helenjain21 @helenjain21 (8) • United States 6 May 09

I recently watched X-men Origins with my husband and I enjoyed it. To be perfectly honest, I didn't expect the amount of action that the movie had. I never would have guessed that there would be so many explosions and guns....

How difficult is it to be published?

helenjain21 @helenjain21 (8) • United States 6 May 09

I'm considering writing a novel, but I have no idea how to go about getting published. Would it be best to start small and work up to a novel, like trying to get published for articles, essays or short stories and then see about...

Do You Know How Many Words Per Minute You Read?

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 6 May 09

If I'm actually doing the reading, I read about 100 words per minute for a little while (1 minute or so) and then it becomes much less. So I've been learning audio speed reading for several months now. And I am so proud of...

helenjain21 I don't know exactly how many words per minute I can read, but I find that if it's something I enjoy reading, like a good novel, then I'm less inclined to want to read quickly and I slow down. If it's something like a school text, then I tend to read faster so...

helenjain21 If you're eyes are getting irritated from reading, check the lighting. Make sure you have plenty of light since reading in dim light puts a strain on your eyes. Also, if you're reading for long periods of time, take breaks. That will give your eyes a chance to...

helenjain21 While I prefer to read a novel in book form, I don't find it odd that you'd read books online or e-books. It's convenient sometimes to read online. If it makes you a bit sad, pick up a book from your local library. You can carry a small book with you.

helenjain21 I wouldn't advise speed reading. Although it's claimed that you can remember the reading just as much as reading at a slower pace, I've found that is not the case. I've also found that speed reading makes it more like a chore than an enjoyment, ruining an...

helenjain21 If you like to read science fiction/fantasy, I would suggest Serpent's Shadow by Mercedes Lackey or Moon Called by Patricia Briggs. I enjoyed both books when I read them.
