Create a Story is a book of prompts on different subjects to get you started on a writing quest. The prompts are varied, and some are quite inspiring while others are a little dull and disappointing. I did think the format was a bit wasteful as there would never be enough room on a single side to write anything significant, however the word bank for each prompt was very good. It would have been better to include more prompts and allow the writer to use a separate notebook. Overall a good idea that might kick start a writer or two.

A collection of various writing prompts along with keywords relating to those prompts. The prompts themselves are varied but there is not much space allotted for the reader to actually write much down. This book would be a good gift/purchase for someone who enjoys writing or those looking for an interesting journaling activity, but I would not recommend this for library purchase due to the high potential for markup of the book.

Thought this was a wonderful prompt book! Loved the prompts but thought it was ingenious to include a list of words to use. Can't wait to use it with my Library's writing group. Tons and tons of ideas in this book!

**I received and voluntarily read an e-ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.**

I had hoped for a few tips and tricks that I could add to my writing arsenal, but it was a great book full of writing prompts.
Overall, a great book for writers who are looking for some prompts to get their creative juices flowing.

CREATE A STORY
by the Editors of Chartwell Books
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Now, I didn't read the description properly; I thought this was a book of advice, hints, and tips, about writing your own book.
Well it wasn't, but I wasn't disappointed either.

What you get is a book published by the Editors of Chartwell Books, where each page tasks you with writing a short story. The majority of each page is lined for you to write on, and there are a collection of keywords which you should include. And there are literally hundreds of stories for you to create.

Here's an example page:
"Write a story about a spy in the court of Genkis Khan"
"Use these words in your story: mongol, invader, burn, expand, horde, gold, treasure, feast, lie, tribe, pain, magic, spirit, horses, warrior"

I can certainly see how this book would inspire your imagination and creativity, and although my ARC is an ebook, I'll still be having a go at some of these.

This book will help anyone struggling with creative ideas for their 'work in progress', and I'm happy to recommend it. I gave this book four stars.
