One of the first things that jumped out at me in You are a Writer, was the amount of nodding along that I was doing.  I could feel where Jeff was coming from, I have felt most of those things myself.  Many of those thoughts are what inspired me to start blogging and get some of "Me" out there into the Universe.  But what good is getting out there if no one reads it?  That is what I feel to be the base message of the book.Jeff is very positive.  Almost to a fault!  Actually he gives you such a feeling of "I can go do this!" that I just want to write!  That is on of Jeff's great gifts, it is why I started reading his blog, he is so encouraging.He gets into how to become a "writer", how to be true to yourself, how to get paid for your craft.  He talks about disciplining yourself, practicing the craft, avoiding distraction.  He gives you some hard truths about being a writer, some I knew but had forgotten and must now relearn, for real.  And then he goes into exactly how to do it.All in all, if you have ever had aspirations of being a writer, or you have dabbled in writing and have given up, or you are a writer who just needs to read about "doing it" once in a while, Grab this book and get started, you will not be sorry.
