“Even if you’re stuck at home, you don’t need to be stuck for writing ideas! Have you ever written on a banana? What about asking a chair where it would like to go? Discover surprising springboards for inspiring creativity in the everyday world around you, and explore how to channel that inspiration into all sorts of wonderful words.” – Claire Boot
