The first 18 pages of the Evergreen book really gave me some great ideas. I was able to soak up a good amount of advice it was throwing at me. By reading just those pages I feel if I have any trouble in writing I can turn to the book for some help. It gives a great amount of information on how to get started when you want to write a paper. Brainstorming and free-writing were my favorite ideas from the book so far. Evergreen gives you a variety of ideas there should be no way someone would be stuck or frustrated with a topic. The practices it gives you also seem pretty helpful.
The Evergreen book can keep your mind wide open in all aspects. I really enjoyed reading it and the great ideas it had to offer. The book also makes you take into consideration the little things in everyday life. Meaning something you used to look past, can be your main topic on your next paper. It taught me techniques that will definitely benefit my writing process in the future. Such as capturing the audience and figuring out the purpose of your idea. The idea of writing a journal is helpful as well.
