FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Read at least one book a month


When I was in grade school, I had to read six books over the summer. I thought it would be a bore, but I completed the assignment. I enjoyed reading those books (can't remember what the titles were but I read them). Since then, I have cultivated the habit of reading one book each month. On occasion, I have read two, and sometimes, three books in a month. It keeps the mind and intellect sharp and it is amazing how much you remember. I read different genres as not to grow stale or bored reading only one type of writing. you will be amazed that you read all those books at years end and didn't realize it.

WRITING COURSES

I am presently taking some writing courses in college. It is a worthwhile investment to your writing career and will pay off in the long run. At present, I am writing a play and will have a full length play by the end of the year. I believe the arts are valuable to the education of students. I want to teach children the value of reading and writing. Children are naturally creative, so why not let them write, produce, direct, and chereograph a play they have created? It will be something they will never forget.
There are numerous places where writing courses are taught. Colleges, seminars, writing workshops, and conferences are a few resources to research. Magazines such as 'Poets and Writers' and 'Writers Digest' are excellent sources where one can improve or develop their writing skills Whatever your genre, there is always something we can improve.
