Can suggested book club discussion questions make you a better writer?
Do you belong to a book club? I briefly belonged to one once. It was during a 10-day Princess cruise to the Panama Canal. I don’t remember the book title now, but Wayne and I both read whatever it was. All I remember was that it was a mystery setContinue Reading
