Book2use - Almost Green by James Glave

Almost Green: How I Saved 1/6th of a Billionth of the Planet 
Picked up this book for a light reading on how to be green. James gave his full account of his pursuit of being green. His encounter, his problem and his success of being himself and his dream. I admire his endearing effort on being Green.

From his book,
quote:
"Hey, Dad," asked Sabrina, " remember how you said our new car was much nicer to the planet?"
"Yeah?"
"That's sounds pretty good to me."
"It does, doesn't it? I feel much better about our car. Don't you?"
"I guess so."
Then, a beat.
"But what about all the other cars?"
unquote

There is nothing wrong with other cars but it is the mindset of people that makes the difference.

Book2Use - Courage & Craft - Writing our life into Story

This book, Courage & Craft - Writing our life into Story, is by Barbara Abercrombie.
Courage and Craft: Writing Your Life into Story


One of the best writing book that I come across. She has given many tips on how to start writing.

I read and applied one of her methods on writing that is: Write non-stop for 5 minute, 10 minutes (you decide)  anything that comes to your mind, without stopping, without punctuation and do it as fast as possible. Do this everyday to make it a habit. You can prepare a list for this writing exercise. The more you practice, the easier it will get.

There are lots more practices or "To Do" in her book. It is a good "How to" book that helps you with writing.

So, Just Write!
