Many writers start out with an idea of what kind of thing they want to write and then never stray from that area of writing. That’s a shame because if you think of yourself as just a novelist, or a poet, or a memoirist, or a non-fiction writer you don’t get to explore the full range of your writer self.
Going off your normal writing tracks will help you
- Feel the creative buzz of breaking new ground
- Find fresh ideas to bring back to your normal writing
- Open up new writing paths you never thought of following
With seventy-five little forays into fiction, non-fiction, memoir and poetry; advice on writing in each genre and a chapter on how to set up a free-range writing group, this book is bursting with ideas for any time your wild writer’s soul feels restless and needs new adventures
