Simple proposition but effective: free write yourself into a new transformed self. A bit cliche and rough around the edges but i found this book very useful and inspiring.

An entire book on free writing! That's little too much to chew. The book extols the virtues of free writing and presents the hints and examples to get started start with it right away. I liked certain passages of the book and skimmed through the examples (real use cases). My favourite sections are warm up exercises, chunking, creating a text collage and writing marathon.

Good advice that I would like to try. The author uses anecdotes to demonstrate the power of free-writing as a problem-solving tool, and also a technique to kickstart actual writing.

It should be viewed as a general advice and how-to for free-writing, and it is not a scientific or evidence-based exploration of its effects, and work. It contains various exercises to help you along, and is good by way of introduction to the subject.

Fiction writers need only read the first 46 pages.
