I was recently given a book by a friend called, “The Write-Brain Workbook” by Bonnie Neubauer, which has 366 exercises to get those creative juices flowing. Ialready down a handful of the exercises and let me tell you what – there are several great ideas already brewing in my mind from the simple things I’ve done.

This book is much like a little brainteaser type game to get your mind going. The nice aspect is that the author encourages users to throw worries of spelling, punctuation, and good content right out the window! What a treat! She actually says to let yourself write “junk”. Not too worry about how great or bad it is but to focus on just getting something out on the paper.

This sense of freedom is very empowering and allows for free roam of the mind’s thoughts. She encourages users to stick with the first thoughts popping into mind, not to be too critical, and to not second guess yourself. All of these elements combine to give the user a great creative boost.

If you are suffering from writers block, or possibly having a hurtle in plot or character development. Perhaps you are struggling to come up with your next idea, then give this book a shot! I promise it will get that pen going. Success often comes from several failures -so let go and have some fun!
