Over time, I’ve developed and sometimes shamelessly “stolen” from another writer (but I always credit the source) a series of exercises designed to jumpstart my lazy lizard brain. These tricks and methods help me write and sell stories. I run a series of interactive writing workshops with these very exercises and that they helped hundreds of new writers get their start.
These methods might help you write awesome stories and sell them. If that happens, feel free to dedicate a story to me. However, I should warn you that these exact methods and exercises might not work for you. That’s OK. The point of this workshop is to learn from what others do and see if you can forge your own way to wordsmithing glory.
Warning: These exercises presume that you have a basic understanding of the English language, common terms and conceits, and that you own your own copy of The Elements of Style by Shrunk and White.

For hottest news you have to pay a quick visit world-wide-web and
on the web I found this website as a most excellent website for newest updates.
After I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new
comments are added- checkbox and from now on whenever a comment is
added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there a means you are
able to remove me from that service? Thank you!
