Quit Screwing Around

Jeff Goins writes a fantastic blog over at  http://goinswriter.com. You should really go and check it out. Dont't worry I will wait.... See what I mean he really writes interesting and thought provoking posts.

This post is a review of the advance copy of his latest book that I was lucky enough to be sent last week. The book will be published in ebook format on Amazon and I will let you all know when it is available.

The book is called You are a Writer.

Its a must read for anybody that has ever dreamed of writing a book. Actually if all the writing you ever want to do in life is a blog then this is also a really good book.

The basic premise is that we should all quite screwing around and just write. Most of us spend all our time dreaming of writing or starting a novel but never getting beyond a few chapters. We are to scared to admit that we are writers so we fiddle around with writing and never get further then that.

Jeff suggests that you tell people you are a writer, put it on your Facebook profile even and most importantly tell yourself you are a writer.

The book is well written. Its a very easy hour or so read that you will want to look back at over and over again. This book encourages people to seize their dreams and stop putting things off.

I needed to read this book at this point in my life. Yes writing has to go on the backburner for me for a while but that will not stop me from writing short stories for Amazon, blogging and still generally being involved in the writing community.

So quit screwing around and write.
