Do you know that feeling you get when you hear something that rings incredibly true and you nod your head emphatically and say "YES" constantly? <i>That</i> is how I felt when I read this book. The entire time I was nodding along, agreeing with every word Huge MacLeod wrote. "<i>Put the hours in; You are responsible for your own experience; Keep your day job; Never compare yourself; Sing in your own voice; Don't worry about finding inspiration; Write from the heart; The best way to get approval is not to need it; Beware of turning hobbies into jobs; None of this is rocket science.</i>" None of what is written inside <a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Ignore-Everybody-Hugh-Macleod/9781591842590/?a_aid=theprivategirl" target="new"><i>Ignore Everybody</i></a> is groundbreaking or even new, but the way MacLeod writes is encouraging and enthusiastic; MacLeod is passionate, sincere, and friendly. He offers up good advice in a way that would be hard for anyone to ignore.<br/>
