Practice makes perfect

Back when I was in in secondary school, we were made to write summaries and book reviews all the time. Till we were sick of doing them. I remember being quite good at them.

Alas, that was before. Long long ago.

After not utilizing those skills for DECADES,  I find myself having diffculty submitting a simple book review on Amazon. It's pathetic.

I can't just keep saying the book was "nice and interesting" ... Good God. Of course, I don't need to do a book review for Amazon. I just thought it would be neat to submit one when I liked the book a lot. I think other people contemplating buying the ebook would appreciate it. I know I do. I usually look through the reviews before actually hitting "purchase".

I know I'm out of practice. Man, what do you expect? The only times I hold a pen and write down stuff is when I have to sign something. Even my grocery lists aren't written down anymore. My maid writes down the stuff I need to buy on the white board mounted at the side of my fridge, and I snap a photo of it with my iphone. Huh.

Ok, I'm off to attempt that book review now ...
