A Writer's Book of Days, revised editionAbout the Book:

A Writer’s Book of Days is a holistic approach to being a writer that encompasses the physical, emotional, and spiritual as well as the creative aspects of writing.

Evocative daily writing prompts – culled from hundreds of writing workshops – open the door to your own creative process, leading you to better writing. To create new or enhance existing stories, poems, or writing of any kind, all you have to do is set a date for writing practice, open your notebook, and begin writing.

You’ll learn:

  • The ten daily habits that make a good writer
  • What stuck looks like and how to get unstuck
  • How to tell when the critic, censor, or editor is present and what to do about it
  • How to transfer real life into fiction
  • Where to find fresh images
  • How to discover what you really want to write about.

A Writer’s Book of Days can be counted on for encouragement, motivation, cheering on, and a never-ending supply of great ideas. It’s a best friend, creative partner, and a portable muse all rolled into one.
