Ashbiz Toilets and rsomething. Even though the stuff I'm reading is private, I would wait to be alone in my room to start reading. But never ever in bathrooms or toilets.

Ashbiz May be if you start to write again, you can end up being a writer again. What I would advise you is to do some writings everyday. This will keep you up with writing. Soon, you shall develop interesting ideas. Good luck with anything you might choose.

Ashbiz I have never write any book in my life. I guess that it must certainly be quite difficult for a newbie. Regarding the publication of your book, you need to send your scripts in the proper format to an editor. Obviously, it is difficult to find one. First, you...

Is English a diffcult language?

leo2727 @leo2727 (138) • India 1 Jul 08

I think English it is diffcult language especially if it is not your mother tongue .but i feel there r many other languages which r more diffcult to learn like sanskrit ......

language

Ashbiz I think that any language that is not your mother tongue is going to be difficult. This is simply obvious. It can take some time before you can properly master a foreign language. Regarding sanskrit, it can be even more difficult for someone who is completely...

how much time?

baebieDARNA30 @baebieDARNA30 (788) • Philippines 1 Jul 08

how much time do you allot in your everyday for reading? like for example reading books, magazines, or any other reading materials..

4 responses

Ashbiz I do not allot any amount of time for everyday reading. I read only when something has grabbed my interests. At this rate, I rad an average of two to three books monthly. However, I think that it would be a good thing to allot some time for everyday reading.

Ashbiz I like to read in lonely places where I will not get disturbed by any one. That place is my room. I read my book either on the sofa or on bed. When you are not disturbed by any one you get carried away by the story. Of course, the book must be interesting and...
