You Are a Writer (So Start Acting Like One)was written to be inspirational and it is.  You'll find basic but fairly detailed information for new writers.  If you aren't sure how to start marketing yourself as a writer, this is the book to purchase to get your creative juices flowing.I especially like the mind shift he suggests "Everywhere I could, I wrote that I was a writer. It was kind of ridiculous, but something crazy happened as a result of this campaign. It actually worked... Before anyone else called me one, I believed I was a writer. And I started acting like one."  I believe the reason this works is it makes your writing commitment real and that helps self-motivate you.When a friend introduced me as a writer the first time I wanted to shy away because I hadn't sold 100,000 copies of anything.  This mind shift can be very difficult and I would say that you'll probably feel honest with that assertion when you actually get something published (even a small article).Good luck and have fun!
