Kill writer’s block now

If you’re a writer who is sick of the self-doubt, procrastination and paralyzation, you have no valid excuse not to buy this book. Period.

I realize that sounds pretty bold.

I realize I better be able to back it up.

I also realize that no matter what, someone will always say, “That might work for some other writer, but not for me.”

But we all know that’s a bullshit statement we use when we’re afraid to change.

And that is perfectly okay. Just don’t complain that you’re blocked, stuck, hampered, uninspired and unable to finish what you start.

The Definitive Guide to Writing on Your Terms, Using Your Own, Honest-to-God, Gut-Wrenching Voice is a digital book that includes 136 pages of “f*ck yeah” content, exercises, samples of my own writing, instructions and videos to inspire.

Full disclosure: I initially estimated this book would be 150 pages. It’s actually 136.

It is for writers who need help breaking out of the anxiety and uncertainty, and who want to silence the internal editor.

It’s information, challenge, inspiration, strategy, tips, and practical advice on how to be genuine and clear. How to get past the voice in your head that says you suck. How to just write.

In the time it takes to read the book, you will learn what it took me more than a decade to figure out.

At $24.95, it is also the cheapest alternative to working with me in my month-long Write Raw program, which goes for $499.

Bonus:  The one and only badass Erika Napoletano – aka Redhead Writing – has written the foreword.

For f*ck’s sake. A rant and an excerpt.

When I woke up, I had no intention of sharing an excerpt of my new book, THE Guide, today. But I ran across three posts from three different people about one issue. It seems the universe is holding up a neon sign just for me.

We’re talking about profanity in writing. More specifically, swearing on your blog. As a long-time, flag-waving cursing machine, you can guess my opinion. What you don’t know is the road I traveled, how long it took me to get there and why I think it’s perfectly okay to say f*ck when you feel the need to say it.

The posts that prompted this are from Don’t Call Me Marge, Something Clever 2.0, and The Insomniac’s Dream. Check those out for the background.

Without further ado, here’s the excerpt of chapter three in THE Guide, called “Two of the most important lessons I ever learned about writing.”

. . .

Lesson No. 1 – Old school writing techniques can f*ck up your voice, until you figure out …

Lesson No. 2 – If you think you shouldn’t say it, you better say it.

I grew up in a great neighborhood, in a microscopic town, in a small state. I had a big backyard, plenty of kids my age and a one-mile loop to bike. (I was an epic bicyclist. Great legs, too.) People kill for less.
