This is the book that helped me to find "lift off" point with my own writing and I now use some of the exercises in the creative writing course that I teach with very good results. I particularly like the sections on using drawing, and active imaginings. I would recommend it strongly to anyone who needs a starting point with writing with lots of different ideas for ways in to finding their material.

Required text for a journaling course...it's out of print so I bought it used for a good price. I won't be using it again as I didn't find the exercises all that helpful. Not a bad book if you're trying to get some ideas of what to write about, perhaps helpful for some creative writing pieces.

Not for me.
