    About this ebook

    Do you prefer to help yourself work through issues? Try fiction writing as a therapy technique today!

    Instead of spending an arm and a leg or two on therapy bills have you ever considered writing as a vent for your inner turmoil? It may not work for everyone but you could be surprised at what it can do for you. If you already enjoy writing then maybe this is the perfect outlet waiting to be found.

    This is not a replacement for traditional therapy but a way to self supplement.

    This edition is focused on fiction writing. It gives examples of different types of writing tasks that you can try out. Feel free to mix and match. Who knows your next big project could spring from trying to help yourself. Maybe even help someone else with your story while you're at it.

    So don't delay, get your copy today!
