BOOK CLUB: 642 THINGS TO WRITE ABOUT

It doesn't matter if it's the English Lit final or scribbling in your journal. It's a fact: writer's block sucks. But we've found a way to beat the annoying feeling of having nothing to say....and the best part is, it doesn't involve sitting in front of a blank computer screen for hours.

Check out 642 Things to Write About, the new book aimed to jumpstart all your creative juices. Conceived by the San Francisco Writers' Grotto (a group of local filmmakers, poets, and journalists), the pages have different prompts and space to jot down what you think with a good old fashioned pencil- no laptop needed.

You can pre-order the book right now on Amazon, but get a sneak peek of our favorite exercises below.
