Are you already working on a book or another writing project and wondering if 365 Days of Writing can help? I’m almost certain it will. It will tremendously train your writing muscles. Plus, it’s both fun and healthy to do some ‘free’ writing alongside your manuscript to keep the soil of your mind tilled.

What you can also consider, especially if you’re writing fiction and working with characters, is to do the writing prompts from the perspectives of your characters. This approach can also apply to autobiographical projects—I always advise my writing students to view themselves and the people they write about as characters. The prompts will surely open doors and tap into memories you might otherwise overlook.

In other words, yes, I believe it can be very helpful! Of course, it will take some time, but you can view those ten minutes as a warm-up. And you don’t have to write every day. You can collect the prompts and use them as a database to draw from whenever you want.
