Hello, lovely readers!

Are you looking for a final push in your creativity, or perhaps “write more” is looking a likely candidate for your New Year’s Resolutions? It isn’t always as easy as you’d like it to be, is it?

Well, I can certainly help with that today, and over the next few days, with a Black Friday Sale on the first three books of my A Novel Approach series!

For a limited time only, the first three ebooks are reduced to just 99p/c each!

These creative writing books arose from a series I ran at North Shields Library several years ago now, as well as the prompts I’ve shared with members of North Tyneside Writers’ Circle over the years, and should work equally well for poetry and prose writers of any style or genre.

And, as a broader tip across all prompts; it’s worth sometimes trying the same prompt on different days, during different times of the year, or when you’re aware you’ve in very different moods – it’s funny how doing the same prompt a little while apart can result in very different pieces of writing…

Is there a novel in you? Let me help you find out… Based on my series of workshops held throughout 2019 and into 2020, this book is designed to help writers work through each of the key stages of their story, including: – Idea generation; – Creating characters; – Describing your settings; – Showing vs telling; and – Keeping the words flowing when you find yourself stuck. As well as the above, I have also added sections on hooking your readers in, leaving them wanting more, and useful resources as a writer, including how to dip a successful toe into the world of social media. The workshops were fun, helping writers of short stories and novels alike, and I hope these exercises can help you too!

“This is a very useful book, both to those starting out on their writing journey and to those who are already seasoned writers. I liked the informal, relaxed, chatty style and the way Jennifer C. Wilson identifies with writers’ difficulties, especially when starting out. The range of exercises is practical, well thought through and logically sequenced. I have found them helpful, even though I’ve already written several novels myself. This is the kind of book you can dip in and out of and keep coming back to. Highly recommended.” – Amazon Reviewer.
