Thank you Lynn. I read books from my public library through an app on my iPad. When I come across vocabulary or phrases that jump out at me (like…ahh, that’s just the word I was looking for!), or when I notice how the writer quite simply reveals his theme through a single sentence – If there’s something I want to remember, then I take a screen shot of the page. That way I can keep on with my reading, but can look back at the screen shot during my writing time and incorporate some of those ideas.
As usual you have made an excellent point. I don’t read enough but when I have, I have always gained great ideas for my own story. I am off to the local Library today to find a good creative non fiction story to read. It is winter here and the nights get dark by 6pm so it is a good chance to read.
