To jumpstart your writing, use a kitchen timer. The timer distracts your internal editor, making space for your unconscious to get creative. The timer catches the attention of the left-brain critic. Left brains like watching the clock. Use timed writing as a discovery tool, a pathway to insight into your work, whether you’re working on fiction, poetry, non-fiction, a screenplay, a memoir. This is a hands-on workshop with writing in the room.
