Little photo adventure: Princess and her cat get a new book!!

I sent my friend Princess the proof copy of the new novella to check out, and she's so excited!

She and her cat Priscilla made a pot of tea and settled down to read. They called me up on Skype to tell me all about it!

 
Um, Princess, that's a little upside down!
That's better.
They really like the cover. It worked out well!

 
The story's good, too! The Skype image is a little blurry, across the Atlantic... I'm not sure if she's reading right-side up here or up-side down!


It's available on Amazon, either the cute little minipaperback or the ebook (pre-order for July 16). I do send free e-copies of all of my books to readers who will write reviews on Goodreads, so if you would like a free copy, just ask. :) Write me a nice little note at christabedwin at gmail.com and we'll do a deal.

Using Mathematical Concepts to Decipher Languages

By Christa Bedwin In mathematics, exercises and activities help students to systematically build on what they already know.  Through a step-by-step approach, students develop math skills and understanding, and eventually, the procedural ‘how’ evolves into the conceptual ‘why.’ In the same way, language study in natural, practical situations, like travel to foreign countries or even frequent visits to ethnic neighborhoods or restaurants, can provide opportunities for breakthroughs. Basic understanding of foreign language grammatical concepts eventually gives way to natural conversations—opening a new world of possibilities. Let’s say you’re in Italy and you walk into a coffee shop for a cup of coffee and to ask for directions. If you ask about paying for coffee when it’s delivered to you, you would likely try to put together the words from a pocket dictionary, “I + pay,” to form “io pagare?” without even trying to sort out the grammar. The server might reply, “Dopo, d...

The Experience of Physical Gratitude and How it Shapes Plot and Character

What makes you grateful? The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, Receiving Prosperity by Louise Hay, and every one of Abraham-Hicks' teachings are about creating a successful and happy life by focussing on what makes you grateful. One of the main reasons we often have physical hobbies is because they make us feel good. They put us into a happy little state and some of us even hum or sing while we are doing our hobbies. It gives us a precious place to think our thoughts or just get in a happy, healthy mental zone of gratitude. There is the reward, of course, of a new outfit or a toque or a birdhouse when your project is done, but there is even greater value, for many hobbyists, in the doing of the activity, itself.  I mentioned that I am building a greenhouse out of old windows from a house in my Nova Scotia neighbourhood.  I have been very startled several times during the process by people saying "what are you growing to grow in it?" because that had not even entered my mind, and I...
