Description
we (meaning writers and creative types) often come up against a wall in our work. These walls are sometimes just plain old writer's block, but often those walls are boundaries - limitations - we have set on ourselves without even knowing. Maybe you are afraid to write about a subject that strikes close to your heart, or maybe you are afraid what your family will think if you write a particular scene or on a particular subject. Or perhaps you are just too tired, too frustrated, too whatever to sit your butt down and write something - anything. Boundaries.You need to break them. You need to tear down whatever wall - whatever boundary - and write something. Anything. Hence, this book. Read it front to back or back to front, or just open it up and start in media res. If you want to be a writer, you have to write. And that means writing some pretty crappy stuff before you find that perfect line, that perfect phrase, that perfect story.
