Narrator: they were not fine

Literature and poetry are the ways we pass on culture generation to generation. We should choose the stories and instruction methods that best support that transfer and instill a love for it
I had a couple teens come in the shop to study today & they were talking about literature/poetry & said precisely this: they loved poetry until they were required to analyze it at school. It seems to me that it is best to fall in love with the written word & let the rest follow.

Sci-do is when bioluminescent native wildlife Fantasy is when…?
My books are certainly full of action and intrigue, but this quieter sequence in Ronan remains one of my favorites. I might just be speaking for myself, but I’ve always found it very cinematic. Do you even write sci-fi if there’s not some form of bioluminescent native wildlife?

Ok, live action Gaston: This will not be a kids movie—they already did a live action Beauty and the Beast. This will be a dark fantasy action flick a la Snow White and the Huntsman Gaston will be a poor but caring guy who hunts the king’s land illegally. Belle will be a

Reading fiction as an adult is important for mental health among many other things I will say, though, not everything that isn’t “literature” is slop. And you are an adult So read whatever you want
