I've recently purchased THREE books with writing prompts. I can always write about my inner thoughts, goals, or musings. I also have colored pencils and markers to doodle for creativity and focus.

My challenge is to write on my current projects. I have thoughts and pieces of stories bubbling in my head all the time. They may not be ready to put to paper.

If I could give advice on writing and over-coming a block, it would be two-fold. Find prompts to get you through the moment and have more than one project going. (less)

I feel bad about giving an author a bad review, but when I saw she had written extensively…dozens of books…I felt like she should be better from practice alone. This could have been a cute premise, but it was poorly executed. Very poorly. The MFC was ...more
