It's the basic 'kick in the butt' inspiration, where the answer is clear and simple: if you want to be a write, you have to write. Too much of our approach to any kind of dream we have is caught up in fears and assumptions, and the only way to really make the abstract turn into something tangible is to actually do it. This book, and every other one, I read was made because writing is a verb. (If only, I start doing it myself.) There's not much in the book that wasn't new or fresh compared to other writing books I've read, however, the worksheets made me think differently about my approach to writing, and the publishing chapter was helpful - even though I don't know how much times have changed from now since the book was published.
