My Year of Writing
My Year of Writing helps your teen build one of the most important writing skills of all: the habit of writing regularly. Instead of focusing on formulas, lengthy assignments, or rigid instruction, this journal uses 365 creative prompts to make writing feel approachable, engaging, and surprisingly fun.
The prompts are varied, imaginative, and often unexpected. One day, your teen might rewrite a fairy tale in 50 words, invent a business, answer a thought-provoking question, imagine a new invention, or respond to a prompt that sparks humor, creativity, or personal reflection. The variety keeps the experience fresh and helps eliminate the dreaded "I don't know what to write" problem.
Because each prompt stands alone, there's no pressure to work through the book in order. Some entries may take only a few minutes, while others can grow into longer writing sessions when inspiration strikes. The flexibility makes it easy to adapt the journal to different schedules, writing abilities, and personalities.
Many teens who groan at formal writing assignments will happily respond to a prompt about interviewing a celebrity, creating a dream business, or reimagining a familiar story. Sometimes the easiest way to get better at writing is to stop treating it like a chore. By lowering the stakes and encouraging creativity, the journal helps reluctant writers gain confidence while giving enthusiastic writers plenty of room to stretch.
Whether used alongside a formal writing curriculum or as a stand-alone creative outlet, My Year of Writing provides meaningful daily writing practice while encouraging imagination, self-expression, and original thinking.
By the end of the year, your teen will have something far more interesting than a stack of worksheets: a time capsule of ideas, opinions, stories, observations, and creative risks that captures both his growth as a writer and a snapshot of who he was during this season of life. For high school students, the journal can also contribute toward writing credit when documented as part of a broader language arts program.

Great Way to Inspire a Reluctant Writer
Beth S.
I picked this up toward the end of the school year to give my 9 year old some more writing practice. He needed more guidance than a blank journal and this gives him a place to express his quirky sense of humor. It's not overwhelming to him, because the areas to write are short and he's been willingly writing every day!

Great activity book

This a great little practice book that allows my daughter to write a few sentences each day. It challenges her to be creative and come up with fun story ideas.

Engaging series
Amy C.
I bought this alongside other books in the series. I think I'll hold onto it for a couple years before starting it with my son. He's in late grade school now, but we're still working on writing.

There's a whole series of these. Writing, art, me etc. They are great! A nice supplement and little project to work through over a year. Fun and worth it for many ages.
