Customer Reviews

Not much different from any other planner
The planner itself is really no different from any other weekly planner at stores like Barnes and Noble. Each day is divided in two sections with no explanation or suggestions why. (I'm guessing so you could use it as AM/PM, Writing Life/Other Life, etc, but there's not much room in each day for either. It's so flexible that it's almost indistinguishable from any other planner.

The articles are short reprints from another book and are geared mainly toward freelancers who write for magazines.

I just don't see why Writers Digest Books felt the need to produce this planner. I was hoping for something more: inspiration, prompts, goal-tracking, checklists...Perhaps something more structured. At the very least, I was hoping for some suggestions on how to get the most from this particular planner (versus any other). If nothing else, it'd help me see how they visualized this being used.

It's a nice planner. But despite its title, it's just not particularly distinctive from many others.
