52 Weeks of Horror

Tired of endless lists of uninspiring prompts? Then you should buy 52 weeks of Horror, a book in which 52 expertly selected and detailed Creative Writing prompts are combined with piercing and insightful questions and activities. After each prompt you will be asked a short series of questions about your work, and after each four week block you will be given more reflective tasks which will help you develop a unique and confident writer's voice. You will be asked to remix stories, to borrow characters and swap genres around, and to find out what works for you.

This is more than an ordinary prompt book, it is your ticket to becoming a better writer.

This paperback edition doubles as a Creative Writing journal, with just enough space to jot down your ideas, and 'story shape' graphs to help you envision the universes you are creating.

From the introduction:
"For this book I created a list of deceptively simple and piercing questions that will not only give you a deeper insight into your own writing processes, but that will inspire you to continue to find more insights in the future. These questions are inspired by my work running a Creative Writing society, and from my experience on a Creative Writing Master's degree. My mum told me to brag about that. Hi mum.

I settled on 52 prompts because one a week should be a manageable goal for most writers. This way you can put more effort into each prompt, and get more creative sustenance out of it than you would have done managing a larger quantity of smaller projects. For this reason the prompts are written in a way that encourages detailed storytelling, and each comes with a set of reflective questions and space for planning. There are also additional activities at the end of each 4 week block, allowing you to chart your progress as a writer over time. You can use this data to plot your trajectory, and work out where you think you might be going. This method works for me, and I believe it will work for you too."

52 weeks of Horror is a mix of workbook, prompt book and self help book. Once you own this book you will become your own tutor, dragging yourself from creative blocks into a new, more productive reality.
