Great Fun for This Writer! October 10, 2006
Format:Paperback
As a non-fiction writer, it's all too easy for me to fall into a routine with my writing. I heard Bonnie speak at a writers' workshop recently, did one of the sample exercises, and was hooked. The exercises have been fun, and not only is it "forcing" me to be more creative, but it's also therapeutic, as I often seem to be writing about pet peeves or challenges on my mind. :)

I like the fact that these are short exercises. And I also like writing in the book with a pen in a comfortable spot, instead of my fingers frantically flying across the keyboard. The exercises are definitely carrying over into my work as I think of new ways to write about ordinary topics.

As a bonus, the pages are beautifully designed. A really unique book!

Outstanding! March 22, 2006
Format:Paperback
I'm an essayist and columnist, and sometimes I think, maybe I've already written about all the ideas I can come up with. That's where this book reigns supreme. All I do is open it, read an exercise or two, and I can skip over the weeks of deliberation about "what to write about next" - and get right to the writing. The book is a gold mine for anyone wanting to get over writers block. I highly, highly recommend it!

I was really disappointed in this book. Out of 366 exercises, maybe five were helpful. It was silly. Very silly. If my writing were a type of food, what would it be?? Is she serious? The first lines she gave as beginners for the exercises were, quite often, lines that I would hope NOT to see in a book I was reading. I almost expected to come across the line "This one time, at band camp, I..."

Her encouragements may be helpful to others, but I personally would not be helped by standing in my shower and yelling "I am a writer!" at the top of my lungs. I'll admit, at least part of my irritation is that the writer of this book is entirely too sunshiney for my taste. A positive attitude is a good thing, but I think she went overboard on the "self-love".

This book was not my idea of helpful. Not at all. Go for the 3 AM Epiphany if you're having trouble finding ideas.
