From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "If you're a journaler like I am, definitely worth it. I like how it gives you different prompts for every day. Things you would never even think of to expand your writing."; "I was skeptical of the cards at first but have since used them for a variety of projects to great success. For example, paired with a manual typewriter, I used different cards each week to run a writing skills clinic at a local youth club. It was so much fun to offer an easy structure to young people aged 12-15 to work on a typewriter. They put their phones down and had to deal with mistakes, rules, timing, and much more. It is great for any writing minded person or small group."; "These cards are great jumping off points to find new & surprising aspects in writing. I've written about stuff I hadn't thought of in a long time. I recommend these cards as wonderful prompts in your writing journey."
