"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

The North by Scottish_writer

Wolves of Ragnarök - Book 1 WINNER OF THE ALPHA AWARDS 2023! **WATTPAD FEATURED STORY** What would you give up to keep your family safe? The time when wolf shifters could roam the land freely has ended. The world is changing swiftly around us. Skin Shifters have had to sink ever deeper into the shrinking wilderness; hiding from more than just the humans who hunt us, but from shadows who stalk the night and leave chaos in their wake - creatures driven by bloodlust and pass on their sickness to the humans they feed on. My pack has seen too much of death, and has nowhere left to run to except towards one last light of hope; rumour of an Alpha of alphas gathering our kind together across the Northern sea. Our sanctuary comes in the form of Alpha Hati Hróðvitnisson, a male of undeniable strength but a burning hatred in his eyes that sears my flesh the same way his touch does. . .but even he may struggle to save me when the very blood running through my veins endangers us all. . . . . .because the prophecies of Gods and Monsters may be alive in more than just the stories after all. *** A slow-burn werewolf romance set in early medieval Scotland and Norway, interwoven with mythology and mystery. Come run with the Wolves of Ragnarök.

The Nerd's Secret |Ongoing| by Not_Just_Anonymous

Note: I don't believe you need to read the first book but I think it'd be more fun if you did. (The Bad Boy's Secret) This story may be triggering at some points. If you have any questions regarding that please don't hesitate to message me. When you're a loser and friendless nerd you stick to what you're supposed to do. You get good grades, deal with the bullying and attempt to forget the past. But there are things an everyday nerd, such as myself should clearly not do. One: Don't crush on the most popular girl in school. Two: Be sure not to get sidetracked in your studies by including yourself in electives and such. Three: Don't get superpowers. Now what to do when, possibly, you might have done all the following listed above? This wasn't like a test where I just knew the answer. So you can imagine how long it took me to come up with the realization of what I should become. Or in other words, who I should become! Maybe I shouldn't have been begging for a change because this is a bit much...
