642 Things to Draw and 642 Things to Write About.

642 Things to Draw.

(Chronicle Books, Oct, 2010. 978-0811876445. Available from Amazon. Currently £8.15.)

‘This is a simple and addictive sketchbook with content. It includes many hip and entertaining things to draw including a bike, a waffle and RUN DMC.’

Novel Kicks’ verdict:

I am a natural doodler, whether I’m on the phone, watching TV or thinking through plots. I can’t draw stick men to be honest but as a writer, doodling is how I process ideas. Therefore, this book is my dream. It’s my doodles and drawings all in one place (and it means that I am not constantly trying to store or waste random bits of paper or lots of notebooks full of doodles.) In my opinion, it’s a must for all artists and writers.

In four words, I LOVE THIS BOOK.

‘All manner of creative writers will find inspiration in this book of intriguing and inspirational writing prompts, includes a letter to a person you dislike and a beginners guide to getting noticed.’

Novel Kicks’ verdict.

I am a BIG fan of writing prompts and believe them to be a help to my writing. This book has been integrated into my daily writing routine, helping to get my brain going. I think it is a must for any writer and it’s a great way to get the words down on the page. It’s a workbook so there is no need for a separate notebook.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
