The Writer's Tune-Up Manual is a collection of 35 writing exercises to help jump start your writing. The exercises focus on one of five areas: character, POV, dialogue, description and setting, and plot. The exercises are varied and will help you think about each of the above five areas in lots of different ways. Please keep in mind that this book is a collection of exercises and is fairly short. If you don't know how to string words together, this is not the book for you. If you want to try your hand at writing or writer's block is setting in and you need a kick in the rear, this book might be a good fit.

I have not written for fun, since I was in high school; however, I have never stopped thinking that it might be fun to try my hand at writing. These exercises seem to be the perfect starting place for me. The idea of writing a book or even a novelette seems overwhelming, but I think I could write 500 words on a subject. Who knows, maybe this is the jump start that I need to start a novelette. Hmmm, NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is only a few months away...
