****
There are mixed reviews on this book, and I bought the kindle version of it to help me get past my fear of a blank page and learn to write daily. I haven't used the prompts yet, but I feel they will be useful. The book does what it says it will do, but like others have said, you can find these online for free with a little effort. I just didn't want to put in the effort. I preferred getting the book and having everything available without research. I do however feel that the book is a little clunky, and could have been organized and written better. There is a page per prompt which will make the book longer when printed. I think they could have been listed and condensed onto fewer pages and this would work just as well, if not better. I wouldn't pay very much for this book because it really isn't worth it, in my opinion. There are others out there much better. Nothing new here. It was thrown together to make a quick dollar.
