Publisher Comments:

Playwright and editor Judy Reeves has taught writing, led creative writing workshops, and participated in writing groups for years. A Writer’s Book of Days is a compilation of all that she’s learned from getting together to write with other people. She says, “the book came about because I saw the difference ongoing, regular practice could make in a writer’s life.” Practice makes perfect, and this book makes practice easy by providing writers and would-be writers with stimulating topics, helpful instruction, monthly guidelines, dozens of inspiring quotes, writerly lore, and tips for special writing sessions such as marathons, cafe writing, and other ways to make the work of writing more creative and fun.

Synopsis:

Practice makes perfect, and Reeves makes practice easy by providing would-be writers with 365 stimulating topics, helpful instruction, monthly guidelines, and dozens of inspiring quotes. 25 two-color illustrations.

Pat Shepherd, January 26, 2009 (view all comments by Pat Shepherd)
All I had to do was glance through this book, and I knew it held the perfect response to my constant whine: "But I can't think of anything to write about. Wahhh." Ms. Reeves provides a topic for every day of the year--including Leap Year. So there's never a dearth of things to write about. And the topics are not "What I did on my summer vacation." Rather they're real memory-joggers. "She was standing in the doorway. . . " Why, that one alone could keep me busy for a week! And there's monthly discussions of all things authorial--just in case one (or more) of your little essays strikes you as needing a wider audience. For anyone who thinks there might be some words inside clamoring to come out, Ms. Reeves is the perfect can-opener.
