Opening Intuitive Windows : Ideas to Exercise Creative Process and Encourage Independent Thinking

Recognized as "One of the least pretentious texts dealing with creative writing & the creative process." OPENING INTUITIVE WINDOWS engages individual explorations of the writing voice. With each page offering a different approach to creativity, OIW's spacious 8 1/2 x 11 format invites immediate, sometimes lengthy responses directly on the page. In addition to over 40 exercises, numerous fresh essays, poems, stories & monologues exemplify the creative process & provide the level of writing that encourages & challenges the thoughtful & articulate artist within each of us. A MUST for introductory creative writing classes, ideal for classes teaching "process of writing" or requiring journals--it expands prewriting techniques & solicits individual approaches. Illustrated in pen & ink, printed on a heavy, textured, recycled paper, OIW is ideal for small bookstores-- recently in a specialty shop a customer returned just to say thanks for finding a practical, alternative gift for someone sophisticated & creative. Also, with its organic arrangement, OPENING INTUITIVE WINDOWS is finally the answer to blank books & journals. It will make people write & should not be missing from any bookstore offering a writing section.Hathaway, Kirk is the author of 'Opening Intuitive Windows : Ideas to Exercise Creative Process and Encourage Independent Thinking', published 1992 under ISBN 9781881190004 and ISBN 1881190005.
