Writing Progress

-
I'm still not finished with the book revision - after several setbacks (some my fault, some just - Life). I did, however, finish my first short story. It's on Kindle, and, because Kindle Unlimited won't allow a price less than $0.99, that's what it is. Of course, if you have KU (free for the first month), it will cost nothing.

On the other hand, the price is about the same as a cheap cup of coffee. Which, given the title, is appropriate.

At 16, he left to attend college - actually learning things, not partying in FL on Spring Break. He left 2 years later to join the Army.- Lee - he had already graduated from college, and was working as a lawyer when he joined up. - Hale - at 14, he was sent to Yale College. After graduating, with 1st-Class Honors, he became a…

Illiteracy vs. Alliteracy

Illiteracy is best defined as the INABILITY to read, or at read fluently.

Alliteracy, on the other hand, occurs when a person CAN read, but does not. Alliteracy is becoming quite common. Increasing numbers of people seldom, if ever, read, unless there is no other alternative. They prefer text messaging to email, video to text, and get virtually all their news from television and cable.

The ability to sit still and concentrate is not an innate characteristic of humans. Repose does not come naturally to active youngsters. It must be developed, little by little, until the person has learned to appreciate and be comfortable in silent tranquility. Today's young have never been taught to listen to the "quiet within". They live in the midst of constant noise - many homes never turn the TV off, whether or not anyone is watching or listening.
