My Review

I've been following 52 weeks of writing for a couple of months now. Each week you are encouraged to get into good habits by setting goals. There is a weekly chart where you can schedule when you are going to try and fulfil these goals and then the following week there is a review process. 

The journal and planner is designed to make you evaluate where you are going with your writing and what is stopping you. There are some great writing prompts and you never know where these will take you. One of them, for example, led to a piece on memory for my MA course.

Having used the online version, I feel the printed version that you can physically write in would be more effective. The only downside that I can see is the huge size of the book which makes printing costs expensive. 

I will continue with the journal as many of the exercises are quite enlightening and I sometimes found that the goals I set were not actually the goals I really wanted to set for myself, so it has created a noticeable difference in both what and how I write.
