From Patricia Benesh, Ed.D

It’s never too late to believe in yourself and become the writer you long to be.
In my 25+ years coaching writers, I’ve explored many topics covering creativity and writing skills and published workbooks to inspire writers.
Write Outside the Box— opens your eyes to the possibilities, WHAT IF? What if you could: bring new life to your stories? Gain confidence in your writing? Be more motivated to write? Write Outside the Box offers exercises to enhance your writing focusing on the major fiction elements: genre, setting, plot, characters, style, and pace. Each fiction element is discussed using examples from The Great Gatsby, a classic novel in the public domain. Then it’s your turn to hone in on that element in your own material using the writing exercises. Choose from a variety of exercises: basic, imaginative fun, analytical, and inspirational. You will imagine new scenarios as you practice on your own passage, scene, or chapter, deal with pesky passages, and take inspiration from your favorite books and authors. It’s a deep dive into your material, intended to result in enhanced skills and confidence in your writing. This treasure trove of practices is designed to ignite your excitement of writing. Believe in the possibilities!
