MY REVIEW
Very often, I find the prospect of another 'new' way of holding myself accountable when writing quite daunting, but the pleasant surprise about 52 Weeks of Writing' is that it has built-in progression sections which make it easy to complete. In a way this would be an important document looking back over a whole year, in terms of one's own development as a writer. Only recently on Bang2write there was much dicussion of Malcolm Gladwell's assertion that it takes 10,000 hours to truly develop one's craft as a writer. I can only think that something concrete like this writing journal would be a valuable contribution to this lengthy process.
I particularly enjoyed the themed quotes at the beginning of each week. I also liked the regular opportunities for reflection and personal development. You can literally start the process at any time of year. I wonder if participants of NaNoWriMo might like this approach. For long-term projects and multiple drafts of scripts and novels, it could prove invaluable.
