"One minute of daily writing is better than twenty minutes every two weeks--let this fun and helpful handbook of quick, easy writing prompts show you why short bursts of writing are essential to flexing your creative muscles to create your best work! Are you a "would-be" writer? That is, someone who wants to write, but finds themselves too busy, too tired, or just uninspired. The 1-Minute Writer has the solution to all of those problems and shows you that you can start writing--and keep the creativity going--every day, no matter how little time you have. The 1-Minute Writer includes writing prompts you can complete while standing in line for coffee, riding the subway home after work, waiting for your kid at the dentist--and everywhere in between. Each prompt has four variations: a one-minute prompt, a five-minute prompt, a ten-minute prompt, and a twenty-minute prompt. You can choose prompts based on both the time you have available and the kind of writing you'd like to do. Watch the words pour out of you when you realize just how easy writing is when you tackle it in manageable chunks! There are a lot of writing books out there--maybe you've tried some before--but none quite like The 1-Minute Writer. Let these brief prompts encourage and empower you to become the writer you've always known you are!"-- Provided by publisher.

Useful Writing Prompts submitted by Meginator on August 27, 2022, 6:20pm This book of writing prompts is built around a simple idea: even one minute of writing can result in a worthwhile moment of creativity. The book is divided into broad sections, with thematic prompts provided for one, five, ten, and twenty minutes of writing. The prompts are nicely varied, and even the sillier ones can lead to some interesting results or at least a few minutes of fun. I didn’t personally connect with a lot of the themes and prompts in this book (and thus didn’t use it as much as I wanted to), but the theory is solid and the book is a great resource for anyone looking to start a writing habit without a major, terrifying commitment to a larger project.
