From classics like Little Women to modern-day bestsellers like Pulitzer winner The Goldfinch, there are plenty of upcoming dramas to choose from and ones to catch up on. However, does it always work?

Books can let you imagine the setting or events happening in the story. They are also more detailed than movies because movies sometimes leave out some essential details.

5 Reasons Why Books Are Better Than Movies or TelevisonSeries
  • Imagination. When you just go out and see the film you're showed what everything looks like, you don't get to imagine it
  • Movies Leave Stuff Out. You obviously can't get every detail of an entire novel into a roughly 2-hour time frame
  • Books Are Portable
  • The Story Gets Lost
  • Movies Intensify Everything

But even if you don't, you can dig out those memories that are buried within. A good place to start is with a general time line of your life. You may find that you need to make more than one draft of this line, because you are likely to remember important ...

Guest Post by Author Mary Cunningham

  Cynthia's Attic - Inspiring Young Readers and Writers Writers love to write. It's a passion. But, I discovered another benefit writing for children that I didn’t anticipate. Who knew how much fun I’d have visiting schools and interacting with my target audience? I’ve created several slide presentations that are informative and fun, but the question/answer session is most entertaining. For instance, I'm amazed at the number of elementary and middle-school students who not only love to read, but want to know what it takes to become a published author.  Questions like, “How did you find your publisher?” or, “Who edits your books?” One of the most asked questions is, “Who did your cover?” I love sharing information about one of the best graphic artists in the business, Nathalie Moore.
