Writer Impossible: Writing & Reading

I found all these at the library. I'm reading three of them concurrently because each offers a slightly different take on a region, and it's interesting to compare them. Afghanistan, The Places In Between and Bad Lands all offer such contrasting observations told by very different persons. Eric Newby's book is an old one but always worth revisiting. Anyway, check them out. They're all worth reading and believe me --I've looked more than once over some traveling boots (but never fear --this summer I'm flying across to the East coast, driving north, then across and down. It will take forever. I will be with teens. Pray for me.) The movie raises good questions about causes and passions. And Kent Haruf's book "West of Last Chance" is about the American west, and is pure relaxation for me.



Also, in my final rewrite, I've started up with a new writing program called Scrivener. This could singlehandedly change the way novels look. It's a gem. And it's only $39.99. It's only for Mac users. Wow, this is pretty incredible.
