Hi Asa: I liked your article of The Value of Deliberate Reading. Mind you, I write because I love stories, and find that creating narrative that displays the life I have led rewarding, because I only publish when I am in love with the piece. I know there is money to be made in the "self-help" model, but there are so many coaches and gurus out there hawking all knids of schemes, that occassionally, I find someone who really has something to say. Thanks. Regards
