1. Nadine Keels talks
about Book
Presumption. As an author and reader, I could see where a particular title,
cover, blurb could make me wrinkle my nose and pass.
2. Are you having a
hard time finding the right graphic for your blog posts? Why not take your own?
Edie Melson, at The

4. Many of us grew up
reading the Little House books and watching the TV program. Mary, the oldest
Ingalls girl, went blind, supposedly from Scarlet Fever. A researcher has
studied the subject and came to the conclusion that was not the real reason.
Check out the article here.
5. Writers and
readers are always looking for ways to save time, so they can get in more writing
and reading, of course. Check out this post from The
Happier Homemaker. She tells you how to clean your entire house in one
hour.
Writers: Do you take
photos for your blog? What kind of camera works best for you?
Readers: Did you read
the Little House books as a child? What did you think of the article on how
Mary went blind?

I read the Little House books as an adult, and I loved every one. Thanks for the link to the article about the source of Mary's blindness. Interesting!
Hi Susan - measles can make kids go blind .. I believe ...
Making your own graphics makes sense ... I'll check that out ... and the Speaking Tips will be helpful ... I have a clear voice, but am sure I could learn from other aspects ...
Cheers and all the best - Hilary
Every now and then I might use my own pics, but most of the time I'll try to find free ones on Google.... make sense to create a picture bank.
Hi Jean - I loved the Little House books as well. I thought readers and writers would enjoy the article.
Hi Hilary - So nice to see you! I've started taking a few pictures here and there, but I often forget. Photography isn't one of my interests. I have to remind myself to take pictures at family/friend events. :)
Hi Marja - Like you, I've relied on other sources. The one I use most frequently is freeimages. I would like to use more of my own. Today, I snapped a picture of a flowering tree. :)
