts advice and writing exercises, but the exercises do take center stage. For NaNoWriMo I got a lot out of the "Advice for Writing Books" section. If you like a good writing prompt, this book is for you. It's probably geared toward someone who has done a little writing before, but I could still see this working for someone new to writing as well.

This is officially the 🤨STRNAGEST🤨 writing exercise I have ever seen. It‘s almost like creative writing/original fiction, grown up madlibs.

Reading up on writing women and men, and this was an interesting little tidbit.

Love how he‘s all, “You‘re a writer. You write words. All this other stuff is great, but you still write words.”

(Which of course makes me think of Hamlet lol)

Always looking for new approaches to developing all of my characters...no matter the genre...no matter how significant they seem within a narrative.

To my fellow Litsy Writers, have any of you discovered something like this about yourself? If so, how did you stumble upon it? This is seriously the only book I‘ve read that mentions something like this.

Yes, this is highlighted with three different colours. lol
I learned to write (and not make an entire story one long sentence - I was 7) by writing. This approach makes perfect sense to me. Love that one of the few schools to offer a PhD in creative writing using these ideas and exercises (because the dean of that program wrote the book). I feel like that legitimises this way of learning and improving your writing.

Bought this book at the same time as Wonderbook, but I‘ve used it several times since getting it. I‘m looking forward to hanging out with my characters with these writing exercises. Between this book and Wonderbook, I definitely prefer this book. It‘s less about do‘s and don‘t‘s, and more about the joy of writing to expand your abilities.

My eye-opener is that all of us want to feel content, to feel important; to that extent, treat each person as important, the same way you would want to be treated, and all that goodness and kindness will return to you.
Thanks abbs for your giveaway!!!💕💕
The book I'm carting around in my laptop bag doesn't have a picture on the cover. (#booktober day 3) Bonus: It gives me a +2 to crafting books of my own.
