I Wonder Who Reads This Anymore?

This Summer is dedicated to reading. Why? Because I'd like to improve my writing skills. And now you ask, but you are reading, how will this help writing? I don't know it just works, okay? I've decided to improve my writing skills because I was checking out different things on the internet the other day and realized, oh gosh, you can make a whole load of money when you win writing contests. So I entered one the other day as a first step to making millions. Hopefully. It was a writing contest held in Penticton in memory of this guy who used to write...before he died. Who knows, maybe he's writing in his grave. Anyway. You could either enter a short story, or 5 poems. Since all my stories were longer than the word count limit I decided to enter 5 poems. Now I must wait until September 30th to find out the results. I'm honestly not expecting to win or anything, I could be up against people with like 50 years writing experience, or decendants of C.S. Lewis! WHOA! I just think it's good to practice, and the more I enter these things, the more I will get a feel for what these contest judges are looking for. There's numerous contests I could enter where the gran prize is stuff like 1,000 dollars and publication, but I figure I should start small. So with this contest, whoever wins, will recieve 100 dollars and a one time publication on their website (www.penwriters.com). Don't worry, for entering contests I do check out their credibility as well, so I'm not totally scammed. Anyways I just decided if I could make a little extra money for something that I love to do, why not? Brilliant. One day I'll have to face the real world and get a job though...which is looking like this fall...sometime.
Incase you are now wondering which books I'm reading this summer, I shall list them for you!








I think it's a pretty good line up. Who knows if I'll finish them all before summer ends, but it's something to do, yes? Cool. I have already read these two books:



They were definately good reads. The first one was just hilarious but also educational on the different ideas people have of how the world will end, words associated with end times in the Apocolyptionary, and numerous prophecies made throughout history. The second one is a MUST READ. It has completely changed the way I look at people, it's not a huge book, but it leaves you with a huge thought. READ IT. I did.
