How do you become a writer? By writing something of course. As any writer knows, coming up with fresh ideas is oftentimes the hardest part. This toolbox helps jumpstart the writing process by focusing on three different useful and unique approaches to building a story: sentence sticks, sixth-sense cards, and story wheel palettes.With each set of tools, you are provided tidbits of information--story details--that need to be connected. It will be hard for you NOT to write whatever story starts flowing from your imagination.To get yourself started, randomly pluck a first "sentence stick." Choose a second stick to reveal a transition. Pick your last stick to nail your climactic moment. It's as simple as that, but this cleverly packaged kit makes it addictively fun.Still feeling a little intimidated by the writing process? Then shuffle up the sixth-sense deck of cards and then choose a few images to elicit sensory detail (smell, sight, sound, taste, touch, and memory) to create your story. The sixth-sense cards stimulate your ability to write specific imagery that will engage your reader.For a full-blown diagnosis of writer's block, try using the palette wheels to structure your story. Spin the protagonist palette wheel and your character is instantly on the page. Expand that character with back-story. Rotate the goal palette to further develop your character as you uncover underlying desires and motivations. Twirl the obstacle palette to introduce tension or conflict in your story and ultimately push the plot forward. And finally, spin the action palette to clinch your story's climactic moment.The packaging on this toolbox is so well done that I leave the writer's toolbox on my coffee table.
