In this episode, Eunice talks about one of the two REAL reasons you experience the infamous Writer's Block and what you can do TODAY to get rid of it.

There are two things that trip up writers every now and again. The first one we discuss is the B.S. but THIS BS isn't what you might think it is. Tune into this episode to find out what BS is holding you back and what you can STOP doing today to get your writing back on track.

My guest today is the author of Christmas Stories:  7 Original Short Stories.  He had his first children's picture book, Me and My Shadow,  released in May of 2021.  And, he has two books coming in 2022 "The Book of Souls", a mystical ghost story and its sequel "The Book of Demons" (think Harry Potter meets the Exorcist).  The Book of Souls is Moore's first full length novel.  He considers this a "self-help book - based on a true event which just happens to be a paranormal thriller."   Could that description be any more intriguing? He had his play "Conversations From The Sports Arena" performed at the HBO Theater in Hollywood. Welcome to Authors Over 50, Kevin Moore.
