About SKETCHES
SKETCHES is an introductory e-book on creative writing using every day, ordinary experiences. It features 10 simple yet effective creative writing techniques to help beginning writers come up with creative pieces.
Originally a 3-week e-mail workshop offered by The e-Writer's Place, the e-book version of SKETCHES is being offered so those who do not have time to join an e-mail workshop have another option -- they can still do the creative writing activities offered in the e-mail workshop on their own time and at their own pace.
