The Writer's Lab : "This is a seriously amazing vault of excellent writing exercises. I liked everything about this book: the black-and-white minimalist design of the pages! the imaginative quality of the exercises! and the many ways in which the author pushes you to practice not only the art but the more difficult aspects of it. This one is going with me on my road trip! and I expect I'll be filling up the pages in no time. Definitely recommended for any writer who enjoys challenges! wants to improve their craft and have fun in the process." -- Lynn Viehl ! New York Times bestselling author "[ The Writer's Lab ] has a lot of questions and exercises that get your inner writer moving which not only helps you ask the right (or write) questions but gives you a whole host of new ideas to explore as well as helping you improve the skills that you're developing. It's a great little tool and to be honest when dressed up in the fun way that they've done with this feels more like taking a break than doing any real work. All round a cracking title and one I'll use each time I get stuck. Great stuff." -- The Falcata Times ...
