The Five-Minute Writer: Exercise and inspiration in… von Margret Geraghty
Very useful text if you are in a creative writing group looking for exercises to do. I really live the fact that it is nonlinear / open whatever page and get writing.
This is too much aimed at people trying to write fiction. Many of the exercises require you to do something from the point of a 'character'. That might be just what you want, but it's not suitable for my needs, and once you start skipping exercises the whole thing loses its point.
Oh, and while I enjoyed the exercises I did, it is unreasonable to expect that you will accomplish anything in five minutes.

This is an excellent book for anyone wanting ideas and prompts for creative writing. There are 58 short chapters, each one with some explanations and suggestions for following different paths to creativity. Written in an authoritative yet informal style, the topics covered are diverse, calling on biographical or other details in the reader's mind to experiment with brief writing scenes or lists.
Not a book to read from cover to cover, but one to dip into regularly when needing inspiration in small doses. Highly recommended.… (mehr)
