No Bad Drafts: A Revolutionary Approach to Healing Writer's Block and Freeing Your Voice
"This book isn't just healing writers. It's healing people." Sarah Rieke, LPC.
What if writer’s block isn’t a wall to break through, but a part of you waving a red flag—screaming it doesn’t feel safe to create?
What if that part has its own story to tell?
And what if the only thing standing between you and your next chapter is the courage to listen?
No Bad Drafts invites you to stop fighting your writer's block and start listening to it. Drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS) and her background in counseling, book coach Ainsley James shows you how to meet the parts of yourself that block your words and uncover the wounds they’re protecting. Instead of working against these parts, you’ll learn how to write alongside them.
Inside, you’ll discover how
Heal the parts keeping you from the page.
Free your authentic voice and finally write with joy.
Grow self-compassion and a deeper understanding of yourself.
Because there are no bad drafts—only parts of you waiting to feel safe enough to create.
