After jumping around through the digital version of this book, I have decided I like Reeves's approach. I'm going to buy myself a physical copy of the book and a couple of notebooks (okay, so I don't need more notebooks, nor do I need more excuses to buy notebooks, but I'm going to buy some anyway) and try to make 2023 the year that I reestablish a daily writing practice. I did Morning Pages for years, but I like the focus of daily prompts. ( )

A really good source for ideas when I'm having trouble getting started writing. The author provides a short topic for each day of the year; she also provides writing tips. ( )

Epigraph
"The writer, perhaps more than any of his fellow artists, has access to the human subconscious. His words sink deep, shaping dreams, easing the pain of loneliness, banishing incantations and omens, keeping alive the memories of the race, providing intimations of immorality, nourishing great anticipations, sharpening the instinct for justice, and imparting respect for the fragility of life.  These functions are essential for human evolution. Without them, civilization becomes brittle and breaks easily. Society must be measured, therefore, not just by its display of power but by its attention to the conditions of creativity and its acceptance of human sovereignty as the highest value." -Normin Cousins
Dedication
This book is dedicated to all the Brown Baggers, Thursday Writers, and Marathoners who have put pen to page and to the spirit and memory of The Writing Center
First words
Last Tuesday at my regular Brown Bag Writing Group, the topic was "write about footprints."
