The treadmill is really a last resort - it's just boring, even with a good audiobook. I never seem to walk as far indoors.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735215564841700085.post-3599855482189477492014-01-20T06:05:52.282-06:002014-01-20T06:05:52.282-06:00I've never been able to keep a notebook or jou...I've never been able to keep a notebook or journal or diary.

Travers character was such an unhealthy Type One, and Disney was such a high-achieving, likable Type Nine. I noticed right off the bat, first scene with Travers that she was reading Gurdjeiff (who originated the Enneagram), but nothing was ever said about him in the movie. Yet--the writers, of course, knew all about Gurdjeiff and the Enneagram, obviously, to create characters who were so obviously of those types. Didn't you just want to wring Travers's neck most of the time? Ugh. What a cranky woman.

At the moment, this notecard system seems to be serving the purpose: http://thoughtcatalog.com/ryan-holiday/2013/12/the-notecard-system-the-key-for-remembering-organizing-and-using-everything-you-read/<br /><br /><a href="http://www.joyweesemoll.com/" rel="nofollow">Joy's Book Blog</a>Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414405931825593371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735215564841700085.post-79334611356832271762014-01-19T14:19:56.218-06:002014-01-19T14:19:56.218-06:00The things you mention about your classes are the ...The things you mention about your classes are the sorts of things I find myself missing more and more about school even though it's been 20+ years now.

I'm not very good at keeping a writer's notebook either or journal, but I'd like to be. 2. I think that idea of Traveling with the Saints sounds like a very good one. I'd be interested in seeing the photos as I'm sure would others. 3. Yikes, on the Rutherfurd book. As you might know, I like short books. :)Bryan G.

I hope your students enjoy it! Thanks for sharing your Writing Books. I've played with the thought for a long time, but don't know where to start. Looks like a good place in those pages!<br /><br />Have a great week!<br />Suzanne @ Chick with BooksSuzanne Yesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340451897624838384noreply@blogger.com
