The Write Life

Yes, I have been rather quiet this week. This Monday I began my college experience. I have already had to write one essay and had math homework everyday. I also have an essay due on Monday on Communication Analysis. On the plus side I have signed up for the class Publishing Lit Mag. Now you all may or may not remember last fall when I submitted to the Salal Review. Well now I will be spending three quarters working as an Editor on you guessed it, The Salal Review. In December of 2010, I will be finished with a certificate that says I am proficient as a free-lance writer.

So for now that is my update. Now I am off to read "That's Not What I Meant To Say" Deborah Ta nnen. I have to read a few chapters to understand communication before I begin the essay from hell. ^-^;;

Normal People Do the Craziest Things, by Dr. David Hawkins – I just had the pleasure of reading this book. The title caught my attention first and foremost. I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Hawkins writing. His style is engaging, and yet down to earth. This is an enjoyable, engrossing read. I found once I started reading, I didn’t want to stop. It was like sitting down to coffee with a trusted friend. I was also impressed with Dr. Hawkins, himself. He writes courageously of his own struggles, and his beliefs. He quotes scriptures from the bible, to lend weight to his ideas, without ever sounding tedious or moralizing. Chapter three properly titled “Courageously exploring Inner Space” is fascinating. This chapter has to be my favorite. Each time I reread it, I find a new discovery. This book is a true gem for those seeking perspective and personal growth. I give it four stars.
