 A gimmick July 6, 2008
No sooner had I taken off the wrapping and inspected the contents, I realized I'd been had. This is nothing more than a gimmick; the book by the same title might have been slightly better. But at this point I wouldn't bet any money on it being so. I think the author must be thinking that his title is so catchy it's worth the price of a book, or in this case, a kit. Don't waste your money folks, unless you want to buy a very wry gift for someone else.
 A Fun Product March 26, 2008
I just received my copy and it is very impressive and its contents are very creative. You just want to open the box over and over again while it is also thrilling. Hey, I have read books for beginners but none compares to this. As a student writer I would highly recommend this to my fellow classmates.
 Fun Kit for NaNoWriMo Experience October 26, 2007

This is a fun and funky kit for participants in the National Novel Writing Month experience (NaNoWriMo), which takes place every November. Note that although it includes a short (44 page) book, it is not the same as the author's full-length book of the same title. I view "No Plot? No Problem" (the full length book) as an important asset to NaNoWriMo. This kit, however, is strictly for those who want to have fun with stickers, buttons, a rolled-up contract, and more. It is for those who want to go all out for NaNoWriMo, and who want some "toys" to help them have an even better time. If money is tight, spend it elsewhere, as you can make most of these things yourself. If you don't mind the cost, and know that it's all just for fun, then buy and enjoy it as I did.
In this video I open the kit and show you everything inside. The video is just under 4 minutes.

From Little Acorns... August 17, 2007

I found this product to be exactly what was needed: Lighthearted but also on-the-mark. It's one thing to read a book on the subject of cranking out a novel in 30 days, and another one to actually have support in charting it.
As for those who feel that the kit was too expensive - I got a lot more out of this $25 product (paid full-price at the local bookstore) than I did in 6 much more expensive hours with a writing coach (who expressed surprise that I had actually completed a draft - which made me wonder, is it that unusual?)
I intend to use this system again and again.
It Is What It Is... May 16, 2007

I was reading some of the negative reviews and can't believe how people are. Basically, it's a cute little kit to motivate you to write your 50,000 page book in 30 days or less. The people who gave it the negative reviews are taking it's purpose way too seriously.
This is more of a "gifty" type of item for someone who is really into writing. In fact, if you have a writer in your life, especially one who is having a hard time getting motivated, you probably should get this writing kit and the original No Plot? No Problem! book to go along with it. The gift will be received with raving reviews from your writer friend, spouse, associate, etc.
When I opened the kit, it motivated me to want to write my book. Isn't that the purpose?
Some of these people are just ridiculous. If the kit doesn't write the book for them then they feel ripped off! Come on, people! Get a life!
