With Take Ten for Writers , it's never been easier to get creative Each of the 100 exercises in this jam-packed inspirational resource comes with 10 different variables, so every exercise can be done... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I am a frustrated writer, or more accurately, a frustrated workaholic who'd love to write more. This book hit all the right notes in my mind. It abandons the classic approach of journaling to take you on new, fun and creative adventures in short focused writing. The exercises presented are well structured to get you writing right away. I was doing my first Take Ten exercise during a short business flight the day after I bought the book and felt an immediate rush of creative endorphins. My wife and I have done exercises and shared the results as well. I have many writing books in my collection, some scholarly, some well defined examinations of the craft, some very practical guidelines. The thing that sets this book apart is that it's fun, makes writing fun, and gets me doing what all the world's dailies keeps me from getting to. Putting pen to paper, creating and learning as I do it. The exercises are short enough to fit into any busy schedule, but they have also spawned seeds of works I'd like to take further. I wish I could thank the author personally, because she's opened up a door that I thought was locked tight.

Although, I find this book to be almost like the first one... "The write-brain workbook," unless it is meant to be a further addition to it? It is a great book to help beginning and advance writers' expanding their ideas on paper. I have found this book to be useful in creating short stories to writing a personal narrative with in the 1000 fresh, inventive, and creative prompts available.
