Write Every Day: A Year of Daily Writing Prompts

by J.M. Snyder

Writing prompts are a great way to jumpstart your muse and get the creative juices flowing. Sometimes you want to write and don’t really know what to write about, and prompts can help guide you into a new story.

This collection of 366 writing prompts can be used daily throughout the year (leap years, too!) as a starting point to get you writing ... and keep you writing. Each day of the year has its own, unique prompt. Set a timer for fifteen or twenty minutes, and write wherever the prompt takes you. Or, if you’re between stories and looking for something different to work on, flip to the prompt for today (or any random page) and start fresh.

This book will kick-start your writing or take you in exciting new directions every day of the year!

I had this on my Kindle for about eight months last year.
I didn’t use it as a writing prompt, but for more like a daydream prompt, a dirty daydream prompt!
There is a ‘normal’ version of this, as one reviewer wrote? I read the erotic version and it was top notch.

Book 23/55 Write Every Day: A Year of Daily Writing Prompts by J.M. Snyder. I started attempting an order to my madness in writing and its writer's block by going in order but realized I also couldn't write with some of the ones I got for some days. So, instead, I went through the whole collection (both the normal and erotica versions) and wrote down in my Daydream notebook the ones I particularly enjoyed and would be exploring in my writing sessions when time permitted.

I'm not your typical erotica reader, I'm a straight guy who prefers very over the top situations, after all. But I love going to town with creative ideas on how to make arousing tales, and this is a treasure trove of ideas. Others are saying these were typical prompts, and some of them are. Heck, two prompts are actually repeated, but nonetheless, if you love creativity, this list might blow you away.

Most of the prompts were pretty mundane and typical when you think of writing prompts, but there were a good handful that grabbed my attention and imagination.

Did nothing for me. Quite literally just daily writing prompts, nothing particularly noteworthy.

[Poetic Diva504 · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a great book with writing exercises in it. If you just wanna practice the craft, this book has tons of ideas to launch your creativity. However, I would only use these exercises in a writer’s journal. I wouldn’t publish any of the scenarios this book gives, although there’s several billionaire erotica books out there I suppose. Anyway, if you’re looking to step outside of your comfort zone, this will give you the tools to practice writing better.
