[pg.166]  The last method is to let your mind skitter all it pleases, watching it indulgently as it moves.  Presently it will grow quieter.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

Currently, I am reading Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brande.  

I got it on one of the last weekends Borders was open and honestly, I don’t like it.  

It’s a 1980′s re-copy of her original 1934 publication, with a foreword by John Gardner, and while it is cute/funny that she says “and if you’ve learnt how to use a typewriter or would rather write with quill to paper” and things like that, it isn’t what I was expecting at all – and I really don’t know what I was expecting!
