Often, writing prompts are just artfully disguised procrastination tools we authors use to avoid doing the real work of writing our stories. This journal offers authors a different kind of writing prompt: one that allows you to start writing with purpose, that empowers you to get closer to your novel, your characters, your world, and your writing practice, itself.

The exercises in 100 Writing Prompts to Drive Real Progess on Your Work in Progress are divided into five categories, so you can easily find the inspiration you need to kickstart your writing, no matter where it’s stalled:

• Enhance Your Writing Practice

• Generate New Ideas

• Get Unstuck

• Build Your World

• Get to Know Your Characters

The 100 prompts in this book will help you develop a more sustainable writing practice, generate ideas robust enough to inspire a whole novel, and unlock the blocks in your current work in progress.
