A Writer and His Reading
Volume 1, Issue 5
This second week of September might mean Pumpkin Spice lattes and early autumn feelings for many North Americans, but here at Roof Beam Reader it means 108-degree temperatures and another Sunday Salon!
This week, in addition to recapping my own posts and sharing what I’m currently reading, I’m sharing my favorite reads from my favorite bloggers, as well as a number of fascinating articles from across the web, including some on science, history, and politics.
I look forward to hearing about what you’ve read/written this week, or what you think about the links I’ve shared. Please feel free to comment below. Happy September!
Thank you for stopping by and taking part in another SUNDAY SALON. There was much to choose from this week, and I hope I have presented you with a decent selection. Some of these I found interesting and engaging, others troubling and bothersome. I would love to hear your thoughts on any of these or the other things you’ve read this week!

You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence. Octavia E. Butler

I’m enjoying the variety of articles you include in your Sunday Salon posts. I’m flattered you included my Big Book Summer Challenge recap. 🎃

I like that outline post. I think students might respond to it. Hmmm.

I know! I saved it for later, to give as required reading during the pre-writing phase for the research paper.

Wish I had come across that advice on creating outlines a few years ago when I was doing a second degree “for fun”- loved the studying bu hated having to write essays
