“In a writing emergency, grab this book!” — Tom Jacobson

*

“In highly entertaining fashion, Aaron Henne prods, charms and cajoles the reader through roughly 80 writing exercises designed to free the spirit. Both lighthearted and thoughtful, the book’s goal is to help each of us find our play by asking the right questions of ourselves and of the world.” — Oliver Mayer

“You Already Know ingeniously uses exercises to end-run the enemies of creative freedom (intellectual over-analysis, fear, self-doubt, a tendency to get stuck in familiar patterns) and open the heart and mind of the artist to fresh, imaginative possibilities.” — Michael Michetti
