The book is fine with me, what it's about that is. I read the intro on the Lulu page and then went on to chapter 1, by the time I was on page 2 I started to get annoyed. I wanted some action and was tired of the frustration.

- Deidra,
What u can do for the block is to think of the outcome of your book. Think about what and how you got to that point to write and what the book will bring u when u complete it. Also take that emotion and let it fuel u to write and to write weel and get it done. Good Luck
