  • A positive take on someone you loathe
  • A description of your mother's emotions as they are expressed by her eyes
  • A scene involving a group of people, focusing exclusively on how they use their hands

Why We Love It

For a lot of writers, getting started is the hardest part. Oftentimes there's nothing more intimidating than a blank page staring back at you. We love this workbook for its informative hand-holding; it walks you through techniques, writing drills, and the skills required to write and develop characters. It's like a mini Masterclass in a book.
