Waiting for lightbulb moments is a bad strategy if you want to be a writer. No other job lets you wait for inspiration to strike - pilots, chefs, and mechanics can't wait for their solutions to appear. Why should writers?
A writer's job is to have good ideas. If you want to be a good writer, you must have thinking habits that let you produce good ideas on demand.
Most creative writing books give you fun prompts without ever teaching writers to think creatively. This book gives the tools and habits to have fresh ideas on demand.
Learn how to:
- Apply the proven Creative Problem-Solving Process developed by psychologists to help your brain think originally.
- Use cycles of divergent and convergent thinking to take your most promising ideas and build them into something great.
- Apply specific tools to break writer's block and help you meet deadlines by producing creative ideas whenever you need - not just when inspiration strikes.
By the author of Activate your Genius Mode and the Amazon bestselling How to Write a Play, this book takes decades of creative psychology and helps you apply it directly to writing.
