I love this. I found it on Pinterest, along with a fantastic board about Freelance Writing.  I followed it immediately.

Sadly, my fiction isn’t getting anywhere these days. I am happy to report it’s because I am writing a lot of non fiction (which I also enjoy!).

If you are working on your novel/screenplay/YouTube series however, I thought this might help!

5 Days: An Interesting Fact about Novels from Real Simple Magazine

5 Days: An Interesting Fact about Novels from Real Simple Magazine

Reading my favorite magazine, contemplating whether I am going to enter the Life Lessons Essay Contest (again), when I found this interesting fact on The Simple List, page 6 of the July issue:

5 Days

[is] How long the effects of reading a novel linger in the average person’s mind, according to a December 2013 study from Emory University in Atlanta. For 19 days, researchers took MRIs of undergraduates before, during and after reading Robert Harris’ 2003 thriller, Pompeii. Interestingly, the area of the brain linked to movement and physical sensation, which showed persistent changes throughout the reading, continued to do so almost a week after the students had finished. After that, the experience may have faded. Ciao, Pompeii. Hello, library.

Of course, we all know that there are some books that change your life. But it’s good to know that at the very least, you can change a reader for almost a week!
