March 14 - March 15, 2012

I have been so attached to my novel I didn't get on the laptop and just read. A lot has happened in David's life. I pity the child. He was always known as the bad kid but come to think of it...if his mother fed him, he wouldn't be stealing food from other people or the supermarket. David is now out of his mother's house but yet his mother is still out to destroy him. A lot of people that David thought would help him are people that are on his mother's side...out to put David into a mental institution. Luckily, Mrs. Lilian Catanze told David everything. David has been to so many foster homes and in and out of The Hill.

What is up with David's mother? Why the sudden change of her attitude towards David? Why, now that David is out of her life and house, does she still want to destroy him? What did David do so bad for her to treat him that way? Don't tell me she's disciplining him! Because that's more life torture abuse to me. Dam bitch needs a good kick in her face! Like, seriously!

10 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR READING

In the modern age of information, reading truly is a fundamental survival skill. Here are ten tips that anyone can use to improve their reading skills:

1. You don't have to be a great reader to get the point.

Some people read fast and remember everything. Others read slowly and take a couple of times to get all the information. It doesn't matter, really, so long as when you read, you get the information you're seeking.

2. Know WHY you're reading.

Are you reading for entertainment or to learn something? Decide why you're reading before you start and you'll greatly improve your comprehension and your enjoyment.

3. You don't need to read everything.

Not every magazine, letter, and email you receive contains information you need. In fact, most of it is simply junk. Throw it away, hit the delete key! Just doing this will double the amount of time you have available to read.

4. You don't need to read all of what you DO read.

Do you read every article of every magazine, every chapter of every book? If so, you're probably spending a lot of time reading stuff you don't need.

Be choosy: select the chapters and articles that are important. Ignore the rest.

5. Scan before you read.

Look at the table of contents, index, topic headers, photo captions, etc. These will help you determine if, a) you have a real interest in this reading, and b) what information you're likely to get from it.

6. Prioritize your reading.

You can't read everything all at once (and wouldn't want to). If it's important, read it now. If it's not, let it wait.

7. Optimize your reading environment.

You'll read faster and comprehend more if you read in an environment that's comfortable for you.

8. Once you start, don't stop!

Read each item straight through. If you finish and have questions, go back and re-read the pertinent sections. If you don't have questions, you got what you needed and are ready to move on.

9. Focus.

Remember, you're reading with a purpose, so focus on that purpose and the material. If you lose interest or keep losing your place, take a break or read something else. You can keep track of where you are by following along with your hand. This simple technique helps you focus and increase your concentration.

10. Practice!

The more you read, the better reader you'll become (and smarter, too)! So, feed your mind: read!
