How to make an author smile!

One of my latest authonomy reviews -

"Real life tales always make for the best reading, and with Glass Half Full, author Sarah-Jane Butfield joins the pantheon of celebrated non-fiction biographers. In particular, the account is engaging from the start, and draws the reader in with combination of graphic scene descriptions and vibrant characters. The width and breadth of the story covers the full gambit of human pathos, never ebbing or becoming stultified in over-elaborations. You can almost taste and feel the Australian outback, its tangibility most evident in the sections which cover tribal customs and near to desolate landscapes. You can't write fiction better than this. Monstrous amount of stars, WL'ed and will be on my bookshelf as as possible."

authonomy writing community: read books online - Glass Half Full by Sarah Jane Butfield: Is your glass half full or half empty? Life is tough and when you feel like the glass is half empty it’s time for change.

The glass is full - always it seems!!

Now I like to think of myself as a positive person; always looking at my glass as half full, even during testing times! However, what about this for an insightful, positive statement, received from a reader/friend on authonomy.

" In all actuality, the glass is completely full all the time. Even though only half full of water, it is neither half full or half empty, the rest of the glass is full of air. Or if there is no water at all, the glass is still full, of something....air, oxygen, hydrogen."

Peter B.

So my glass is full, and at risk of overflowing!!!

Have a great day.

Glass Half Full - by Sarah Jane Butfield

 'It has been said that in life, there are two types of people: those who look at the glass as half empty, and those who see it as half full. Ironically, sometimes life influences our view and changes our perception.'
