Today's meditation is regarding how writer are entertainers. I most liked what the author said in the "For Further Reflection" Section: "Readers love to be informed in an entertaining manner. Fiction, we might even say, is philosophy, psychology, history, and sociology dressed up in dramatic scenarious. We learn best when ideas are played out on the stage of everyday experience."
For today's "try this": take a subject you know well and retell it in a way that makes for entertaining reading. For example, if you knwo something about baseball, write an essay about batting technique that would fascinate young readers.
