"This book isn't just healing writers. It's healing people." Sarah Rieke, LPC.

What if writer's block isn't a wall to break through, but a part of you waving a red flag-screaming it doesn't feel safe to create?

What if that part has its own story to tell?

And what if the only thing standing between you and your next chapter is the courage to listen?

No Bad Drafts invites you to stop fighting your writer's block and start listening to it. Drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS) and her background in counseling, book coach Ainsley James shows you how to meet the parts of yourself that block your words and uncover the wounds they're protecting. Instead of working against these parts, you'll learn how to write alongside them.

Inside, you'll discover how to:

Heal the parts keeping you from the page.
Free your authentic voice and finally write with joy.
Grow self-compassion and a deeper understanding of yourself.

Because there are no bad drafts-only parts of you waiting to feel safe enough to create.All Rights Reserved

A Fiery Dalliance by littleLo

The words graceful, proper, ladylike and elegant could never be used to describe Perrie Beresford, the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Ashwood. Perrie has always had a little too much fire in her to ever be classified as a beautiful young debutante, which is what she will inevitably become in her first Season. But romance, courting, and marriage are the last things on Perrie's mind. Especially when her nemesis, who was once an annoying classmate, suddenly appears in her home as her father's protégé. As Perrie is pushed towards the life of an adult by those around her, she can't help but be pulled into a game of wars within the walls of her very home. But Perrie is about to learn that the line between love and hate are very fine ... and perhaps might not even exist at all.

Regency Romance: The Earl's Obsession (Historical Romance) (COMPLETED) by charlottestonebooks

(COMPLETED) It's 1817 and there is nothing more a woman wants than to marry a rich man and live a life of comfort. But not Nancy Brooks. Having spent half her life helping her mother run her laundry shop and the other half in the local library, Nancy knows what she wants, and it is not a life spent looking for the perfect suitor. Things take a turn when she delivers clothes to one of the schools she always dreamed of attending and ends up saving the day. Lord Andrew Montgomery rules almost every place he sets foot in-one of the perks of being the son of the most powerful duke of the time-and this includes Oxford. Violent and aggressive, he vows to make the life of every student who dares defy him miserable. However, when he targets the new (and first) girl at Oxford, his obsession becomes a little more than just making her life miserable. It began, he would later speculate, with a shout: the simple sound of someone shouting at him-for the first time in his life. It began, she would later speculate, with a catch: the simple movement of strong arms, breaking her fall, catching her midway. But after that, there would come many more events, and ones not too keen on bringing them together. What will they do when a powerful duchess steps in, when it seems every person is working to keep them apart? This is a story of betrayal and love, because they are not so different after all...
