Writers Rehab: September 2013

One month from today, Writers Rehab will be published published. To say that I'm excited about it would be an understatement. Whether you're a novelist, screenwriter, playwright or television writer, Writers Rehab will work for you.
The book is designed to be a comprehensive self-help book in the form of a 12-Step Program for writers dealing with emotional or psychological roadblocks with their writing.
You can use it as a source to deal with the numerous scenarios that face writers:
* Being stifled creatively
* Running into brick walls
* Losing confidence
* And experiencing writers block to the point of depression and creative collapse
Starting today, I will be making posts about the book and about the worst thing that can happen to any writer: writers block
I've had it. I know you've had it. Frankly, my guess is that everyone has had it at one point or another.
But there are ways around it.

What Writers Rehab Is All About

After more than 20 years as a script consultant and writing coach, I’ve encountered over 2,000 writers ranging in age from 17 to 82, from those just starting out to a bunch who’ve gotten deals, sold scripts and had work produced. Some have good writing habits, many don’t. I’ve learned that there are two kinds of writers: those who finish the first draft (and subsequent revisions) and those who don’t. For whatever reason, most writers fall out of love with their story, encounter unforeseen plot problems or reach a brick wall that seems insurmountable.

Writers Rehab is for writers who’ve lost their way, are floundering and need a jumpstart. It’s designed to help you nurse yourself back to creative health.
