Book Description:
Does your future as a writer feel uncertain?
You
write day after day. You dream of bestseller’s lists and royalty checks, but
despite your best marketing efforts, those dreams remain out of reach.
You wonder if you’re wasting your time. Does your writing even
matter?
Author Colleen M. Story, a long-time professional writer
and writing coach, helps you decide whether you truly have a writer’s DNA.
She examines why you feel pressured to make money with your work, why the
search for a readership is both motivating and discouraging, and why it’s so
common to doubt yourself along the way.
Step by step, you’ll
gain a clear-eyed view at the challenges a writer faces in the outside
world, while taking your own journey inward to discover what writing really
means to you.
Should you continue on this path, or adjust your
course now before it’s too late? Don’t waste your precious time in
indecision. Let Your Writing Matters guide you to your truth and you’ll
never look back again.
My Review Your Writing Matters is a helpful guide full of advice on how to overcome doubt about your writing, as well as other challenges you may face on your journey to prove yourself a writer. Deciding to be a writer is just the first step. Sticking with it, regardless of the obstacles that may come up, is the hard part. The book offers helpful tips, advice, and exercises to utilize, as well as makes you think about your life as a writer. Is this what you absolutely want? Would your life feel empty without writing? Should you "Go the Distance" and continue down the path you're on? And, considering the culture we live in, where so many people want to be famous just for the sake of being famous (or, in other cases, having fame AND money), this book also tackles the reality of "fame and fortune" as a writer, and how it can hinder more than help. Whether you're writing for yourself (perhaps like in a journal) or for others (as an author), this book can help you decide whether or not your writing matters, and if it's the right path for you. 4 stars.

Thanks so much for the review and spotlight, Jasmine! And for the review on Amazon as well. Writers really need the reviews there and I appreciate it. :O)
Please try not to spam posts with the same comments over and over again. Authors like seeing thoughtful comments about their books, not the same old, "I like the cover" or "sounds good" comments. While that is nice, putting some real thought and effort in is appreciated. Thank you.
