Art Helps Writing

altered book spread, originally uploaded by Bellah.

In my freelance writing classes we use artistic techniques such as collage and mind-mapping to organize ideas. It works so well it feels as if, after this is done, the articles practically write themselves. It’s fun, but the real reason is to engage the right brain so that article-writing is not just a left-brain process. No writer’s block. No frustration.
