To provide the writer with a prompt, a small bump to get the creative juices flowing again.
How?
A word. A simple word is sometimes all it takes for a writer to go from wondering what to write to an idea that shows the sparks of something great.
Too many times story prompts are complicated and convoluted. They don't exactly fit into what you have in mind for inspiration. For many, it's disappointing to find writing prompts which are so specific that they wonder how they could possibly make it work for what they have in mind.
A small phrase, a simple word, added with more simple words to build an idea into something sweet is often all the writer needs.
A starting place from which to launch.
That's what this book offers. Over 700 unique words to pluck out at random. Add it to other words chosen and build, like children's toy blocks, thematic ideas, story titles, first lines for a mix and match idea machine.
With so many to choose from, you can create your own challenges to push past your writer's block, or use and modify the suggestions made in the book.
All it takes is a word to spark that first idea. The creative genius in you can do the rest if you let it. All that's left is to create your daily habit of writing. With so many lists and words to choose from, you'll have ideas for months on end.
