Books We Read

You may have noticed the side bar entitled “Books We Like to Dive Into.” This is a list of our favorite books to which we can add titles. This week I am reading a new book about writing. It’s written by the man who wrote the Left Behind books. I’m enjoying reading his comments on writing. I find it easy to get distracted by other things besides my work. I don’t have a teacher telling me to get back to work, or a set schedule as there is at school. But R. Jenkins says that writing is a job, and we wouldn’t get to skip work just because the sun is shining, so writers shouldn’t skip their work because the sun is shining. (Obviously, he doesn’t live in the Pacific Northwest!) I don’t really want to skip work—the sun gives me lots of creative energy—I want to do it all, work and play both! How does the sun affect you? What new books have you read? Any we should add to our blog list?

Little Britches

As I'm reading this book, I'm curious... which character(s) do you like best? I'm finding I really like Fred A. and also the Father. They treat Ralph like a person, they show him respect, and in doing so earn his respect and he is willing to learn from them.

Track

Track is a very good sport, some people use Track to lose weight. Lots of people run or jog or walk. Sometimes Track can be hard for people if they aren't used to it. They usually run out of breath and there side starts to hurt.
