I thought it would be great for myContinue reading “Book Reviews and Reflections: The Outlaws”

Here is my journal entry, dated March 6, 2021: For two or three days now I have beenContinue reading “Anniversary Thoughts”
Characters Part 1: Helping Us Understand Ourselves and Others
People who read fiction often talk about how connected they feel to a certain character, how they experienced the character’s joy and pain, or how sad they were when the story ended.
