A fear supressor!

Writing From the Body combats the fears, self-imposed standards, and suppressed feelings that block writers' creative potential. It frees those feelings and teaches writers how to use them productively. If you can extinguish the flames of self-criticism, you can ignite your soul's creativity

A+++

This book has helped me in my creativity processes, through meditaion and listening to what my body has to say, facing my inner most fears, blowing out the flame of lies that have been forced feed into me, and by breathing exercises that help me consentrate and relax. Anyone remotely interested in writing should have this book in their collection.
