I'm assuming that if you're reading the book description of a book called \u003ci\u003eAuthorphobia\u003c\/i\u003e, chances are high you're looking for a little bit of writer inspiration and motivation like I was-you may be having a little fear of failure about becoming a writer.

Common, communicable if you're not careful, controllable, and ultimately conquerable using the one thing that human beings have relied to survive dark nights in the forest of our irrational fears. Nervous, naughty, sometimes a little nasty, and necessarily sarcastic wit.\u003c\/p\u003e This is not your grandma's writing inspiration book. \u003cp\u003eAt the publication of this book, there are at least a dozen \"Author quote, 'authorpreneur', get over your fear, there-there Johnny or Sally, everything will be okay, hand-holding\" books you could read that'll have you convinced in no time that all this author stuff is easy-peasy lemon squeezy.
