Wow! It looks like I didn't write at all in 2011.

Of course, that is not true. I did write, but I was handicapped by a bunch of physical things. Bah! Bad Body, bad! I will attempt to do better in 2012. Occasionally I will have something from my daily writing, but there might be other material here as well.

For instance, I recommend this book Seize the Story by Victoria Hanley. It is a Handbook for Teens who like to Write. Her website is Victoria Hanley . I gave this book as a Christmas present to one of my young friends.
So, it looks like I will occasionally mention books I've read. You can go to my book list to see a number of books I have liked. I no longer put number ratings on the books. I know many of these authors and they are all five star people.
I love writer quotes:
"There is no way of writing well and also of writing easily."
Anthony Trollope (24 April 1815 – 6 December 1882) was one of the most successful, prolific, and respected English novelists of the Victorian era.
More info: A.T. Overview
Trollope treated literature as a trade and wrote by the clock. No author has been more methodical. He was prolific and astute in depicting those he rubbed elbows with. I confess I have never read a whole book by A.T., but I have seen the BBC works based on his writing.

Here's to a new year! I pray for productivity in 2012. Good health to you and wise decisions.
