Pen on Fire: A Busy Woman's Guide to Igniting the Writer Within in Bloomington, MN

In her years of teaching, Barbara DeMarco-Barrett has found aspiring writers (especially women) blocked not by fear of the blank page but by the lack of time. Finding even an hour, much less a day, free of work, children, or chores can seem impossible. But you don't need an hour. Start looking for just fifteen minutes a day--minutes spent stalled in traffic, waiting for water to boil, stuck on hold--and DeMarco-Barrett will help you turn them into productive sessions that get and keep your creativity flowing. In short, inspiring chapters, she offers classroom-tested exercises and innovative techniques for generating ideas, as well as advice from well-known authors. Give her fifteen minutes: She'll ignite your pen and help you to become the writer you have always wanted to be.
