How to Write: How to start, and what to write if you don’t have any ideas - E-book - ePub

Ready to begin? How to Write is a short, alternative guide to starting to write that packs a big punch. By practising these proven techniques, you'll no longer think of yourself as a beginner and finally find the courage to master the craft of writing. Over the course of the book, you'll be introduced to seven writing techniques. By practising them, you'll discover what to write when you first start, and learn how to: get some words written, grow in confidence, think creatively, conquer your fear of the blank page, to let go of judgement and self-criticism, come up with interesting ideas, collect source material for your writing projects, design your own writing prompts.
This book is made up of practical writing activities without the extra fluff. Like all the Small Steps Writing Guides in the series, How to Write is based on two principles. One, you can take any big project, goal or task and break it down into smaller and smaller steps until it becomes doable. Two, if you take small but specific actions regularly enough, they'll have a snowball effect. That means, using the writing prompts in How to Write, you can take small steps towards achieving your writing goals today."Louise is one of the most inspirational lecturers I have ever worked with" - former student.
