Summary: WOW -- great tool for writers
Comment: This little book is a wonder in itself. It is a combination book of philosopy, book of poetry, and book of inspirational ideas.
It doesn't spell out a whole scene on every page that you are encouraged to write out yourself like other idea books...it gives you a tiny snippet of an idea that you can springboard off into your own writing journey.
It does have some neat little stories and poems that are less than 1 1/2 pages long, has gorgeous black and white pictures that can prompt your imagination into a story or memory of your own, and the subtle, gentle push by the author through out the book for you to go ahead and 'take the plunge, write...!" is ambiguous enough to not sound like your mother nagging at you to get a chore done.
I like the fact the book is small--five x seven inches--and easily thrown into a purse or coat pocket.
Well done, Ms. Wood!

Summary: Like a breath of fresh air . . .
Comment: Like the popular "Little Instruction Book" craze, The Pocket Muse is a another delightful mini book that belongs on every writer's bookshelf. Better yet, keep it very close at hand, especially whenever you need to push your muse a little! Clever illustrations and photos accompany Monica Wood's writing prompts, exercises, mini lessons, cures for writer's block . . . more! There's a little bit of everything in this small package: humor, advice, wisdom, inspiration. Never stilted, never boring . . . always positive. I love it!

Summary: This Book Is a Real Treat
Comment: It's filled with great ideas, funny pictures, sound advice--I really can't think of a better book that's small enough for you to carry around with you anywhere. Also, a good conversation starter with other friends or in the coffee shop.
While flipping through this, I've come up with several different stories. Now all I need is a book to help me stay focused on one idea at a time.
