Writing relieves and discharges, makes order from chaos, gives insight and generally leads to a more fulfilled and vibrant life. Using a number of practical exercises that anyone can master, the author demonstrates how one can awake one's inner writer and experience writing as a natural and creative force and use it as a source of inspiration. Whether employing the so-called cut-up technique of chopping up and reassembling lines of thought or imagining one's favorite dessert, writers can always extend their horizon, change their perspective, open up to new experiences and deal in a deeper sense with their own conflicts and those of their surroundings.
