Vincent Fogliati – författare

Your Writer’s Block Is Bullsh*t begins with a confession: the authors themselves avoided writing this book.From that honest starting point, psychologist Dr Vincent Fogliati and professional ghostwriter Roger Joyce invite readers on a transformative journey through the three acts of a writer’s creative life — fear, confrontation, and freedom.In Act One – Your Writing World, they introduce the ACT Matrix, a tool that helps writers map their values, fears, and behaviors. Here, the reader identifies what truly matters about their writing, and why fear shows up exactly where passion lives.Act Two – Dealing with Your Demons guides the reader through the painful but liberating process of “unhooking” from avoidance and self-criticism. Rather than banishing fear, the authors show how to coexist with it — with compassion, humor, and skill.Finally, in Act Three – Showing Up to the Page, the book delivers what every creative person needs most: practical, evidence-based tools for consistency, presence, and courage. It’s where theory becomes action — the “show up with your mess” philosophy that underpins the entire work. Written in alternating voices — Vincent the psychologist grounding each principle, Roger the writer illustrating it through lived experience — the result is a rare blend of insight and relatability. The reader doesn’t feel lectured to; they feel understood. With forewords by Professor Paul Atkins, one of the world’s leading ACT scholars, and The Reverend Bill Crews AM on the human act of courage in creativity, this book transcends the “writer’s self-help” category. It’s about art, fear, and what it means to keep showing up when it matters most. For anyone who has ever said, “I’ll write when I feel ready,” this book is the wise, encouraging call to write now.
