Reviews

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

I am SO excited and honoured to have received an ARC from the publisher/author (who in full disclosure is a good friend of mine). 2025 has been a YEAR! It has been both good and bad year - and that goes for my writing life as well. I have not written anything new this year and so Anne Marie's book is the motivation I need for 2026. If nothing else I will have 366 drafts started next year, which is beyond cool. I will be reviewing this book quarterly/seasonally on how my progress as a writer is going and how the book has helped me (and all the regularly reviewing of any book). Follow along on my blog My Novelesque Life - which will be restarting on January 2026.

[Talicha Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a great book! I am someone who often needs the nudge of a prompt to get started with writing...and this book is full of so many nudges! It's also really great to get all the extras around the prompts, like background information and fun facts about them. I appreciate the work that went into giving us 366 thoughtful starting points. Writers of all levels will find this to be a valuable resource!

Writers need this book, it is such a cool tool! You can use it however you want, follow along daily or skip around. Between the fun facts, anecdotes and banger prompts, what is not to love?
