The 365 day writer's block workbook

Over a thousand sentence starts, three per day, with writing tips at the end of each week to motivate and inspire, providing kick-starts to avoid the dreaded ‘writer’s block’. Useful for any writer at any level, whether they have 10 minutes or 10 hours, to start a new project. Also an ideal tool for writing groups.

With a combination of six first-person, six second-person, six third-person and three non-specific point of view starts per week, there are plenty to choose from. Beginning at ‘Day 1’ this book has been designed to be started at any time of the year, and regardless of whether the sentences are used in order or not. With a choice of three per day a writer can select one, two or all and see where it leads them.

My Review

This is a fabulous writing aid. There are three sentence starts for each day of the year; some in first person, some in third person. The writing tips I found extremely useful and this is a book I will be dipping in and out of as the need arises. Excellent for writers' block, of course, but also useful for honing your skill, writing a piece of flash fiction or pushing yourself to write outside your comfort zone. Now I need it in paperback.
