    About this ebook

    Whether you write poetry, fiction, blog posts, or journal entries, you'll find inspiration in these prompts, or "nudges." Using quotes by famous poets such as Pope, Tennyson, and Longfellow as starting points, each original nudge encourages writers to answer questions, devise scenarios, or examine dilemmas to get the words flowing. Exercises can be used for individual writing practice or in group settings and can also serve as tools in character development for short stories and novels.
