This
book provides a selection of writing techniques that are intended to
get the juices flowing and let you write in a way that will generate new
ideas and increase creativity. It's geared towards professionals and is
meant to help readers solve problems at work. Author Levy encourages
the practice of private writing; these are timed exercises that will not
be shown to anyone, removing the pressure of trying to impress someone
else. I almost quit reading early on because I came across two typos in
the preface, but I forged on. This is a fairly short book that can be
read in a day or two. It was published in 2000, but I would recommend
picking up the 2nd edition, published in 2010. This book is indexed, and
includes an annotated recommended reading list.
