I'm using this as a resource for a new writing group at the library where I work. Nifty prompts: though slightly dated, still relevant for teens and adults alike!

We got this from the library to see if it was worth buying. If you're a secular homeschooler and you need daily journaling ideas, you'll probably get a lot out of it. I wanted to like it but it didn't grab me. I can't put my finger on why. I think while reading it I drifted more toward the idea of writing based on random things that inspire us during reading time instead of calendar date.

It's *good*, it just might fit better with a child who thrives on seeing what's coming up on the schedule rather than mine, who is more like, "Hey! I really liked that book about the planets! Can we pretend we're on Mars?"
