Pleasing Readers
by • • 0 Comments
Sometime readers come to a blog, a post, a story, or a book and don’t have a positive reading experience.

King) said something that struck a deep nerve and sent a shudder through my being (I am not joking). He said: I used to think of “slothful” as synonymous with “laziness” — but this book made me realize what…
