I was lucky enough to have received a copy of the beautiful book – that cover is amazing, don’t you think?!?!
And so far I’ve had fun working my way through some of the many writing exercises.
After having an initial read of the first couple of chapters I opted to use the book in a dip in dip out nature. I haven’t been doing a daily exercise, but I’ve been using the prompts a couple of mornings a week when I’ve sat down and the words for my current WIP haven’t flown as easy as I would have liked. So far the exercises have been a lot of fun. And they have been far too varied to sum up in a sentence or two, which is great. I imagine that the book would suit most writers.
Below I’ve posted an example of just one of my favourite prompts so far…
And the book contains many, many more great writing exercises.
The book is good and I will continue to use it. I was delighted to take part in the blog tour and thank you for my gifted copy.

About the author:
Award Winning Author Wendy H. Jones lives in Scotland, and her police procedural series featuring Detective Inspector Shona McKenzie, is set in the beautiful city of Dundee, Scotland. Wendy has led a varied and adventurous life. Her love for adventure led to her joining the Royal Navy to undertake nurse training. After six years in the Navy, she joined the Army where she served as an Officer for a further 17 years. This took her all over the world including Europe, the Middle East and the Far East. Much of her spare time is now spent travelling around the UK, and lands much further afield. As well as nursing Wendy also worked for many years in Academia. This led to publication in academic textbooks and journals. Killer’s Countdown is her first novel and the first book in the Shona McKenzie Mystery series. Killer’s Crew won the Books Go Social Book of the Year 2107. There are now six books in this series with Killer’s Crypt being released in August 2017.
