Author’s Block

As many of you are aware, I was surprised as anyone by making the transition from bored IT consultant to specialist at removing writer’s block.

If this is new to you, I am not talking about simply getting creative juices flowing (which I also do) but also sometimes dealing with deep trauma and fears associated with the [...]

Now that’s what I call a review

In the interests of sharing the power and usefulness of a review both for the author and other readers, I thought I’d share this one that came in recently for my book Blocks …

It’s a reminder to all readers to take time to give feedback to authors and for authors never to think a book they wrote a few years ago can’t still pack a punch and make an impact. Eternal thanks to Dr Joy Madden who wrote it …

P.S. see the original review and more on BellaOnline.com …

`BLOCKS’ by Tom Evans has self development tips and tools to clear writer’s block and get that book of yours written via a “new and holistic way of thinking and being”. Whatever you are writing (books, scientific papers, adverts, articles, blogs), BLOCKS is a self development book that resurrects and develops your creativity. Have a look at the self development review below.

In essence, Tom shows you new tools to clear writer’s block, help you “undergo personal transition, enlightenment and evolution” and get your book published. His self development tips can help to clear any mental block and get your creative thoughts in print.

There are 130 pages (including Glossary). The headings are succinct and the text is interspersed with drawings, bullet-points, etc. Each of the 15 chapters ends with simple exercises to consolidate learning. The short chapters, paragraphs and sentences all contribute to the book being easy to digest even though it covers some complex issues.

With many books you skim over paragraphs looking for phrases that mean something to you. With this book, virtually every sentence has some importance and is worth pondering to acquire the full power of this book.

EFT and Inspiration

How often are we crying out for inspiration? I know I sometimes am!

We feel stuck and maybe the lack of inspiration is the same thing as being stuck. Whether it is, or not, it can be frustrating and limiting – you have a book to finish by a deadline and you have no inspiration for the [...]

The Book You Were Born to Write

It’s a cliché I know but it’s said there’s a book inside everyone. In my experience, once the first one comes out, a veritable flood ensues and there is no stopping a writer.

This particular Bookwright specialises in the “book” of the author’s life with the printed (or ebook) being a kind of by-product. In turn, this [...]

Writer’s Block and EFT

By Guest Blogger & EFT Therapist, Penny Waite
As any writer knows, there are times when, for whatever reason, the words and ideas do not flow or cannot be captured.

What makes this happen?
A block or blocks can cause this difficult state. The subconscious is busy, all the time taking everything in and then passing us subliminal messages. [...]

Dealing with rejection

The stories of multiple rejection letters abound so much that it has become a stereotype that this is the norm for the publishing industry.

It really doesn’t have to be the case. Certainly for non-fiction, if you research your publisher, there is no reason you can’t submit one manuscript and get one “Yes”.

If you are really canny, [...]

Four Fears, Talent & Time – #005 – Talent

The 6 things that stop people writing
Part #005: Lack of Talent

This is probably the trickiest of all the six things that stop people writing as it’s the most subjective.
