Reflection #7

Recently, I have been reading Writing Down the Bones. While I was reading, I found some interesting and important details. I can only tell you one important piece. Here goes: For a good writer, you need to do and follow these three guides. They are: read a lot, listen well and deeply and write a lot. It also notes not to think too much. By doing these three things, you will be a successful writer within no time. I also found out that listening is receptivity. The deeper you listen, the better you can write. These two things interconnect each other. In the book, it show how to keep you mind set to your paper. If you have you mind wandering, bring it gently back. That way, you can have your previous mind directed to your paper. Also, from reading, I learned new words. The one that I found really new to me is SYNTAX. I never knew what syntax means. Fortunately, I now know what it means. Reading Writing Down the Bones is really a great help for us "writers."
