Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for Writers: 101 Motivational Stories for Writers – Budding or Bestselling – from Books to Blogs

By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Amy Newmark
400 Pages (Paperback)
Date Published: March 12, 2013

With 101 stories from published writers who stuck with it and succeeded, you will be inspired and encouraged, whether you’re an aspiring author, a blogger, or a bestselling writer.

No matter the genre, no matter the medium, the writing process is hard! But you will find inspiration, encouragement, and advice in these 101 stories from others who have stuck with it, through the setbacks and struggles, and successfully went from dreaming about writing to being a writer.

This book is definitely inspiring. Whether a professional writer or a up and comer this book has something for everyone. There are positive stories, sad (rejected) stories, motivating ones and more. As a blogger I write, a lot, but before I blogged I have always been fascinated with writing. This book is great because the stories are short (2-3 pages each) and easy to read here and there. For me as a busy mom of three I love being able to read just a few pages and not loose my place if I don’t pick up the book for a few more days. I haven’t made it through all 101 stories yet, but so far so good. The book is also broken down into chapters all surrounding writing and writers.

I solve writer's block by clearing my mind & taking a break & coming back to it later

I usually solve writer's block by stepping away and taking a walk outside or doing something completely unrelated to my writing project. This book will definitely appeal to the writer in me.

I really only write for fun, but if I get stuck, I usually just distance myself for a few days and try to run scenes in my head. If they work in my head, I try to put them into words.

I'd give this to my sister probably. She is constantly holed up in her bedroom writing or composing music!
