Driving in the rain to the office is not fun. This morning it was raining pretty heavily in our area. Everybody slowed down on the highways. It took me more than an hour to get to the office. you have to get used to the traffic patterns here in comparing to the traffic in my hometown in China. Over there the traffic is slower. But drivers tend to not follow the rules. They would cut in and out of traffic lanes as they wish. This often caused big problems. Here in the U.S., the traffic is much faster. Drivers are more polite. But due to the higher speed, it's dangerous if any traffic accident happens.

I have dusted out a book that I have in my bookshelves. It is 《the Complete Handbook of Novel Writing》. There was an interview or a short assay written by a successful writer in each chapter. Some of them were my favorite authors such as Margret Atwood, and James Patterson. This is the first edition of the book. After this one, there were two more editions of the book that were published. Each one had the interviews from a different group of writers. So it's worth to read all of them if I find the first edition good enough. I think it is after I read the first three chapters yesterday. After I rejoined Jianshu recently, I feel like that I need to learn more on writing to build some more solid foundations on my writing skills. This time, I will be reading this book with more focus.
