A Writer's Book of Days:
A Spirited Companion and Lively Muse for the Writing Life
I have just started using this book for writing practice and so far I ***love*** it. I've also joined two mailing lists for people using the book:
Daily Writing Practice
Writers' Book of Days 2002
Care to join in?
So far, I've only done two days of practice using the prompts in this book, and got good results both times. Both writing sessions produced wonderful scenes I can use in my novels... one for my novel-in-progress, "Escape from the Hills of Pravado" ... and the second night I got a cute scene I can use in a novel I have in the planning stage, called "Swallows Nest". It feels good to get such great scenes going - I'll just insert them into my novels in appropriate places.
The second one was so amusing - it was about a young man trying to get a girl to give him a kitten. I knew my kids would like it because they like anything about cats (or dogs) so I read it out loud to the family.
The book isn't just for novelists, however. Each writer can do any kind of writing they like to do - fiction, non-fiction, and any other type of conceivable thing (use your imagination). I just happen to be focused on novel writing just now, so that's what I'm writing when I practice. #
