Writer’s Block Workbooks

“With three-sentence starts for each day there is definitely going to be something there to grab your attention! 

It’s not just sentence starters though, there are tips to help you write from different points of view. Fabulous POV explanations are provided as well as tips in the use of tenses in writing.

 I really enjoy using tools like this for myself and also with some of the groups I run at work (using writing as a means of exploring self advocacy and confidence building). They are a great tool for people of all abilities and make for a really inclusive facilitator method.”

“Looking at a white page, the brightness reflecting the blankness in your mind? 

Reach for this book, find today and start playing with the words offered. Write them out and look. There, your page isn’t blank, the whiteness has learned to hold type. You have started so now you only need to keep going. Let the prompt words frolic in your mind, see where a prompt can take you.

Each week you get a useful tip too. This is a lovely example of an author helping others to overcome white page paralysis.”

“This book does it for you. The sets of words are set out in groups of seven; in other words, a week at a time, with a writing tip based around one of the week’s words. 

For writers, it can be an essential nudge in the right/write direction and, as such, its value shouldn’t be underestimated.

The author undersells the book, though. As a former English teacher, what I would have given for a book like this – caught short of a lesson plan, too exhausted to think of anything, just get the kids writing – I would have grabbed this eagerly.”

“This is a fantastic book. The book is easy to follow, with three prompts for everyday and you can do just one, two or all of them. 

What I like is that the prompts are designed to test you. You have to vary your writing preferences and try something new, I tend to always write in the third person, and thanks to this book I am now experimenting with different passages, different perspectives and this helps me to look at writing in a new light.

I also love the weekly tips, I learned a lot from reading these. It is interesting information that just adds to a writer’s arsenal. Thoroughly recommended for writers of any level.”

“The writing tips were probably my favourite part of the book. Some of them were ones that were not news to me, but some really made me think, and a lot of them will provide a very useful checklist in the process of editing my current WIP, so much so that I am going to summarise them in an editing reference document. For a small volume, this definitely packs a big punch.

This is a great little workbook for any writer who sometimes needs a little push to get the pen to the page, or for anyone who wants an odd thought or sentence from a third party that might spark that new creative connection in their brain that leads to a great piece of writing. A useful tool to have in your writer’s toolbox.”

“After reading only a few prompts, my mind is buzzing with lots of story ideas already. Morgen uses a few words to kickstart ideas, leaving the rest up to your imagination which is how it should be – I don’t want to re-write another author’s work and ideas – I just need a little help to create “original” ones. 

As a newbie writer I liked the intro that Morgen gave on first, second, third person perspectives, past and present tenses and how they can all be used to mix-and-match for even more new ideas. I also liked the “tip of the week” which helps to keep you on the right track and avoid new-writer mistakes.”
