"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.

"It didn't have to be this way"
There is a world out there where I could have been happy. Where we could have been friends, and you could have benefited from what I know. Unfortunately, we don't live there. This is not a romance novel. Do not think this is a romance. Not all mobile devices will be able to show all the text accurately, as I use fonts as a conveyer of mental health. Warning Every warning you can think of. There will be gore rape torture and what is worse. Also, I make stories by writing the story plot and everything, and rewriting it to fit in the small details. The chapters all the final ones but the story itself has been finished.

The Yellow
Dedication This is for all the people who had to find out the hard way that family is not who you are blood related to, but to the people who are actively there for you every day and will help you fight when you feel that you have nothing left to give. Thank you to my yellow's, who without I wouldn't be alive right now. You are my family and I will fight forever to keep you safe and happy as you have done for me. Authors Note This book is written as if I were talking directly to you within a conversation, I want you to feel as though you can take part within this conversation so after each chapter there will be a few pages where you can write your responses to the section if you wish. This isn't a true story for some but for others it is just life. Hard, and at times shitty, but we work through it and most times the hard work pays off. I would love to hear your experiences when you write a response that you want me to see, post it on instagram, tag the chapter title, and then @ my account at @booklover7963. I will try to read as much as I can. I look forward to seeing your side of the conversation and hearing your story.Complete
How to write like a Pirate, Get readers, and other inspirational crap
I get asked a lot for advice so I'm going to sum up all of it here. So sit down, shut up, and don't go anywhere because this book will change your life. Or at least it better, otherwise you're probably doing something wrong. I'll cover things like: General Advice on being a better Writer or anything really. Why you aren't getting any reads, and how to get more. Tips, life lessons, and what I learned the hard way. How to be a good reader and why that matters. How to fix basic problems about your story to help it get noticed. Basic advice on Tags, cover, description. I'll talk about things you may not even know you are doing wrong yet. What it means to be a Pirate as a writer and why you should be one too. And I'll update more as needed. Generally, it's a bunch of stuff that's not always obvious or you didn't think about at first. Lessons that I discovered through a long painful process of trial and error. Everything may not be exactly right in everyone's eyes, but nobody's perfect. Be aware, this book may both change your life for the better and unapologetically attack you on a personal level at the same time. Because how can you know what to fix if you didn't know what is broken? You can write. You can be a writer, novice or professional. And maybe you are simply failing in some way because nobody told you what-not-to-do yet. Let me tell you. Let me break you down and build you up so that you can succeed. But I can't help you if you don't let me. So give me that chance and read this from start to finish.Complete
SomeGuy's Writing Advice And Tips And STUFF
I am SomeGuy. People have enjoyed reading my chapters across all my fics for some reason, and I saw that a handful of my readers were people either interested in writing or already writers, so I decided to make this to help everyone else out. I'm not a professional writer though, and some of these things might not apply to you, so take some of my tips with a grain of salt. Writing isn't as easy as people think, and I would know, 'cause I thought this would be easier than it actually turned out being. I've been writing for a few years now, but it's still hard at times, and it probably won't get any easier. I doubt this book will change much for you, but I still want to make life easier even by a little bit. This will include writing advice, tips and stuff. Let's cook together, chat.Complete

Mistah Captain Jack Sparrow
At one time, I used to be a pirate. I used to be as free as the birds that fly over the ocean. I never followed rules or laws or anything like that. Of course, everyone has a code they live by. I did have pirate code, but... now that I'm no longer a pirate, I don't live by it anymore. Don't get me wrong... I don't mind not being on the ocean all the time, but I do miss it. I loved being free and truly not really ever having to listen to someone tell me what to do all the time. It's not like that now... I had to give up being a pirate, when I almost got killed. I mean, trust me, every single day was a fight for my life, but... that time was different. My parents both got killed protecting me, so I decided to give it up. Of course, I still have my skills, but... I'm a bit rusty. Anyways, here I am just living my life on the land, with my "brother", Will. He's not really my brother. It's a cover we used a long time ago, so I could get into the city. His father knew my parents. That's why he helped me. He found out about them getting killed, so... he helped me out. We are close, though. He is like a brother to me, and I consider him a brother. Moving on, here I am just... wasting my days away with Will. All we do is sit in his shop and make weapons. However... everything changes when an infamous pirate shows up out of nowhere. Everything turns upside down, after I meet... "Mistah Captain Jack Sparrow..." or.. Mistah J, as I like to call him, just to get on his nerves....Complete
