Great for beating Writer's Block.

I bought this book plus other sentence-composing books, as I'd long suffered Writer's Block. Sentence-composing have much helped me to overcome Writer's Block. They had hugely helped me to brainstorm my thoughts before putting them onto papers. I am now thinking and writing more creatively than ever previously. in addition, I am now writing and typing non-stop, thanks to sentence-composing techniques. In the past, I used to always avoid writing essays in my schooldays because of my Writer's Block. I too avoided replying letters, emails, etc. Not anymore. I wish that sentence-composing techniques were taught in my school days. I think that this book makes an ideal gift for anyone affected by Writer's Block. Teachers, if your pupils suffer from Writer's Block, suggest that they should try sentence-composing exercise. Sentence-composing actually helps combat Writer's Block and encourage brainstorming. The pupils who chronically avoid writing essays/dissertations are likely the ones who most suffer from Writer's Block. That's the truth.
