Self Help

The perfect gift for every person who has ever made a New YearÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs Resolution to write a book ÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂæ and then didnÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt, So WhatÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs TodayÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs Brilliant Excuset is a witty, down-to-earth self-coaching manual that lovingly supports the reader in overcoming self-doubt and fear. A complete self-help manual and writing guide in one, this book cleverly combines coaching techniques, exercises and a bonus WritersÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂàTool Kit.
