Bought this for a friend who is a budding writer. I had first seen it at an Urban Outfitters store for roughly the same price. Its a great book, nicely sized and with a whole lot of pages. The topics for writing are exciting and thought-provoking. I thought I would buy one for myself - and write on one topic a day - but then I rarely stick to such resolutions, he he. Highly recommend it!

I'm planning on participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) after reading Chris Baty's "No Plot, No Problem!" and I think this journal will be perfect help while I'm writing. Just flip through it and ideas that you hadn't thought of are right there for you, and I can feel it stimulating my creativity. It is also fun to just write things in the journal for journaling's sake. So glad I purchased this journal. It's very high quality pages and binding, and I think I'll be using it for years!

Stimulating. Funny. Creative. I am so pleased with my purchase. I was intrigued by the title and the fact that it was written in one day. Great gift for budding writers.

Would not buy again
Was disappointed. Many of the writing prompts are inappropriate. Some because they are sexual, and others are just bizarre. Read more
