I was listening to the radio on my earphones, as is my want, and there was an interview with a successful writer whose name escapes me.  I was interested to hear he actually keeps a diary of things that happen that he may at some time use in a book.  Real experiences and snippets, like the cab driver explaining a point of English (as opposed to American) to him or a funny incident with is niece.  Seemed like a good idea to me.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Looking forward to next week then!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3685743483548397573/8911163248357757346/comments/default/6253754632323693983'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3685743483548397573/8911163248357757346/comments/default/6253754632323693983'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.inkandbeans.com/2008/09/my-culture-consultant.html?showComment=1221645120000#c6253754632323693983' title=''/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09594327337549020199</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.inkandbeans.com/2008/09/my-culture-consultant.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3685743483548397573.post-8911163248357757346' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3685743483548397573/posts/default/8911163248357757346' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-461082277'/></entry></feed>
