title: The Writer's Hand:  Character Journal.: 100 of the best character descriptions from favorite authors, old and new! (Volume 1)
author:  Dawn Reno Langley 
description: Dawn Reno Langley writes novels, essays, poetry, and theater reviews. With an MFA in Fiction from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies from The Union Institute and University, she teaches creative writing workshops for all ages and abilities. Writing a journal has been part of Langley's life since she was old enough to put together a sentence. With hundreds of journals in boxes in her house, she still keeps at least seven going at a time--a writing journal, a dream journal, one for traveling and another for everyday experiences. She has used them when teaching people how to create memoirs or novels. THE WRITER'S HAND is a series of journals that writers (and readers) can use for many different reasons. Use the quotes to inspire thoughts for the day. Mimic the author's writing in order to improve your own. Create your own characters. Or analyze the quote you've chosen. The journals offer a place to be creative, as well as to learn something about writing! Upcoming titles include journals for writing dialogue, writing first lines, romantic scenes, and family memoirs. All with include 100 quotes to inspire!
