An Inspiring Journal for Young Writers
by Bill Zimmerman
For young adults
Writers Digest Books - 112 pages
How do writers catch an idea before it disappears? How can
creative writing be fun, when it's such hard work...or is it?
This book focuses on capture and hold onto great ideas, without
worrying about punctuation and grammar. Every piece of writing
begins with a good idea, and author Zimmerman stresses the importance
of getting the idea down first. Lose the idea, and you'll lose
the article, essay, poem, or book.
IDEA CATCHER FOR KIDS is built around fun exercises &
storystarters like this:
"You invent a new interactive T-shirt to wear that an
become your personal electronic billboard. The sirt can be programmed
to flash your personal message to the world. The message can
change whenever you wish to reflect tyour different moods and
feelings. On a typical day, as you do different things and visit
different places. What are some of the messages YOUR shirt would
convey?"
Caution: This book could turn you into a real writer. Buy
midnight oil and plenty of paper.
