Many people want to write but don't know where to start. "WRITE: A 30-day Guide to Creative Writing" is designed for the aspiring fiction writer who wants to kick-start their imagination. Packed with activities, daily tasks, exercises, and advice, it offers guidance through the basic stages of writing creatively: formulating ideas, crafting characters, inventing plot and dialogue, dealing with setting, pace and structure, and even overcoming writer's block. Original, stimulating, and often funny, this is the ideal guide both for the independent writer, and for tutors and workshop leaders.
