There are two sides to every story, any good writer can tell you that. Well, we took this quite literally. Our writers were struggling with writers blocks on their individual books and needed to find a way to get past it. What they did was as unusual as this book. First, they took a scientific approach to understanding the reason for the block and identified methods to modify the causes. Second, they exercised their minds by free telling (stories without regard to decency, spelling or grammar). As our authors are humorists, the stories are intended to be funny. You can clearly see how the stories morph as the writers blocks decrease. Now, this book is split, in hard copy it makes more sense, on the left side of the book which is seen by the right and free thinking part of the brain are the crazy stories, on the other side of the book is the science of overcoming writers block. This book is not for the weak of heart and the content is intended strictly for a mature audience. And yes that means one with a twisted sense of humor. Sorry, but we do intend to offend everyone. Our apolgies go to those we missed this go around. Don't worry, we have a sequel coming out soon and we intend on getting to you!
This book makes sense to people with multiple personalities. On one side is the logical, scientific approach to resolving a writers big issue: Writers Block. On the other side of this book is just pure garbage as our authors attempt to write to break their blocks.
It was a dark and stormy night, the hum of the computer and the clakity clack of the keys as an obnoxious laugh breaks the silence.
Every writer knows the struggle of writing and completing a story. Eventually, writers hit a wall known commonly as 'Writers Block'. There are some rational and scientific explanations as to why this occurs and some techniques that can be used to alleviate the physical inhibitors.
On the other hand, our authors, being humorists did what they did best...banter. And because they are writers they did it in stories. You can see on the crazy and offensive side of this book, that they tell some pretty weird tales when allowed to free their minds in an exercise of writing 5 words.
5 Words is a game. Give a person 5 random words and then allow them a very short period of time to write a story. Spelling and grammar don't count and the subject matter should ignore taboos and personal beliefs. This exercise is intended to release your creative mind so it can go back to doing what it needs to...write.
