I finally went to the bookstore and spent my birthday gift certificate. I am totally loving this book so far... it has some assignment, either reading or writing, to do each day. there are 365 activities, but the pages aren't dated so you can do them at your own pace. i already wrote one poem. any like minded poets interested in this book?

I have only just started this book and I already enjoy it. I wrote a poem the first day I wouldn't have written had I not had the book. I'm not super creative and prompts really help me to open that creativity door.

one of my favorite books to use with creative writing students/groups.
