Writers stay in their heads, working with words and thoughts continually. Often, their thoughts get them stuck and their words become stumbling blocks to the completion of their projects. With this creative journal, author and creativity coach Nina Amir will help writers use both the analytical and creative sides of their brains, along with the proven tools of visualization and affirmation to achieve their goals. 'Creative Visualisation for Writers' will help them to express themselves as true artists and fulfil their potential as authors.

Creative Visualisation for Writers is designed so that readers can pick up the book and use it for a day, a week or a month - whatever time frame works for them. They can pick and choose from more than 150 interactive exercises, which include everything from storm writing and colouring, to drawing and diagramming. With so much variety, every writer will find numerous exercises that speak to them. And they can use the book over and over again whenever they need inspiration, relaxation, a way to work on or bring an idea into the world, or a creative boost.

The book provides a prescription any time the reader feels stuck, stressed, low energy, frustrated, lacking in confidence, or simply experiences a light bulb go on for a new idea - or needs a light bulb to go on.

By using the book in this way, readers will change their ways of looking at themselves, their works-in-progress and their ability to make those creative dreams realities. They will emerge with a new perspective, new habits, and many new ideas and goals designed to enhance or move forward their writing careers.

The book will be divided into five primary sections, including self-exploration, goals, creativity, visualisation, and focus.
