Want to write better? Be a “bowerbird.”




Struggling to organize your book or find your creative spark? Borrow this trick from the bowerbird.

 

Bowerbirds gather shiny, colorful objects to build their nests. Authors can do the same by borrowing techniques from different disciplines to craft unforgettable books.

 

Want to make your writing stand out? Here are three quick wins to try today:

🔹 Use PowerPoint to visually outline your book like a designer.

🔹 Think like a screenwriter by storyboarding your chapters.

🔹 Adopt a scientist’s precision by testing your ideas: perhaps by placing an article.

 

This eclectic approach can transform your work from predictable to remarkable. Embrace the adaptability of a bowerbird—stay open to inspiration from anywhere!
