Writeriffic II: Creativity Training for Writers Reviews
-
This writer training book was a year and a half experience for me. It was given to me as a gift last year on my birthday and I started doing the exercises in late June as we moved to Texas.
There is great writing advice in the front section-- mainly just that writers need to WRITE to improve. And then commences a random selection of writing prompts. I wrote about everything from Cinderella to my family's enchilada pie recipe. Some of the writing exercises were geared toward memoir and I had to look up a photo or a calendar to remember something from my past. I wrote a couple of poems and even made a sketch for one. Many of my exercises were altered slightly and turned into blog posts.
One of my favorite exercises had me look up a magazine article; I chose Ghost Towns in New Mexico. Then I had to write six new "hook" sentences to grab a reader. Another exercise had me eavesdropping in the hair salon. A woman next to me had a deep scar and interesting tattoo which fueled a mafia story.
The last section of the book gave a collection of 3 words which had to be turned into a one-page story. The challenge was that the story had to contain all 3 words and start with the first word. This was not an easy feat; often I found the best way to make the first sentence use that word was to jump into the story with dialogue.
I highly recommend this book to any writer at any stage of their writing journey. -
Very encouraging
This a very encouraging "how to" book with lots of practical writing tips, followed by writing exercises that are interesting and accessible.
