It's really helped get me out of my rut. I write recreationally, as a way to recharge and keep this version of myself connected to the liberal arts student I once was. It is set up perfectly for me. I prefer to sit down and start writing randomly, letting each sentence lead to the next. I am not currently attempting an actual writing project with a plot and detailed characters and all that jazz. This journal has 642 prompts, as the title suggests. Many are first sentences, and some are more general topic ideas. I suppose you could write directly in the book, but in my opinion there isn't nearly enough space to really flush out the ideas. I prefer to copy the idea elsewhere and get down to it. Many of the prompts are common, almost everyday ideas that actually get the creativity flowing. Some are more in depth and require significantly more effort. Some examples of topics, chosen randomly as I flip through the book, are: Describe something you wanted badly and, once you got it, never used. Something you've always regretted saying. Making soup. A beginners guide to getting noticed. Death is like this... Fix the plot of the worst movie you've ever seen. Choose an obituary and write about a day in that person's life. Explain to your boss why you spent $5,000 during one business meeting and why he should reimburse you. The topics zig-zag like this across the whole journal. So far, I haven't fallen into a rut since beginning the journal. The topics are so varied, it's impossible for me not to feel inspired by at least one of them at any given moment. Some topics are very in-depth and require plenty of reflection and maybe even some research, and others are vague enough to allow for free-form, stream of consciousness type writing. I've written as little as half a page and as much as...well, a whole lot more than that. The journal spans plenty of genres. I think, no matter what your genre or writing style, you would find plenty of prompts to suit your needs. Also, plenty are vague enough that you could tailor them to your style. Probably the most exciting aspect of this journal for me is that it's jump-started my long-dormant creativity. I'm getting back into old habits again, such as carrying a notebook with me and jotting down observations and ideas. I'm also looking at elements of my life and finding new inspiration. I'm keeping a personal journal, using this journal, and looking at my life through my writer's eyes, rather than as a passive observer. Getting back to what was once such a passion and an escape for me has made the rest of my life, the "real" or "normal" part, much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this journal. If you are looking for a gift for a writer or a creative writing student, I don't think you can go wrong with this. Review: Great prompts - Love all the prompts in this journal. If facing a writer's block this is a great way to get the creative juices flowing. ## Features - Author: SanFranciscoWriters'Grotto. - Publisher: ChronicleBooks - Pages: 304 - Publication Date: 2012 - Binding: Office Product - MSRP: 16.95 - ISBN13: 9781452105444 - ISBN: 1452105448 - Language: pt - Store Location: General Non Fiction - "Book cover image may be different than what appears on the actual book." ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #47,432 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #83 in Guided Journals (Books) #87 in Fiction Writing Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,575 Reviews | ## Images ![642 Things to Write About: (Guided Journal, Creative Writing, Writing Prompt Journal) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eJsAlqXVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic! *by A***N on January 8, 2013* This journal is fabulous!

If facing a writer's block this is a great way to get the creative juices flowing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thought stimulating book *by G***Y on December 4, 2013* Fun and thought provoking. Kind of helps stimulate your thoughts and you can skip around in the book picking a prompt that sounds fun, serious, what ever you are in the mood for. I was recently in the hospital for 10 days and took this book along and it was a nice distraction and made me think of things that I had filed away in my head a long time ago. The "make believe" scenarios definitely stretch your creative writing. Give it a 4 only because there are many topics that had no interest to me, than to come up with 642 topics that all appeal to me isn't very realistic.
