Write What You Don't Know: 10 Steps to Writing with Confidence, Energy, and Flow is a revolutionary approach to learning to write and improving your writing. In this culmination of 20 years spent developing the Imaginative Storm method, Huston and Navé have created a step-by-step guide that's both inspiring and practical.
There's no other guide to writing like it!
But how can you write what you don't know? Think of it this way: when you're living life, you don't know far more than you know. You don't know what other people are thinking. You don't know how the story will turn out. But when you sit down to write, you know what happened-or if you're writing fiction, you know the story you're writing. And that's why, when you just "download" what you know onto the page, the writing doesn't have the tang of life.
When you write in the Imaginative Storm, you surprise yourself. You're curious about what will come out! So you're energized, and your writing is energized, because you're generating images, thoughts, perceptions, insights, that you've never put into words before.
Have you ever worried about finding your voice? Worry no more! It's there; it's always been there. You just have to find a way of letting it come out onto the page. Your imagination knows what to write. You just have to unleash the storm.
