    Inside a Writer's Head

    About this ebook

    Inside a Writer's Head is a short collection of poems about all things writing. Topics include writing goals, writer's block, inspiration, ideas, and more. I came up with the idea for this collection when I realized how often I write poems… about poems. Or about writing in general. This collection is all about that.
