If you have identified some boundary issues in your life after reading the past five posts (links below), I’d like to encourage you to go further in my 70-page Boundaries for Writers e-book.
The blog series could only touch lightly on a few of the topics listed in the e-book. You can read more about it here and order a copy through my website.
If the subject of boundaries is new to you, start here with the blog series:
- Why Writers Need Boundaries
- 4 Essential Types of Personal Boundaries
- How Healthy Are Your Boundaries
- Setting Boundaries on Yourself

Kristi, Congratulations!!! I know several people who struggle with boundary issues so what a wonderful resource.
Vijaya, that is certainly true, judging from the amount of email sent to me privately about several of the posts. From mild to severe, most of us have “issues” in one area or another. 😎 Mine tend to creep back up on me when I’m not looking too!
Well, Kristi, I’m trusting you. I have been having a horrible day and it’s all related to boundary issues. I probably shouldn’t buy things in the heat of emotion, but you’ve never led me wrong before, so… *breathe* …I think I know very well you have the answers, I’m just hoping I can make those answers WORK! 🙂
rockinlibrarian, almost every helpful book I ever bought was bought in the heat of emotion. 🙂 I guess I have to get “heated up” enough about something before I do something concrete to change things. The e-book ideas will help if you’re having boundary issues, and if they are severe (or just ones that are ingrained for years) the additional resources can point you in the right direction. Hear’s to recovery!
Deanna, thank you. That is my very prayer. Hang in there!
