• Traveling the World through Reading

    Reading takes you places. As Dr. Suess said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” Where in the world will your next book take you? When I was young, I dreamt of seeing the world. Coming from the back country…

• TEN MORE WORDS TO IMPROVE YOUR VOCABULARY

    As I catch up on my 2017 reading challenge, I am still aware of how many new words I come across in all the books that I read. I’m not a speed reader. I read every word and when new word appears that I don’t know, Mr. Webster comes in handy all the time.…

• Would You Still Write A Story – Even If You Knew It Would Never Be Read by A Single Person?

  I saw this question at LinkedIn. First of all, that is the most negative thing I have heard a writer say. If you are a good writer and you have an interesting thing to say, someone out there will read your writings. If you are a writer which you claim to be, you write. That…
