These are a fantastic tool for any writer. Whether you are writing a short story or a full-length novel, you should definitely try these workbooks! There are character and plot worksheets that line out everything I need to know to write my characters and scenes. I'll definitely be purchasing more of these in the future!

I use these for writing rather than drawing and they are excellent for that application as well. An excellent product.

This is a wonderful classroom tool. I teach special education writing and we regularly practice other ways to say...The students enjoy using words from the book to spice up their writing!

I had researched this program from other sites (not Amazon) and found that they all say that it is easy to use. I decided after years of using Word to give this a try. I absolutely love it.

I think it's  great writing program that is more advanced than Word, it allows me to keep everything together and organized. The one thing that I liked about this program was the fact that everything is easy to find. While I have been using it, it does take time to really master the program but it's not hard at all. It just does so much.

I received the book from the touring host for an honest review.
This is such a wonderful tool to have for authors that will help you effectively within the writing process. It is practical and useful and it is clear the author has a clear understanding of the subject. The layout of the book gives you plenty of information to be used in everyday writing making your book lively with the insightful instructions. I definitely learned a lot from this book and cannot wait to start writing again to put it to good use.
Short and to the the point this is a book you will go back to time and again making dialogue not a boring inset but a lively conversation that brings color to your book and characters.
A perfect tool in your writing.

If you are a writer or ever just need to grasp a new or different word, Big Thes 2.1 is for you. It's an interactive thesaurus and a great writing tool. It is set up as a Mac 9. X system extension and is always available onscreen, via a small menu drop-down at the top of the screen.
To use, you highlight a word in ANY program - Word, Office, Pagemaker, Quark - it doesn't matter. Then reach up and click on the Big Thes drop down menu, highlight "lookup selection" and bam -- you get nouns, verbs, adjectives and everything else.
It has 1.4 million combinations, organized by meanings, and up to 40 different definitions per word.
When you find the one you want, you hit "replace" and keep on writing.
It's nifty.
I gave it only 4 because they have not upgraded it to system 10 for the Mac.

I have been teaching various mainstream writing classes for twenty years now and have used several writing books; but this is by far the best teaching tool in my arsenal.
I have been told time and time again by my students that this book actually helps them learn to hone their own writing. The examples used are short and on target. Many students who had taken previous college courses say that this book far surpasses any college text they used in the past.

What I like about the book is that it shows the student how to take their own writing and make it better. It is NOT a book that intimidates students with long literary pieces written by famous authors. Instead it uses short paragraphs of literary pieces to prove the point of the lesson.

I have worn out two books throughout the years and my third is now in sad shape.  Soon I will order a fourth.  If you are serious about learning the craft of writing then this is the book for you.

I purchased this for my daughters birthday. She loves it.  My daughter has intentional tremors in her hands and dysgraphia so writing steadily can be extremely difficult for her. This Mr. Pencil writing tool helps her practice and makes writing fun. Definitely recommend! On a side note, I enjoy playing with it too! :)

The smoothness of the lines this pen makes are perfect for all my writing. Whether taking notes in class, writing creatively or making lists (I know...), this is the best pen I have used. The gel is great.

I have used this pen since the mid-nineties after buying it as a resident to write daily clinic notes in the hospital. My handwriting is not terrible but not the prettiest either but after getting this pen I began getting comments from colleagues that they were now able to read my notes. The pen surprisingly really improved my handwriting.

Fast forward 20 years and I still use this pen to write hospital notes but I realize that the emergence of electronic records will likely obviate the need for a pen like this for that purpose.

I will just find other uses for it as writing with it is too much fun to give it up. I really did not need another one as my 20 year old pen is still going strong but after stumbling across it on Amazon I just could not resist purchasing one.

A fine distraction-free writing tool that doesn't break the bank. Great if you don't like the idea of a clunky laptop while writing in bed.

This pencil was recommended to me though a classmate after I asked to borrow one for class. After my first use, I was immediately hooked by how well it allowed me to write. No more worrying about having to spin the pencil around every few words to get the optimal sharpness on the lead. This improved my handwriting and writing speed immensely. 10/10 would recommend.
Now I want to go ahead and purchase the metal model.

An invaluable tool for any writer. The only thing I didn't care for was the cover -- black, red or navy blue would have been better colors.

My 13yr old is using this and his handwriting is gorgeous now! Love it!

This is an invaluable tool for writing military perforance evaluation reports.  The book's best use is as a memory jogger to pick out those phrases which I can then expand upon.  Better yet, it keeps me writing in current tense, instead of past tense.
It saved about 5 hours while writing the last one.

I've been looking for a resource that gives me tips, suggestions and direction on a variety of writing and editing issues. And I definitely found it with "Writing with Excellence." It's a great tool for any writer's toolbox.
