"Write. 10 Days to Overcoming Writer's Block", is a huge waste of time and money. It is no wonder that this book is in the bargain bin.<BR/>"Write.," lures you in with a compliment by Kurt Vonnegut on the cover and the first few pages offer hope that, by following Ms. Peterson's advice, you will break through your writer's block in 10 days...<BR/>In truth, Ms. Peterson's "research" is unorganized, irrelevant and useless and I doubt that this woman ever wrote a compelling thing in her life. This self proclaimed novelist, claims to have a PH. D and is a former professor at "X" University. I am assuming that this university has very low standards when it comes to choosing faculty. Frankly, I find it difficult to comprehend this woman actually became a public speaker on the subject. <BR/>I was going to suggest this "10 Day Plan" was a bunch of hoggle posh but, those words seem too interesting to describe the material between the covers. It, in short, is crap and the only value this book will have in my life is tonight, in my fireplace, when I use it as kindling.
