Robin Woods has composed
another workbook sure to prompt a few excellent novels from writers!
I had the pleasure of reviewing
Prompt Me Again! And gladly accepted Robin’s invitation to examine
another of her workbooks for writers.
Prompt Me Novel is the sixth installment in her Prompt Me Series.
She created the series for beginner and veteran writers serious about improving
their technique. Through carefully thought out and scaffolded activities,
writers will lay a solid foundation for their manuscript they can be proud of.
Like its predecessors, Robin
arranged Prompt me Novel into sections chock full of resources
appropriate for an aspiring or experienced writer. In this version, the
chapters are laid out by story element: plot, conflict, setting, point of view,
character, and emotions.
Each segment has insightful
tips and resources that will push your storytelling to the next level. The
final chapter, Reference, is packed with recommendations to stay on task, frequent
writing errors, and alternative word choices to pump up your writing.
The workbook would make a
wonderful addition to a writer’s group or as a supplement to any English or
Creative Writing classroom. (FYI: Robin Woods is a high school and university
English and literature instructor, so she knows how to design a rigorous writing
module.)
There are also diagrams to
outline detailed story maps, lists of plot and character archetypes, character
building worksheets, examples from master writers, and so much more.
As a creative writer and a former teacher, I very much recommend this book
for any classroom and aspiring author.
I give it 5 Lemon Drops!
