This round of writings give the reader food for thought, followed by a "For Further Reflection", then a "Try This" writing prompt. The topics are varied from light to amusing to much more in-depth. The Daily Writer and The Daily Reader, both by Fred White, are written to inspire and encourage writers to write. My writing group occasionally refers to this book for ideas and inspiration. Established writers, and aspiring writers alike, will not be amiss to add this book to their shelf, however, it is better served to carry it with you each day."The Daily Writer is designed to help awaken and nurture the spiritual side of writing through daily meditation and practice throughout the calendar year." But please don't let the words "spiritual" or "meditation" fool you. You don't have to light incense and sit in the lotus position to write here. This is a very practical, helpful, and useful book.Each day consists of a described topic such as "On Serendipty," followed by a "For Further Reflection" paragraph (which I particularly enjoy), then a "Try This" section which serves as your writing prompt or action for the day. You may be asked to pull a book from a shelf, open to a random page, and write down ideas. Perhaps you may be asked to go for a walk before writing..., develop a mini-cookbook consisting of imaginary foods..., or set-up an idea file.... As I said, this is not your average writing prompt book and therefore makes it very unique.The Daily Writer gets you out of your ho-hum box and effectively sparks your creative energy.Happy Writing to All.These writing prompts are exactly the kind I need. Thought provoking. After reading reviews on writers' sites, I borrowed it from the library. And after reading it and being moved to follow through, well, that's a major plus for me. The meditations opened something in me.... As a published author, I found this book to be informative as well as entertaining. Each day on the calendar offers advice on various parts of writing, be it plotting, characterization, research, narrative, writer's block or whatever. Fred White covers the gamut of writing in short "meditations" that keep you moving along. And if the reader/writer desires, or has the time, he/she can do the suggested prompts at the end of each meditation. I found the book useful during a recently completed work-in-progress, as the meditations provided daily reminders. I've recommended this book to many fellow writers and to those considering the writing life.
