Description

This Writing Starters book carries on from Volume I with 52 more questions and ideas to inspire your writing. Maybe you’re working on your first book, maybe it’s your 50th. Maybe you have run out, temporarily, of ideas for your next creation. Sometimes you just need a fresh start, new inspiration, a re-boot. There’s no better place to get this than from your own life experiences and repository of memories, ideas, and opinions – your brain! Writing Starters books are all about nudging that process along.
Here’s what one successful novelist appreciates about Writing Starters:

Writing Starters makes creativity feel effortless – each prompt opens a door to reflection, imagination, and joy.
What stood out to me most was the way the book encourages writers to slow down and enjoy the process. It doesn’t rush creativity or force outcomes, which makes it useful for writers working in memoir, fiction, or nonfiction alike. It feels like a book you can return to again and again at different stages of your writing life.” — Sarah Alderson, bestselling author of over 30 novels.

Allow these writing starters to stimulate your little gray cells. Take your time. Enjoy the process of getting to know yourself better as you explore your imagination and recollections of people, places, and things you have experienced. It’s all there in your head: the memories, the ideas, the characters, the scenes. Sometimes you just need a bit of help to access them. Writing starters stimulate your appetite for writing. Take them in. Savor them. Let them flavor your creativity. Write a letter to that favorite teacher who encouraged you to succeed. Remember how it felt on a particularly dark and stormy night. Take a day. Take a year. Get it all out on to a page. Plan a story. Write a novel. It may need to begin with a Starter.
The Writing Starters Volumes are part of the Publish-It-Yourself Series from Touchwood Press.
