highly recommended

Outstanding book

This is wonderful for kicking of thoughts or story ideas with a suggested topic for each day. Fantastic!

A practical device.

I've bought the book and skim read it. It is great. The author must be commended for a thoughtful and measured, realistic and practical approach.

Though I find the type-face gives me the screaming heebee jeebees!

I bought another book: Becoming a Writer, by Dorothea Brande. This is highly readable and recommended also. Approaches writing from a curious perspective. Very well done!
With these two books alone, almost anyone with a sincere desire to write, will. As opposed to the poor souls who crave the adulation of being a writer but never do more than whine about it.

Great Help to Young Writers

This book is an excellent tool for the young writer. It gets you writing every single day with all kinds of helpful prompts. Also in this book are helpful hints, looks at how other writers work, quotes, and exercises. This is by far the most useful book on writing I have bought thus far. I highly recommend it for writers who want to write everyday, but struggle with it and don't want to keep an actual journal. Through these exercises, I have had more story ideas this month than I did all of last year.

like an old friend....

This book is one of my favorites. The author has such a friendliness about her writing, as if she is holding a conversation with you over a cup of coffee.
Her writing prompts are creative and lively, and will get you writing.
I love the quotes. Just about every page has a quote from a well known writer about writing.
Judy has plenty of advice in this book. She also fills it with hers, and others writing experiences.
Although the book is arranged so that it follows the twelve months, it doesn't have to be read that way. Many times I've just flipped to a page and started reading. I always came out of it inspired and ready to write.

Playwright and editor Judy Reeves has taught writing, led creative writing workshops, and participated in writing groups for years. A Writer?s Book of Days is a compilation of all that she?s learned from getting together to write with other people. She says, ?the book came about because I saw the difference ongoing, regular practice could make in a writer?s life.? Practice makes perfect, and this book makes practice easy by providing writers and would-be writers with stimulating topics, helpful instruction, monthly guidelines, dozens of inspiring quotes, writerly lore, and tips for special writing sessions such as marathons, cafe writing, and other ways to make the work of writing more creative and fun.
