101 Creative Writing Exercises (Adventures in Writing) Paperback – February 3, 2012

I use this as a supplement in a creative writing class. Inexpensive, but gives newcomers a little general overview of terms or devices, but then gives a variety of fun prompts -- there is one for every writing style.

I love how this book is set up to give you great activities to do with creative writing. It is very helpful for a teacher trying to find exciting ways for students to write.

I use a lot of Melissa's writing tips for personal and professional projects. I really enjoyed 101 because of it concise approach in introducing each exercise. I read the book first and noted specific exercises that interested me. The practice work and discipline required for each activity carried over to other writing tasks including our writing group. Good for experienced or novice writers. In summary, it rally is a writing coach and a lot of fun.

This is one of the best writing exercise books I have ever seen!! It's not the same type of prompts that are everywhere. She writes well herself and inspires interest in the exercises. When I sit down and write one, it often expands into a short story or essay. Even when they are similar to some I have seen and done before, they are different because of the way she presents them. This has been a great addition to my writing journey.

This book could well be used as a course study for anyone who wants to try a hand at writing or to improve writing skills. The book is broken down into several topics including freewriting, journaling, fiction, storytelling, etc. Along with each topic discussed there is an exercise to complete. Great for anyone who wants to a new twist on just about every type of writing there is.

I bought this for my aspiring younger author, but this may have been a bit too old for her. She hasn't showed much interest in it.

The daily exercises are fun, creative, and challenging. Its really opened me up to more creative possibilities thank you so much.

This book has a plethora of ideas to help you develop your writing skills. I think it is beneficial for writers of all ages and writing levels.
