This “un” commonplace book is your entry into the Society of Young Inklings. Once opened, every day becomes a new opportunity for creative thinking and fun.
Both whimsical and practical, Spilled Ink is filled with the inspiration, tools and tips needed to develop the writing skills of fledgling authors of all ages. Learn the writerly habit of attention to detail; discovering and collecting ideas from everyday experience that shape the characters, plots, settings and details of fully realized stories. Learn to identify what makes a good story by reading like a writer. And record it all in Spilled Ink.
Believing that writing in all forms and at all ages is the richest way to explore the world, the Society of Young Inklings encourages it as a daily practice. To that end, this notebook works in tandem with the online tips, activities, book reviews, workshops, mentorship and publishing opportunities available on its website. Its bi-monthly e-zine, The Idea Files, explores specific topics such as suspense, character development, wordplay and compelling story beginnings and endings.
