Good Reading

I was reading the CN&R this morning and besides the good comic strip, I was intrigued by an article written by Jaime O’Neill. Mr. O’Neill is a former teacher of English at Butte College and knows his subject (and his former students) well.

What he says about writing is so true…and especially this; “Writing," I told them, "is thinking made visible, and the words you commit to paper are a representation of how you think,… I want you to take care because, if you don't care about what you've written, no one else will."

And you wondered why I dislike mispelling? He tells it all. And yes, I have been guilty of it at times. I can only promise to try harder…
