exploring the writing world
My great intentions of reading while in hospital for a few days at the start of the month never eventuated. My heavy brain just couldn’t cope with reading, and it’s taken me a few weeks to get back into it. But here’s what my reading tells about me.

The alternative prompt for this challenge asks us to Pay it Forward, and profile another writer’s blog post with our response. Today I’m profiling Gabriela Pereira’s excellent site, DIYMFA, but ranting against the whole Reading Like a Writing message found on a must-bookmark post.

Another reading log post from me, covering the previous week. Surreptitiously, this post is falling on Day Seven of the 10 Day Writing Blogger Challenge, which asks us to profile 2 books we’ve read and loved lately. And I never planned it.
