GIVEAWAY: Writer's Block!
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! FOR THE WINNER, PLEASE CLICK HERE!!!
Okay, so I'm not REALLY giving away writer's block, but that's as good a phrase as any to describe the giveaway I'm doing.
Reading a variety of books on writer's block and procrastination was a really good experience for me, teaching module aside (which, now that my research is done, I must now focus on, ACK!), I think I would've done anyway if only for my own gratification. It's interesting to take a problem that plagues you and research it, to see if you can, in some form or fashion, find yourself within those pages. Thanks to all of these books, I now have a firm stance on the topic, at least for me personally, and actually a good deal more sympathy for those I know who are struggling with block. One mentor at SHU warned me that my research would take me down the slippery slope of self-help and psychology, but let's face it: that's not a bad thing. Creativity comes from within, and because it comes from within, it's intricately woven into who and what we are. So it makes sense that there is no be-all and catch-all answer for writer's block and procrastination, but it takes time and patience to figure that out.
So for those of you who are interested, I'm offering a giveaway.
