I adore this book. I've only just started doing the writing exercises, but I've read through most of them at some point or other. There are some many interesting prompts that I can't wait to work with, although I know some will prove to be very difficult. A great resource for writers. ( )

I bought this book in hopes that it would help me work on my creative writing skills.
Sometimes it did. Most of the time the instructions and prompt suggestions were too detailed to allow me a comfortable approach to writing.
However I write and study poetry. The book may be more helpful for those who are inclined to write prose (I just don't have the stamina for that sort of thing). ( )

These "prompt" books are typically all the same, but Kiteley's is one of the better I've read. He has some great ideas in here--exercises that can produce "real" fiction that doesn't seem like the result of an exercise. ( )
