Not really what I was looking for

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was looking for something quirky and snappy to help me do quickie fiction-writing exercise sessions at night. This isn't it. Only part of the book deals with fiction prompts, the rest are nonfiction or journaling.
And the fiction prompts... yikes. Super vague or seem to require long-form storytelling to accomplish. That's way too much braining for a quickie session.

Nothing wrong with any of that, of course. I'm sure it's good for something, just not specifically what I was hoping for.

Practical Journal Prompts and More

I am writing this review after reading and using many of the journal prompts. The book is conveniently divided into three sections: fiction, poetry and nonfiction prompts. It is an easy read, is suggested to highlight favored prompts. The variety and creativity of some of the prompts provides an excellent.resource for priming our own creative juices. The book is easily adaptable for solo, group and classroom projects. I enjoyed the book and started a list writing topics after reviewing the different sections.

This book is a Godsend

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is a Godsend. I have the grammatical aspect of writing down, but sometimes the ideas just aren't there. I have spent the last several years combing the web trying to find good story starters and writing prompts but have never been able to find more than a few here and there.

By the first page, I realized that I will probably never have to look elsewhere. I didn't find myself skipping over them to get to the good prompts... they are ALL good. Well developed. Unique. Interesting. Everything I was looking for.

I am 100% satisfied and would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling to find the right story to tell.

So many ideas, so little time to write!

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is exactly what it claims to be: 1200 prompts. If you're hoping for a bonus introductory chapter with creative writing tips or suggestions for better writing, then you may be just a little disappointed. You'll get over it quickly, though, once you dive into the prompts themselves. I found my head swimming with tons of ideas branching off in all sorts of different directions as I read them. Some of the prompts I've used exactly as they are presented in this text, but for the most part, I've found them very flexible for combining, altering, expanding.... Some of them also reminded me of old writing ideas I'd once had but had forgotten. If the point of the book is to get you thinking so you can write freely, then it is more than successful in achieving its purpose.

This book is fantastic!

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

I give this book 5 Stars and highly recommend it to all fiction, nonfiction, and poetry writers, aspiring writers, bloggers or journalists. It is very well organized and includes something for everyone. The author thoroughly covers all genres. I am writing fiction, but read the chapters for poetry and nonfiction and found great ideas in these sections as well for future projects. I was amazed at the creative, diverse number of high-quality prompts and ideas. It has become my go-to book when I need inspiration. This book is a must have for any writer.

This is just the book I needed! I am a beginning writer who is constantly stuck on coming up with ideas to begin short stories in my practice writing. I am so excited to have found this easy to read, right to the point arrangement of story ideas. I find it useful to begin a story, and also to move the story along in the middle. Thanks, Ms. Donovan for such a thoughtful sharing of ideas!

This book has really helped me when I've been planning the workshops that I facilitate. My students love the prompts that I give them as homework, and they have helped pave the way for some excellent pieces of work by them.
