Create a Story Review & GIVEAWAY

Beat writer's block! Get your pen moving with Create a Story: A Prompt Journal to Help You Write a Story. It's another of the guided journals just released in the Creative Keepsakes series from the Editors of Chartwell Books. It features 200 creative writing exercises divided into 10 genres - Historical Fiction, Mystery & Suspense, Romance, Life Experience, Comedy, Fantasy, Action & Adventure, Horror, Science Fiction and Western. Exploring different genres can make you a stronger writer. Each of the one-page writing exercises is arranged as follows. At the top is a story idea. At the bottom is a list of 15 words. Use them in your story or just for brainstorming. The rest of the page is lined for writing on. For ease of use the journal generally stays open when you lay it flat. Writing prompts can help you become a better writer by providing a story idea and writing practice. See some sample pages below. Guided journals make great gifts. I`m giving this one to my boyfriend. Chartwell Books released this 204 page paperback on April 27, 2021. Get your copy below!
