Readers and non-readers

There are so many types of writing. Writing a novel is long distance writing, writing to blog is short quick steps. I have been writing to blog like a short story which is shorter than novel writing but much more than needed for blog writing. So, with the new year I will be working on writing to blog.

Novel writers love readers. With the "Lost Survivor" book I have had some interesting interaction with non-readers. People who say they don't read books. During one of my book signing a couple came from a town twenty miles away. They were old friends. He told me he didn't read books, just newspapers, but because his wife want the book he would try to read it. He called the next day after he had been up all night reading the book. Another couple bought the book at a book signing, he was not a book reader, she sent my wife an email that she was reading the book and making comments out loud. Her husband took the book and disappeared into the bathroom for most of the day. I guess it shows that writers can love non-readers that read their book.
