When Patti Smith was plagued with writer's block - "e;scattered and stymied, surrounded by unfinished songs and abandoned poems"e; - playwright Sam Shepard advised her, "e;When you hit a wall, just kick it in."e; In these pages, Abercrombie shows readers how to do just that. Like a workout with a top trainer, her writing exercises warm up, stretch, and build creative muscle. Quotes from famous writers inspire each day's exercise. Though Abercrombie says readers need only commit five minutes to each exercise, she writes, "e;I've seen novels, memoirs, and many essays get started"e; in those five minutes, "e;and a lot ended up being published."e; Her playful, powerful method is ideal - maybe even essential - fuel for writers trying to get off the starting block, persevere through challenges, and cross their personal creativity finish lines.
