The 3 A.M. Epiphany offers more than 200 intriguing writing exercises designed to help you think, write, and revise like never before - without having to wait for creative inspiration. Brian Kiteley, noted author and director of the University of Denver's creative writing program, has crafted and refined these exercises through 15 years of teaching experience.
You'll learn how to: Transform staid and stale writing patterns into exciting experiments in fiction Shed the anxieties that keep you from reaching your full potential as a writer Craft unique ideas by combining personal experience with unrestricted imagination Examine and overcome all of your fiction writing concerns, from getting started to writer's block Open the book, select an exercise, and give it a try. It's just what you need to craft refreshing new fiction, discover bold new insights, and explore what it means to be a writer.
It's never too early to start?not even 3 A.M. Book News Annotation:It is a dark and stormy night. You have been staring at a blank
screen for four hours. Nothing is passing from your head to your
fingers, frozen in place on the keyboard. Suddenly that sixth cup of
coffee kicks in and you are inspired to take up Kiteley's (creative
writing, U. of Denver) book. There you find "God," which turns out to
be the name of one of his 201 exercises. Along with the thought-
provoking and inspirational exercises, which tend to rely on
combining memoir with imagination, Kitely provides commentary about
the act and art of writing and gives practical as well as creative
ideas about getting that book done, critiquing your own and others'
work and writing fresh fiction with less anxiety of the dark and
stormy night variety.
