Basic exercises
1 Write every day for at least ten minutes. Keep this work - don't show it to anyone and don't keep rereading it and judging it...let it be.....2 Keep a dream book - write yourdreams in it first thing every morning.....this takes discipline but is very useful...you'll learn a lot about theimages / themes which are yours 3 Write your childhood down.....just as a long story in a school type exercise book.
