Review - Chicken Soup of the Soul: Inspiration for Writers

*This is a sponsored review. All opinions are 100% mine.


Being a blogger and a freelance writer can be extremely stressful and depressing. We have dreams of becoming successful published authors, but with all the rejection letters piling up, we begin to feel our dreams will never come true. I have had my own fair share of rejection letters. No matter how many times I tell myself not to let them bother me, they still do.

Chicken Soup for the Soul recently released Inspiration for Writers, which is written by newbies to bestselling authors. There are 101 motivational real-life stories covering fears of writing, critique pals, scheduling your writing time, battling writer's block, handling rejections, and finding inspiration for your work.

Like I said, I'm a blogger and a writer, so I was instantly interested in reading the book as soon as I saw the title. The publisher nicely sent me a complimentary copy for this review in exchange for my honest thoughts. My original plan was to only read a few stories each night, but I ended up reading the first three chapters in one evening.

There is heartache, humor, and drama throughout all 101 stories. After reading just the introduction, you'll feel like you're not alone as almost all other writers have received some sort of rejection letter. I found the book to be truly inspirational and I recommend it to other writers.
