As a writer and educator myself, facilitating writing exercises and workshops is a part of my job; hence I need them for my own writing, for my students’ writing. Even in the case that I was not professionally involved with writing/films, I would want to learn new exercises for journalling and as a form of therapy.
I liked Adams’ approach and the overall one-week programme is one that is attainable and sensible,
Writers and writing instructors sometimes invent exercises, and it was lovely to see that Adams’ exercises were in harmony with mine. We also borrow from other disciplines or if there is need to reinvent the wheel, we use a well-established and tested exercise. The logical organisation the exercises in this book as well as the selection is very good.
I highly recommend this book to students of creative writing, emerging and established writers, and those who wish to take up writing as a hobby.
