The Book Inside You: How to Seduce Your Brain into Setting It Free - Mark Brady

The book inside you:
how to seduce your brain into setting it free

Are you one of the 80 percent of Americans who know they have a book in them? Are you curious about the role your brain plays in keeping that expressive work locked inside?

In this presentation, local Whidbey Island writer and brain educator Mark Brady will take us on a compelling tour of the writer’s brain, focusing primarily on the parts that persist in keeping creative expression under wraps.

By evening's end you will leave inspired to begin putting words on real or virtual paper in ways that you never have before.
