Csr Discussion Day: Don't Shout By Sasha Distan

Welcome back to another Discussion day with the Can't Stop Reading Blog Book Club. Whew, is that a mouthful. What isn't a mouthful is the story that is the subject of today's discussion. Quite a bit of the problem we're introduced to right away is that fact that one character doesn't talk at all, at least not out loud. I hope everyone is ready to discuss their thoughts about Don't Shout by Sasha Distan. First, though, we're going to learn a bit more about Sasha, who I subjected to another one of

Writing Tip: Leaving Reviews

This is a first - normally we solicit articles or pull up things from the distant past, but for this week's blog article, I was looking around last Thursday and saw a personal blog that comicfan had written.

So after a little cajoling and offers of first-born puppies, I was able to steal borrow his blog to share it with all of you.   I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!   Leaving Reviews by comicfan   I noticed someone had commen

Writing Tip: The Writing On The Wall

Is the proof in the pudding or do the results stand for themselves? Here is our favorite writing tip guru, Libby Drew, with "The Writing on the Wall" - how using clichés can weaken your writing. Enjoy!   The Writing on the Wall   A cliché is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has become overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect to the point of being trite or irritating, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or no
