SURREY, UK, October 16, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Tom Evans, the Bookwright, has created an innovative creative writing course from a completely left field perspective. His course focuses on the mechanics of tapping into raw creativity.
Tom, an Internet guru turned author, has been studying how the human mind works and, specifically, where light bulb moments come from. He has distilled what he has learned into a two day workshop and online home study course for budding authors.
The central pillar of his course is the use of Mind Mapping which synchronises both brain hemispheres to take the writer into a mode called Whole Brain Thinking. It was therefore a natural progression for Tom to adopt the brain-friendly software, Buzan's iMindMap - developed by Tony Buzan, the brain behind Mind Mapping. Tom has been using Mind Mapping for many years for both business and creative projects. He says, "At last with iMindMap, there is a software tool that isn't restricted by the rectilinear framework of a computer screen. One of the big issues with using computer-based mind mapping is that it throws the left hemisphere back into dominance which tends to block the creative right half of the brain. iMindMap is the solution to this problem."
A client who recently took the online home study course said of it.
"It is understandable, unpretentious, easy to use, easy to follow, so supportive and encouraging as well as being clear as crystal. The Mind Maps and audio visualisations are hugely helpful in their own right for anything I want to do creatively." - Jackie Walker, The Divorce Coach
The course not only deals with Whole Brain Thinking but also introduces the concepts behind Whole Mind Thinking. Tom shows you how to use a meditative technique, based on Taoist principles, to take the mind map and embed it in your cellular neurology. "The upshot of this," says Tom, "is that the author starts to notice coincidences and serendipities - snippets of useful information - that help them in writing and publishing their book. When the mind map becomes part of your neurology, you become able to tap directly into the collective mind."
Tom uses Mind Mapping techniques still further to tackle the bane of all authors, the dreaded writer's block. The left logical brain hemisphere is great at saying things like "Don't be silly you don't have time to write your book and who would want to read it anyway?"
By using Mind Maps with specific spatial and temporal layouts, authors can literally see their blocks for what they are and replace them with higher, more productive motivations. For really stubborn blocks, Tom uses hypnotherapy, time line therapy and even past life regression.
A recent attendee of his workshop in Edinburgh said, "Tom is one of the most genuine, down to earth and practical inspirers I have ever met. His workshop is a real joy and I have come away with a structured plan and even better the most perfect title for my first novel." - June Harrison Director Feng Shui Scotland.

Tom Evans, the Bookwright, is an iMindMap Licensed Instructor and Master Trainer.
He has also a published author who has written an insightful book of three interlocking life stories in poetry called 100 Years of Ermintrude. He used his expertise in Internet technology to simultaneously publish the book in print, for iPods, SmartPhones and the Internet.
His next novel called Soulwave is being published in early 2009. To this day, he can't actually remember writing his stories or where they came from. As an engineer by trade, he was so intrigued by the process that he engaged in three years research, which is ongoing, to understand how he'd done it.
He specialises in merging esoteric and exoteric techniques with modern day science and technology.
He now helps other authors all around the world to get past their blocks and release their creativity using a variety of techniques, including hypnosis and even past life regression.
From small beginnings in Guildford, he is now running his innovative workshop in Edinburgh and Dubai. To take it to the widest possible audience, it is now available as a Home Study course on the Internet that can be accessed by aspiring writers anywhere in the world.
"There is no other way to write a book. Tom injects a certain magic to the whole process. From thinking I couldn't write a book to suddenly finding the words flowing was fantastic." - Jo Simpson, Coaching and Mentoring Middle East
Tom has helped many authors to write both fiction and non-fiction works, as a mentor, editor and ghost writer and is regular contributor to radio and TV.
Tom is available for interview, contributing articles and writing columns.
