Helping Writers Write

Reading a great book is certainly one way to keep oneself entertained for hours. But there are many people out there who wonder what it would be like to write their own book, if only they weren`t afraid of writing. For these secret writers, there is a new book out there, which will not only provide you with the entertainment of a good read, but will also teach you how to take a step back and start bringing your thoughts to the page. Author and Writing Coach, Milli Thornton, has announced a special promotional offer for purchasers of her book, Fear of Writing: for writers and closet writers. On January 24 & 25, 2006, Amazon.com customers who purchase Fear of Writing: for writers and closet writers will also be eligible for over $600 worth of bonus gifts and prizes.

Fear of Writing: for writers and closet writers was written to show writers how to bring the joy, creativity and fun back into writing. By using the simple ?Fertile Material? process, readers learn the skills to overcome the all too familiar writers block when sitting down to write. Thornton developed the process after failing to find books and resources with exercises that would be fun to use. The ?Fertile Material? process has been proven over and over again in Ms. Thornton?s workshops and writing circle sessions.

The Fear of Writing method provides both novice and veteran writers alike with 112 ways to quickly, easily and painlessly start writing and recapture their creativity. In five years of running writing workshops, weekly writing circles and online forums, the author has never seen this method not work. Many of the writers and closet writers she has worked with over the years have felt slowed down by one kind of fear or another about their writing: fear of getting started, fear of finishing, fear of failure, even fear of success, the list goes on.
