A Writer’s Journal Workbook: Creating space for writers to be inspired

by Lucy van Smit

A writer will change and grow many times in their writing life. This Journal Workbook aims to champion this journey. It answers those tricky questions writers long to ask, shares secret practices to inspire their writing confidence, and free their unique gifts from common obstacles and writing worries. In this Journal Workbook you will discover surprising new techniques from acting, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality to re-wild your creativity and empower your writing craft.

Writing can seem overwhelming. You long to be a writer, but where do you start?

And how do you bridge the gap between where you are right now and where you want to go?

How do you discover your voice? What does that even mean? And what can you do to improve your writing? Or discover what you want to write about?

This is not a book about getting published or finding an agent. This is a book about finding you. Finding your voice. Trusting your talent. Your creativity. It is about putting your heart and soul into your writing practice. Do the prompts and exercises. Reflect.

This Journal Workbook will help you find that spark. This is your writing life, write it your way.

A wonderful warm hug of a book, packed with practical help and inspiring goodness.
Just the tonic to boost the moral of any writer.

When I received this from Bloomsbury, in return for an honest review, I was in a writing slump. In-between projects and side hustling like mad, and I seemed to have no space for my creative spark to catch. This was just the book post I needed - full of wisdom, practical exercises, and honesty. I'm working through the journal at my own pace, and yet there is accountability. To me! It's a win-win from that point of view. But has it worked ... YES! Allowing myself just a little space to go back to basics and write freely, with no consideration for deadlines, markets, or what social media wants me to do, has freed my brain no end!

Invaluable, thought provoking, full of insight, but above all...practically useful for writers.

I'm a few books in to my writing career. Once in a while I need to slow down, and reconnect with my writing: why I do it, how I do it, etc. That may sound a bit 'navel gazing' but it's really just about getting a fresh perspective and trying out a few things; in a word being 'playful' and this book really helped me do that.

What a helpful book! A way to feel positive about my writing, discover who I am as a person and a writer, and how I can get the best out of myself! highly recommended!
