Write: 10 Days to Overcome Writer's Block. Period.
"As well researched and helpful a book
on writing as I've ever read."
— Kurt Vonnegut
Writers want to write, but often find themselves whirling through cyberspace, glued to HBO with a box of doughnuts, careening off to the nearest Starbuck's, and/or carving out last week's fossilized spaghetti from the kitchen table.
Sound familiar? This is what Dr. Karen E. Peterson— who has overcome writer's block herself—calls "the write-or-flight response." In this revolutionary book, psychologist and novelist Karen E. Peterson presents an effective way to outwit writer's block. Based on new brain research and sound psychological principles, this innovative program shows writers how to conquer writer's block using:
- Exercises to conquer the "write-or-flight" response
- Techniques to create that elusive "writing mood"
- Parallel monologue and interior dialogue to jumpstart the writing process
- Checklists to see which side of the brain is blocking you
With case examples and a healthy dollop of humor, Write. helps both seasoned and neophyte writers to enjoy the process of sending their creativity—and productivity—soaring to new heights.

| don't feel that we are fulfilling our destinies |
| avoid the use of the right side of the brain, which holds the key to ending procrastination |
