I think this is why I have a wide span of vocabulary, willingness to grow as an individual and writer, and to adapt to change when it comes. Some of us are trapped into our own culture and world, and base these viewpoints in our writings. <BR/><BR/>I love the library. I go daily or at least 4 times a week. I would love you to visit me at my site and read my books. <BR/><BR/>www.adriennaturner.webs.com<BR/>www.dream4more.webscom<BR/>www.blogtalkradio.com/Adrienna-TurnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495590259470968890.post-22450233255855359112009-03-11T12:46:00.000-05:002009-03-11T12:46:00.000-05:00I loved this.

It's great to have those favorites that you always come home to, but what separates a good writer from a great one are those that are open to a wide range of genres. I find it exciting to go to off the beaten path bookstores and find books that I'd never heard of by authors that I hadn't known existed. Read authors of varied cultures, from many genres, from different generations and study them as you read them. <BR/><BR/>Based on this interview, I'd love to check out this writer!<BR/><BR/>Miki Starr<BR/>author of Zella Dora<BR/>http://www.mikistarr.com/psycho.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
