The Notebooking Daily 2020 Writing Series is a daily writing exercises for both prose writers and poets to keep your creative mind stretched and ready to go—fresh for your other writing endeavors. The writing prompts take the impetus—that initial crystal of creation—out of your hands (for the most part) and changes your writing creation into creative problem solving. Instead of being preoccupied with the question "What do I write" you are instead pondering "How do I make this work?" And in the process you are producing new writing.
These exercises are not meant to be a standard writing session. They are meant to be productive and to keep your brain thinking about using language to solve simple or complex problems. The worst thing you can do is sit there inactive. It's like taking a 5 minute breather in the middle of a spin class—the point is to push, to produce something, however imperfect. If you don't overthink them, you will be able to complete all of the exercises in under 30 minutes.

- Exact Place: At the famous Arch formation at Cabo San Lucas in a glass bottomed boat (360 photo)
- Fact: How many bags of chips (or crisps) do you think the world's largest potato chip factory makes? I hope it's a big number, because the Walker's 40 acre factory in Leicester produces 7 million bags a day! Every day of the year except Christmas and New Year.
