Creative Writing Exercises - set your imagination free.

Creative Writing Exercises - set your imagination free.
Creative writing exercises are a great way to get started. Whether you are a beginner, or are an experienced writer these exercises will stimulate your mind and get your ideas flowing. I will be straight with you and tell you that very few people just start writing and straight away produce great results. We’ve all heard the stories about writers who find immediate success, however they are rare and that’s why those stories make headlines. Think of creativity as a muscle and like any muscle, creativity requires exercise if it is to become strong. There are lots of different creative writing exercises you can do. There are also these abstract creative writing exercises, which are less defined and are perhaps more of a challenge to the imagination. I truly believe in the power of creative writing exercises and that’s why I wrote my book ‘Practical Creative Writing Exercises.’ If you want to gain focus, become more creative and be inspired then this is the book for you. Keep writing, Grace
