Series; How-to-Write/Create Books

Bibliotherapy, book therapy does not stop at self-help w/ self-esteem, setting goals for home repairs, getting motivational energy to start and maintain a work-out schedule, pursuing your dreams, freedom from codependence, et c. One can integrate a progressive inventory of tools and apply them to writinga and other art forms. N. Goldberg, J. Cameron, S. Edelstein, R. Masello, and Rilke are a variety of resources for ideas to blow thru, cut the road dirt and resistance giving support where one can say, "Take what you want, and leave the rest." Of course working on one's life helps your artform. If in doubt, do the dishes, yoda, yoda, yoda.

Choose healthy playmates. Be free of toxic people. Minimize negative resistance, duress. Authors are very supportive w/ their work chosen healthily. It is a good idea to develop decision making skills, keep an open-mind, be willing to make progress in recovery from a non-writing nonstatus to the other side, break on thru to the other side, to creating. Writing is creating, expressing, and communicating. Learn to list, for materials, raw sources to produce and be of service to the literacy community. If your are asking "How?" ... Honesty, open-mindedness and willingness are games of skill, developing tools, using them, gaining, progressing cutting thru the fog. Seeing, listening, sensing are the tasks at hand, and of course getting it all down in manifestaion, a destiny it was meant to be, manifested. You are not alone. Join a writing group. Create one, find the tribe.

Stay "hungry," stay healthy, get healthy, hang around the ink well, follow your bliss. Like the Chinese story; Life is like a ball of yarn. Throw it out in the general direction and it unravels as it does. G_d gets to laugh w/ our plans. See the story of Jonah.

If someone criticizes us too early ("You can't see it til it is finished," D. Byrne) we need to have the strength to say no to toxicity, like decision making and processing the information. If any response besides ignoring ignorance can be made, reaching the handhold to pull up upon and ascend w/ more creativity. Creativity is the handhold for the route, en route to a better position in the games of skill. Develop your talent, not "You have not got any." That is someone active in the addiction of noncreativy, nonproducing, however it appears. There are more viewpoints, perspectives than a drunk. Don't let the bastards get you down. Let the higher power of creativity pull you up.

It is a path/journey. The destination is awareness of being on the journey. And develop your decision making skills, talents, capabilities, gifts. You got your education. Now what are you going to do w/ it?
