My unedited Writing Year is an outstanding book to help you write and improve your writing. Inside this book, you will find many excellent ideas on what to write about and a lot of fun activities.

If you want to improve your writing, you have to write a lot, and this book is an excellent tool to help you with that. I tried some of the ideas, and I have to try some more.

Just what is needed to prevent prevarication or at least cause it to drag its feet a little. The ideas and prompts put the mind into a writing scenario which can then be attacked without wondering or worrying about plotlines or character growth, at least for a little while.

I like the idea of having somewhere to indulge in unstructured and unhindered activities where the only objective is to put words on a page. There is no requirement to follow up if the activity didn't hold your attention nor any discouragement if one idea is run with for far longer than suggested.

All that is needed along with this excellent book is a nice new notebook and a handful of sharpened pencils. I for one can't wait to begin.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers in exchange for an unbiased review and would recommend it to anyone who wants to begin a year with a clean slate and a wealth of provided prompts.

Really fun book! There were some new activities and prompts I’ve not seen or thought to try before and it was really fun to have a little mental brain wash and clean fog out and get inspired and amped again!

DISCLAIMER: I received a digital copy of this book from NetGallery in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This book is just what I needed. I am constantly seeking journal prompts and inspiration to help me with my personal growth and writing skills.

I love the fresh ideas and perspective.

This book is so amazing that I have already pre-ordered a print version for my personal library.

This is a fantastic writer's resource. Hope Lyda has put together a workbook with a prompt for every day of the year to help spark creativity. These prompts are categorized as "Writing Practice & Nonfiction", "Life Journey," "Spiritual Inspiration" (through a Christian perspective), Fiction & Poetry," and "Creative Jump Starts." Each comes with a symbol (Writing Practice is a pencil, for example) that is organized in a table of contents for helpful reference if you wanted to jump around to a specific type of prompt.

I loved the layout of the book--every page is different and illustrated and would be perfect for those of us who like the idea of a bullet journal, but aren't that artistically inclined ourselves. I'd definitely look out for this book when it releases.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harvest House Publishers for providing this review copy.
