5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun for This Writer!, October 10, 2006

By	Lauren Hidden "editor, virtual assistant, aut... (New Cumberland, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Action Packed, October 31, 2006

By	J. Gilmer "PetPassion" (US) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is chalk full of prompts and ideas to get your brain working. It is also a very visually stimulating book with it's vivid colors and all the shapes and pictures utilized throughout.

The entire book won't appeal to everyone (I don't know many that do), but it is a great book to get your brain thinking in different ways. And even if you don't like the exerices that are packed into this thick book you still can use the 'story starters' that are presented on almost every page.

It's a little pricey at $20, but all in all it's a good thought provoker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, March 22, 2006

By	Holly Love - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
