Review: Solid, Practical Advice
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 15, 2012
I wouldn't necessarily call this a "how to" book on being a writer, but more in lines of a kick in the butt / strong encouragement to individuals that if you have a desire or a goal in life you better get to it as, in the case of this publication, a book / novel / article isn't going to be written by itself.  Life is full of tales of "coulda woulda shoulda" and the author has some personal experiences he relates as examples and in an effort to get you moving along.What initially attracted me to this title was the book's main description of "...practical tips for freelancing, how to get published in magazines..."  I found those sections to be a little thin, but stronger on the development of a platform which was pretty good advice and I have implemented a couple of Mr. Goins' tips.I picked this title up for free during a Kindle promotion and, as I type this review, I see the price has reverted to $2.99 for the Kindle version.  While this is a short read, the advice and information delivered in this title is worth more than $2.99 and I recommend it.  If you're looking for similar advice or need that extra little nudge to get you pointed in the right direction, you should consider picking up this one.
