Brain Oil 35 Creative Writing Exercises by Aggie Burke, Katherine Hage, and Brian Tanaka Introduction In the winter of 1991 the writers' group I belonged to collected 35 of the best writing exercises we had created and compiled them in a small pamphlet called Brain Oil. Perhaps calling them exercises is misleading. Think of them instead as diving boards. Walk out to the end of one and jump! You can use them any way you like, but if you're interested, here's how we would use them: Decide in advance how many minutes you would like your exercise to last. Pick an exercise. Any exercise.
