5.0 out of 5 stars The best workshop!
Shery has outdone herself with this book! I took the workshop on line and am a proud contributor to the book as well. Any writer at any stage will enjoy each of the 52 weeks' worth of prompts and story ideas! The best part is being able to do any of the exercises at your own convenience.

I must say this book has brought out memories in me that I didn't remember I had...

3.0 out of 5 stars Pricey for Content
I have read a lot of things from Shery Ma Belle Arrieta, including her newsletter and trying out her WriteSparks software and have enjoyed all of her prompts and writing suggestions.

This book is no exception, as far as the prompts and writing suggestions go. There is, however, a lot of wasted pages in this book and a minor side note, the table of contents...

I must say this book has brought out memories in me that I didn't remember I had! Most were good but it also helped me get some of the bad out and down on paper, which made them so much easier to deal with. I am proud to be a part of this, and I know you will be too!

You'll never have a bad experience working with this book. It is definitely one of the best writing books I have worked with and I know it's going to go far with writers all over the world. Enjoy it!

This review is from: Weekly Writes: 52 Weeks of Writing Bliss (Paperback)
I have read a lot of things from Shery Ma Belle Arrieta, including her newsletter and trying out her WriteSparks software and have enjoyed all of her prompts and writing suggestions.

This book is no exception, as far as the prompts and writing suggestions go. There is, however, a lot of wasted pages in this book and a minor side note, the table of contents is numbered incorrectly. There are lots of blank pages and half of the book is made up of samples of other peoples' writings (which some may find inspirational, but I'd rather write my own material).

The writing prompts are good and I would suggest anyone who feels stuck or in need of some ideas read this book, but I would also suggest they find the book at a discount as the retail price is a bit pricey for the 54-56 pages worth of useful content.

This review is from: Weekly Writes: 52 Weeks of Writing Bliss (Paperback)
I took the workshop where this book was based on. I must say: this was one of the most inspired things I've ever done.
Writing was fun again.

I took the e-mail course and loved it! I am one of the contributors to the book and am very proud to have my name associated with this resource. Shery has done a fantastic job of putting together a book that any stage writer can use.

5.0 out of 5 stars A valuable tool for any writer, April 26, 2004
By 
Debbie Bailey (Staten Island, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weekly Writes: 52 Weeks of Writing Bliss (Paperback)
I've done Shery's workshop in the past and I'm looking forward to doing them again. This book is a portable writing workshop in itself. If you're stuck or just need a little boost, it's a valuable tool to have. I hope that she'll put more books out. Her prompts are encouraging and I've gotten some great inspiration from them. I recommend this book to any writer. As someone who has been published numerous times but never able to quit my "day job", my writing is such an important part of my life. Through Shery's websites and support for writers, I've found a great teacher!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, Shery never continues to surprise!, March 16, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Weekly Writes: 52 Weeks of Writing Bliss (Paperback)
I am a loyal reader/user of Shery's materials for writers. She never ceases to find new ways to open up the creative mind I never knew I had. This book is basically packed with one year worth of writing pleasures! If you're a new writer looking for learning and fun writing projects, this book is for you. If you're an experienced writer looking for self-actualizing writing projects, this book is for you. Or, if you're like I used to be, a nonwriter, this book can help you learn to find the joys of writing and self-discovery.
