Many writers, including journal writers, express their desire to have a regular writing practice but haven’t been able to create one for themselves. The truth is there’s really no magic to becoming a writer who writes. All you have to do is, well—Write.

“Is it really that simple?” students ask. Yes, is it. This DIY Creative Writing Kit can show you how.

Whether you want to create a regular journal writing practice or a creative writing practice (the difference being one is private, the other can be public), all you have to do is follow three easy steps, which are outlined in the Kit.

The Taking Pen in Hand—How to be a Writer Who Writes includes twelve guidelines that have been used in scores of writing groups for more than twenty years. These guidelines invite the writer “take pen in hand” and begin, then to keep writing without concern for “rules” of grammar or punctuation, or even without knowing where the pen will take them.

The How to be a Writer Who Writes Kit will also show many of the benefits of having a regular writing practice by focusing on process rather than product, including:

honoring commitment
building self-esteem
enhancing creativity
developing trust
encouraging spontaneity
and many more

This Kit can also serve as a tool for journal writing groups and writers working together to support each other in developing a regular writing practice.
