What are you reading?
Personally, I hate this question. I was reminded of this fact a few minutes ago while reading a blog post giving advice to introverts attending writers conferences. One of the suggestions was to ask what are you currently reading as a conversation opener. Generally, I'm speechless when someone uses that question on me....... even when I am in … Continue reading What are you reading?
