    Dear Anastasia Suen! Honored as can be that you are featuring my book, A DRIVE IN THE COUNTRY, on your site. So glad it helps demonstrate two of the six traits of writing. (Who knew they were counted! I just use ‘em all, if I can!) Admittedly, this book is both a personal poem for me, and one that I hope can be a universal experience. I used my “local” experiences as a way of suggesting and triggering local moments in the reader’s own. That’s the hope. Perhaps that’s one of the six traits? I remember when I was a younger reader that my biggest pleasure was reading a professional writer’s work (aka, a book), and suddenly seeing words that related to my own life, experience, observations, feelings. That sudden sense of being recongized, welcomed, authorized…well, I’m sure that’s what encouraged me to become a writer myself. It’s what I continue to value as a reader.
    All good wishes from rural Ohio to your visitors and readers. I certainly know that “driving” plays a big part out there in Texas. MJR!

    I’m so glad you found the blog! We also had Sunday drives when I was a child in Florida. I hope the blog readers will share your book with their students. I know I really enjoyed it! :-) Anastasia
