Millions of Americans believe that they have a book inside of them. A tiny percentage ever writes a single chapter, let alone finishes, publishes, and markets that book. "Writer's block" is often cited as an excuse, but the traditional definition of writer's block has nothing to do with why you are still an aspiring writer rather than a successful author. The resistance preventing you from starting your book, finishing your book, having your book edited, publishing your book, or marketing your book has close to nothing to do with fear of the blank page. In fact, the real writer's block is anything that keeps you from getting your book written, edited, published, and sold. The author, Karena Akhavein, Ph.D., who is also a longtime writer and writing coach, did years of research on writer's block, mindset, and motivation, and relates many of her own past failures and frustrations involving writing and publishing in this transformational book. After analyzing why she was not managing to awaken her motivation and manifest the kind of writing success she dreamed of, Karena developed The Spalmorum Method. The Spalmorum Method bridges the gap between traditional writing advice and psychology, to finally give you actionable advice that will help you make the jump from aspiring writer to successful author. Unlike many books on writing and writer's block, this book forgoes temporary, superficial, limited attempts at fixing the problem, does away with unhelpful advice such as "just put your butt in the chair and write," and instead makes light of the insidious role of mindset and ego, delving into the deep-seated thought and behavior patterns that are causing the larger problem at hand and perpetuating all of the various blocks that can affect a writer throughout the writing process, including pre-writing and post-writing. Through this book, you will learn how to adopt and implement the same mindset hacks employed by successful creative entrepreneurs, translated to the writing and authorship realm, to help you to finally level up in your writing career. Get ready to ditch the excuses, awaken unstoppable internal motivation, beat the odds, and go from aspiring writer to successful author.
