One-on-One with Author Paige Dearth

Hi there!

This week, the Literary Fiction newsletter is jam-packed with a lot of interesting new features that I trust you'll find most exciting. First and foremost, I'll present to you the latest article from the Literary Fiction site: my one-on-one with Author Paige Dearth.

Paige is the author of Believe Like a Child, - a novel I reviewed a couple of articles ago -, and she has also come forth with her second book, When Smiles Fade, which I'll be reviewing in a few months' time. If you read my review on her first book, you'll understand that, although I was thoroughly impressed with her writing technique, I wasn't much excited about the way the book started...the too-many situational descriptions that the book could've done without, as well as the intense ferocity that permeates throughout the novel. Paige answers my question about this as best she can, and I hope that this interview helps to answer some questions you might have as well, if you've read her work. Here's the link:

EDITOR RECOMMENDED RANDOM ACTIVITY

Get over your fear of public speaking. Easier said than done, isn't it? Indeed it is...it's not that simple to get over a big fear like that of public speaking. BUT, it can be done. It can be worked on. How? By practicing. How, you ask again...well, the quickest way to hop on the train towards the road to victory over that fear, is to join a club, group, or association that encourages and embodies what you fear. An example of this would be, say, a book club - where you can interact with book lovers like yourself and share your thoughts about your favorite books. Another such club would be a Toastmasters club. This association greatly encourages public speaking and teaches you on how to be confident in both verbal and non-verbal communication. I myself recently joined a Toastmasters club (only as a visitor so far), and I have to say it's indeed an awesome way to improve yourself and learn to be self-assured in not only yourself as a person, but in what you have to offer/say. So let's get over our fear of public speaking...join a book club or a Toastmasters association, check it out this coming week...if you like what you see and feel comfortable about the way they do things, then become a member, and realize the benefits such an organization can hold for you. Let's do it. This week.


LIFE QUOTE FOR THE WEEK

The moment you feel like you have to prove your worth to someone, is the moment to absolutely and utterly walk way.
--- Anonymous
