Musicians practice. Athletes practice. And so, too, argues Judy Reeves, should writers practice. Her Writer's Book of Days provides a "writing prompt" for each day of the year, and then some: "Write about a time someone said yes"; "Write about leaving"; "Something seemed different." The more you practice, says Reeves, the more you write. And writing from a prompt, she adds, is like having "someone provid[e] the music when you want to dance." The prompts are the backbone of this book, but its pages are fleshed out with advice, inspiration, quotations from writers, encouragement, and a profusion of literary tidbits. Write from the sense, Reeves recommends. Audition words. Take risks. And when all else fails, amuse yourself with these astonishing tidbits from literary lives: T.S. Eliot, we learn, preferred writing with a head cold; Flaubert kept his lover's slippers and mittens in his desk drawer; and Friedrich von Schiller liked to invoke his muse by sniffing rotten apples. --Jane Steinberg

This book is wonderful for the struggling writer. In every sentence, it's full of encouragement and love for writing. It is full of practical advice, inspiring quotes, intriguing anecdotes from published writers and small to big exercises. Plus the daily prompt, of course - and I must admit that this technique of 15-minute-writing about a prompt has brought never-known sources of creativity to live in my case.
So, I recommend this book strongly to every writer who struggles with writing sometimes - which should be every single writer there is.

As a professional writer, I need this book. It reminds me that writing is about more than clawing my way up the best seller list, stroking and stoking the ego, and cashing checks that are rarely as large as I think I deserve. Writing is an art and when I put pen to paper, I am an artist. Wow. I'd forgotten that. Reeves provides prompts and inspiration that help me access the part of me that is not driven by market demands. Suddenly my metaphors are fresher; my characters stand up and sing. This book takes me beyond plot into a place where words are exciting and dangerous as they were when I was a young writer. It's the best cure I know for writer's block, writer's cramp and writer's boredom.

A review from the author of DREAMING YOUR REAL SELF and DREAM BACK YOUR LIFE.
Judy Reeves has put together an excellent collection of suggestions and wisdom for anyone who wants to write. This book is packed with delightful quotes and notes from many famous authors. In addition to the writing ideas in the text, she offers a prompt for every day of the year. These have just enough focus mixed with the right measure of ambiguity to get you writing new work that will surprise you.
Her comments of pages 97-98 on writers using their dreams resonate well with what I know about the intersection of dreaming and the creative process. For even more writing prompts, also see THE WRITER'S IDEA BOOK by Jack Heffron.
