    About this ebook

    Improve your writing and enhance your creativity with the power of imagery.

    Let's face it. Some authors write so beautifully with such vivid description that it makes you question your own abilities. You want to write compelling books, but sometimes it feels like you got the short end of the creativity stick. What if you could tap into an unknown source of writing eloquence that's present in every human mind? What if one book could give you the tools you need to write descriptions that jump right off the page?

    What many struggling writers forget is that humans are visual creatures. Because "seeing" is a more natural way to express, we're drawn to imagery for inspiration. The Visual Writer allows you to tap into the power of photos to give you a new perspective and renewed creative energy.

    Attacking Creativity From the Side

    Albert Einstein once said, "I live my daydreams in music." He and other famous creatives often turned to seemingly unrelated creative endeavors to help them when they were stuck. He called this the "combinatory play" of the mind. Using Einstein's methodology, author Nancy Hendrickson provides you with impressive imagery to use as a creative function in your writing. By stepping outside of words and using imagery and other creative outlets, you'll add depth, color, and vibrancy to your writing.

    Through the use of Nancy's book, your jealousy of "beautiful writing" will fade as you create your own rich tapestry of words. Soon enough, you'll be the author other writers are envious of. Let Nancy show you the way. (This book was originally published as Vanquish Writer’s Block)

    Vanquish Writer's Block! is a new approach to get you out of your writing funk and into a creative flow state. Nancy's latest book is quirky, stimulating, thought-provoking, and unconventional. Use it to fill your head with incredible ideas.

      Jun 12, 2023

      Hang around any gathering of prose writers, and soon you’ll hear the question: “Are you a pantser? Or a plotter?” Pantsers write, per the old bromide, “by the seat of their pants.” Meaning, they plop down in a seat with a glimmer of an idea, staring
