This daily creative writing prompt journal is a fantastic tool for anyone looking to enhance their writing skills and spark their imagination. With 365 diverse prompts, it encourages a mix of genres and styles, making it easy to find inspiration no matter your mood. The included blank lines for responses are a thoughtful touch, allowing you to dive right in without needing extra materials. However, I found that some prompts felt a bit vague, which might leave some users wanting more guidance or specificity.

I enjoyed the writing prompts in here enough, but as someone who is constantly picking up writing reference books or googling writing prompts, I didn't find anything particularly unique here.

That being said, if you wanted to pick this up to commit yourself to a once a day writing exercise, then this would probably work well for you.

Thank you for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback! I am glad to say that this was a pretty good creative writing prompt collection. There are so many of these on the market, so you have to do something unique or special to standout. I think this was a pretty good version, and I would suggest this to people who are getting into creative writing or maybe as a potential gift.

I received an advanced reader copy of this in NetGalley. I like to write creatively, but just for fun. These exercises were challenging and entertaining to me. I noticed some areas where I struggled and some habits that I have in my writing. It was great practice for me to do a lot of these prompts.

Great for writers and folks looking for a new activity to get their creative thoughts out. One doesn't need to worry about writers block - pick a prompt and write.

I found this piece to be exceptionally well-crafted, and I'm eagerly anticipating the opportunity to delve into more works by this author. Given its potential popularity among our library patrons, we're certainly looking forward to adding it to our collection

Honestly, I really liked this and I wish I had my own copy to use and scribble on! The prompts are good and a lot of fun and great inspo to get back into the habit of doing things that are more creative!

Thank you NetGalley!

2.5 writing exercise stars, not rounded up

The ‘creative writing prompts’ are more like basic exercises than prompts. They seem quite random, not focused on building a specific skill. “Write in first person (I) the life story of an abandoned pickup truck. Describe its color size, type, interior, and perhaps the license plate.” They do mention including senses, such as smells and sounds (basics of solid writing). Sometimes prompts have extensions. There is space to pencil in when you completed the prompt. I liked that a few prompts encourage one to ‘think outside the box.’ “In a detailed list, offer five things a lizard is grateful for, ranked from minor to major.”

Unfortunately, there were many exercises that I couldn’t relate to or were not inspiring to me. “A parent discovers their young child can turn pomegranates into rubies. This must be kept a secret from a local crime syndicate…” “A child goes downstairs one night to find their cat whispering to bunnies that have come alive from the tablecloth…” 218 of these is a lot.

The introduction suggests using “these prompts to invite memory, incite poetry, or add to your novel.” If one used these to add to a novel, it would indeed be very disjointed and random, like the book.

I would rather the graphics in the book were not so pink. I think other colors would appeal more to both men and women.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

“One Creative Writing Prompt A Day,” by Lita Kurth

I loved this writing book to practice my skills. I loved that the prompts were super random and felt so new to other ones I’ve used before. Some examples of prompts used is “Describe your music- celebrity characters favorite t-shirt and a particular place they wore it” and “An artist plans to honor their mentor with a work of art. Describe the proposed work” etc. The entire book is filled with ideas like this that are so random that I really had to take time and think before writing instead of the most used and realistic things to write about. I loved this book, 5 out of 5 stars.

Thank you for the copy, Netgalley.

I really like the premise of this prompt book. I have been stuck in writer's block so prompts obviously with getting a writer unstuck. I struggle with prompts a lot when they are impractical to me or to my story/character. But I liked the structure of this being a prompt a day. However some of these prompts were questionable to me. Stuff about ghosts a my character young to psychic didn't sit right but I just skipped those!

I really enjoyed practicing my writing with those prompts! With 365 unique writing prompts, this journal provides a year's worth of opportunities to flex your writing muscles and explore new avenues of expression.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

One Creative Writing Prompt A Day is a journal with 365 writing prompts - one for every day of the year. Some prompts have a full page for you to write on, and some are four to a page, meaning some are quick and some are more detailed. Each one is very different, and some are quite quirky. I enjoyed this and had a go at a few as I read through and saved some to come back to. Even though some of them weren't really for me, there's something for everyone in this book. I loved how some of them focused on character development and not just story or plot.

I liked this a lot! It's filled with fun prompts that take me outside of the way I usually write about my characters and has helped me discover interesting sides of them.

The daily prompts are sure to get the juices flowing for the veteran rookie or wanna be writer. This will surely unclog any level of writers block. It great for writers groups of any age. I am pleasantly surprise by the range of prompts that really kicked up my imagination. #NetGalley

Get inspired and build your skills with one year of daily creative writing prompts

The best way to get better at writing? Practice! This prompt-a-day journal is designed to keep your mind moving, with 365 unique writing prompts that flex your writing muscles and boost your creativity. See what you can dream up as you experiment with imaginative imagery, comedic conversations, macabre mysteries, and beyond.

This is a good basic book for beginners but not all that practical as a ebook it didn’t work well for me like some other writing prompt books and the. Cover could have been more appealing but on the whole it’s fine.

This guided journal contains a range of creative writing prompts that vary significantly in form, style, and content. Some are light-hearted, whereas others are more serious, and the book appears to contain a decent mix of both. It would be a fun, helpful exercise for someone looking to move past writer’s block, to boost their creativity, to use with a class, etc.

This book is absolutely priceless! The prompts had me giggling and reaching for my pen before I even finished reading it. Some are thought-provoking, some lighthearted, and others laugh-out-loud funny, so much so that I started reading it out loud to my family and we all began plotting mini stories. I received it as an eBook, but I will be buying a hard copy to add to my writing books. This is a wonderful resource for anyone that writes, is thinking about writing, or for any creative mind, really. The prompts invite you to think about things on the slant, and anyone will benefit from that.

The idea is strong, but I find the writing prompts in writing magazines much stronger than the ones offered here. They may work better for others.
