Look Inside: 101 Writing Prompts - A Digital Workbook

My new, 100% paperless digital writing workbook is out now! 🥳 Find it here!

The 101 Writing Prompts digital workbook is a PDF workbook where writers can write their prompt responses directly in the file, without the need for opening another word processing software or grabbing a notebook and pen. You can save your workbook with all your prompt-based stories on it, and edit them whenever you like!

Because there is no sample provided, I decided to take you into the workbook to get a look at how it works and what you can expect.

📖First of all, here's what a prompt page would look like in the workbook (for this example, I have opened it with Adobe Acrobat Reader). I wanted to keep the workbook simple and distraction-free, but the bright colors are meant to engage the mind.

 

When you start editing the page and writing your prompt response, it will look something like this (again, on Adobe Acrobat Reader). As you can see below, when you select a box, it is no longer a light blue color. When unselected, the box goes back to being light blue. The scroll bar will automatically pop up when you need it, and you can work without distraction. ⌨️

📁You can save your workbook after any edits you make, so you don't have to worry about losing your work. This usually means that you'll save over the PDF file you already have, which is fine. When you load it again, here's what the pages you have worked on will look like:

 

Notice in the above images that the tracking box in the bottom right corner of the page can be used however you see fit. Originally, I designed it to be for dates, so you would write down the date of completion. Then I realized that everyone would probably want to track their own progress differently, so you can use that box with any tracking method you wish. For example, you can use a simple Yes/No entry to show whether you've completed writing that prompt-based story or not. Or, you can get more detailed and use labels like Drafting, Editing, or Completed. It's up to you! ✒️

Last but not least, I've also tested the workbook on Firefox browser for those who don't use Adobe Acrobat Reader. It looks a bit different (ex. the default font is different), but otherwise works completely. When saving from the browser, you will need to download the workbook again from your browser. 💾

A note: You don't need to be connected to the Internet to use this workbook. You can open it on a browser without connecting to the Internet. This should help you stay focused if the Internet distracts you. 👍

And voila! There are a few more features to be found in this workbook, namely a Writing Tips and Tricks section that gives you a small handful of guiding tips for when you might feel stuck or want something more challenging and robust to work on. 💁

At the end of the workbook, there's a link to a survey. This is the first edition of this digital workbook, and I hope to make many more in future. To ensure that I'm creating something that adds the best possible value to writers, I'd love your input in the form of feedback after using this workbook. Any comments, concerns, suggestions, or thoughts you would like to share can also be shared in this survey. You are in no way obligated, but I would appreciate it if you would please take a few minutes of your time to answer the survey if you do purchase the workbook. 😊

I hope this look inside the 101 Writing Prompts digital workbook has explained how it works, what you can expect, and how to make best use of the functions. 

You can buy the book here.
