About this ebook
There are many myths in the world of creative writing, and one of the top three has to be the myth of writer's block.

Writer's block is 99.9 per cent smoke and .1 per cent substance. Seven Steps to Busting Writer's Block Forever takes the .1 per cent that is legitimate and teaches you a proven process that can clear any blockage for any story—every time, without fail. Don't drink the writing myth Kool-Aid, take control of your writing process and bust writer's block forever.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5what's popularly known as writer's block is outside of the writing and must be addressed in other ways, like stress management, scheduling, etc. Mr. Lyons explains how to tackle the problem in the story where the writer is unable to make the next move. He suggests using story structure to know what should come next and solve story problems first before trying to write without a goal.
