Sponsored by the Northern Nevada Writing Project, “WritingFix believes this: No one writes with just the right-side of his/her brain. The brain is too complex and cross-wired to believe that. But we believe this too: Ideas that spark a writer’s inspiration can start on the right-side of the brain. And for that reason, all writing activities categorized on this page celebrate a right-brained approach to beginning a piece of writing. This page celebrates approaches that are serendipitous. This page celebrates approaches that are random. Devote part of your journal or your writer’s notebook to right-brained sparks.”
