If you write, you're a writer...

This book goes a long way to smash the myths around "being a writer." The author argues convincingly that published writers are not necessarily the best writers, and that just because you aren't published doesn't mean you're not a writer. He makes a distinction: writing is about words, publishing is about money. He then goes on to talk about the multifarious ways you can become a writer, overcome writer's guilt complex, writer's block, writers self-consciousness, the "I have to write the next important novel" syndrome and many others. In short, he excuses the art vs. entertainment squabble as rubbish for someone who just wants to write (one of my favorite sections is entitled "A Few Unkind but Well-Deserved Words about Literature"). He makes you feel as though you can cut through all of that garbage and actually produce something. Whether it's published or not is beyond the point (but he does talk briefly about selling your work if you want to).

If you want to write something and are just plain confused about the entire monolithic subject, this is a good book to sit down and fly through in one sitting and then dip back into later when you need it. It is anything but pretentious and it will help you to write what you want to write.

Very helpful and fun.

I love, love, love this book. The information is helpful and each exercise has been fun to do. Hope it helps me with my writing dreams.



A unique stress-free approach for anyone who has ever wanted to write.
