WRITE WHAT YOU DON?T KNOW IBD

Sinopsis

Write What You DonâÇÖt Know: 10 Steps to Writing with Confidence, Energy, and Flow is a revolutionary approach to learning to write and improving your writing. In this culmination of 20 years spent developing the Imaginative Storm method, Huston and Navé have created a step-by-step guide thatâÇÖs both inspiring and practical. ThereâÇÖs no other guide to writing like it!But how can you write what you donâÇÖt know? Think of it this way: when youâÇÖre living life, you donâÇÖt know far more than you know. You donâÇÖt know what other people are thinking. You donâÇÖt know how the story will turn out. But when you sit down to write, you know what happened--or if youâÇÖre writing fiction, you know the story youâÇÖre writing. And thatâÇÖs why, when you just 'download' what you know onto the page, the writing doesnâÇÖt have the tang off life.When you write in the Imaginative Storm, you surprise yourself. YouâÇÖre curious about what will come out! So youâÇÖre energized, and your writing is energized, because youâÇÖre generating images, thoughts, perceptions, insights, that youâÇÖve never put into words before.Have you ever worried about finding your voice? Worry no more! ItâÇÖs there, itâÇÖs always been there. You just have to find a way of letting it come out onto the page. Your imagination knows what to write. You just have to unleash the storm.ItâÇÖs not an exaggeration to say that the Imaginative Storm writing method changes peopleâÇÖs lives. They say so themselves:'After Imaginative Storm, writerâÇÖs block is a myth.' - Abdullah H. Erakat, journalist and screenwriter'ItâÇÖs like meeting a part of yourself you didnâÇÖt know existed. What a gift!' - Wendy Shaw, artist'Every session has been deeper and more fulfilling. ItâÇÖs infusing my entire life with creativity.' - Chris Minnich, businessmanAdvance praise for Write What You DonâÇÖt Know:'BRILLIANT! Not only are your concepts and exercises both common-sensical and revolutionary, the writing is so calm, intelligent, friendly, unpretentious, precise, loving, funny and warm--itâÇÖs inspiring to read this--and so moving, as I think about aspects of writing I havenâÇÖt seen put into words before. I love this book. ItâÇÖs so true and so excellent and kick-ass.' - Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning novelist and former faculty at Iowa WritersâÇÖ Workshop'Write What You DonâÇÖt Know is like a writerâÇÖs recipe box: first it helps youárecognize the ingredients you already have at your fingertips. Then its clever exercises and prompts help you create a banquet out of your own stories and perspectives. Add a dash ofáencouragement, aáheaping tablespoon of insight into the writersâÇÖ processá-áand you end up feeling both spiritually and creatively well-nourished.'- Nicole Perlman, screenwriter of Guardians of the Galaxy
