Question Time

      Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also help me get feedback on a number of questions. Do you prefer to have a book in your hand or have you already adjusted to reading eBooks? I still prefer to have a book in my hand. Yes, smelling that book and turning those pages!:) Nevertheless I am facing reality that there are a lot of good eBooks out there so I had better enjoy some of them. That is just what I did recently. Two of them were ‘21 Days Of Gratitude Challenge’ by Shelley Hitz and ‘13 Ways to Get the Writing Done Faster’ by Linda Formichelli and Carol Tice.
      I have some more downloaded on my Kindle for PC that I hope to read soon. I love eating chicken and cooking it in different ways so I am already looking through the book ‘303 Chicken Recipes’ by Luke Wren. In the meantime I can’t wait to read ‘People Can’t Drive You Crazy If You Don’t Give Them The Keys’ by Mike Bechtle. I love that title!

Question Time

    
      A New Year is here and I have decided to have a blog post every weekend where I ask and answer questions. I think it is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also for me to get feedback on a number of questions. Here is question No.1 Do you always make New Year's Resolutions?
      Over the years I have made some New Year's Resolutions. In recent years they have usually been about ways to cope with the loss that I have faced, ways to increase my spirituality and faith, plans for my writing career and efforts to ensure good health. I do not always achieve some of them but while I do not think this is the end of the world I think it is worth the effort.
