I won an e-book
version of this book through the author’s giveaway on LibraryThing and the
following is my honest opinion.
Being a Book
Reviewer as well as an author I know firsthand how it is to sit just staring at
the blank screen of my desktop computer and not knowing what to write next.
This, for those who don’t know, is the dreaded condition of authors known as
Writer’s Block.
There are several
remedies for this condition, from going to another room to listen to one’s
favorite music, go for a walk or leisurely drive somewhere. And for others it’s
writing something in response to prompt, prompts can involve an idea or a
specific scene.
For me it’s writing
a Flash Fiction, consisting of only five sentences, to tell a story in based on
a single prompt word. At times I felt the need to increase the difficulty
present for each prompt word; and I did it by using the letters of the prompt
word as an acrostic to begin each of the five sentences to tell the story in.
Unlike the
limitation here, in writing your response to each of the 365 prompts presented
in this book you’ve got no restriction as what or how to write a response and
if you’d like, you can go back to any given prompt as often as you want. The variety
of prompts contained in the book will help get those little grey cells of your
mind working again.
For helping authors
and anyone interested in writing something either for themselves or a contest
get their creativity humming, I’m giving Ms. Divitt 5 STARS.
