Book two of The Pocket Muse...only two...I wish this author would write MORE.
This is an aesthetically pleasing book to look at that contains advice and inspiring prompts for writers. It has great vignettes, quotes from authors, pictures, and prompts. Sprinkled throughout the book are tips on revision and style, too.
As writers we all sometimes need inspiration, and I found this to be more innovative and palatable than many other books out there. As teachers we often struggle with providing our students with authentic writing prompts that will engage them. This is a great...more

Intersting writing prompts and motivational lessons for readers. More thoughts here: http://eyesandearsblog.blogspot.com/2...
As the author notes, this is a book more about dealing with frustration and writer's block than her other books on the topic--because the author was experiencing that at the time. So there's a sense of frustration to a lot of it--could be helpful for someone else in the same situation, though...
This book really made me get off my rear and start writing again. It's short and to the point, and thats what I need. I don't want a lot of mumbo jumbo telling me how to get my mind going. Give me ideas, and I'll put my own twists on them.
I really like this little book. I have indeed come back to it again and again for inspiration. I like posting on my livejournal, and sometimes my topics get dry, so turning to books like these always helps.
It was more of how-to-write instead of writing inspiration, but the advice is really good. Really liked it, and it is settled next to the first one in reach on my bed.
I LOVED this. I connected with it more than I have most other books or sources of prompts or inspiration. This would be great in a school, too.
And a second book with photographs and writing tips & inspiration designed to please the eye with nice graphic design. Good stuff.
I love this little series. If she continues with these types of books I will buy every single one.
