A Cheer for Those Doing NaNoWriMo

25th Use for Newspapers

After reading Simply Thrifty’s latest entry: 24 Uses for Newspapers, I couldn’t help adding just one more. Reading newspapers gives me heaps to write about.
I find the letters to the editor particularly good. Someone will write a provocative letter about a subject I either agree or disagree with. Some letters will really get me […]
