Fear of Writing: putting the fun back into writing!
Overview
Have you ever . . . longed to write a story but felt you had nothing to write about? heard a voice inside your head telling you your writing sucks? felt your creative writing was a chore ("I'd rather clean the oven or mow the lawn") instead of fun? had your writing painfully critiqued by a well-meaning person and felt the passion go out of your creativity? studied lots of books on writing and getting published—but the more you do, the more the fun goes out of it? felt haunted by this question: "There are millions of stories and books in the world—who cares if *I* write anything?" If even a single question on the above list speaks to you, then my book can help you. The name of the book is Fear of Writing: putting the fun back into writing!

We watch kids playing and wonder how we ever got so far from something that real. Fear of Writing DOES PROMISE to show you how to recapture that kind of joy and fun. This method is active, not passive—and that makes all the difference to you. Wait. To be more specific, part of it IS passive, because you get to relax and read entertaining and emotionally liberating stuff.
