Remember When You Had Time to Read?

From:  Jill Brennan

Dear Friend,

These days, life is so hectic – who has time to read anymore? Work, the kids, friends and family, meals, your home – when do you have time to spend on you?

Well, what fast food did for your compressed mealtime, espresso FICTION™ is about to do for your busy day – And it's actually good for you! Think of it as...

"Fast Food for Your Mind!"

emember the good old days in school, when you had time to indulge yourself? Maybe your passion was sports, maybe movies, but always – always! – there was the reading you loved to do. You read voraciously, and at times, you'd read anything you could get your hands on.

So what the heck happened?

Well, in a nutshell, life happened. And as the world sped up, you read less and less. Who has time anymore to pick up a book?

I mean think about it:

• Have you read anything (strictly for the pleasure of reading) in the last 2 months?
  
  
• Does it seem like the only time you have to read is when you're on vacation?
  
  
• Did you finish the last book you started? Do you remember what that book was?
  
  
• And do you miss reading?

For most people, it's hard to find the time to put aside. But there's good news on the doorstep.

Reading Was On The Decline – Until Now!

Video games, computers, long hours at work, short hours at home. They all contribute to the general decline in reading we all know is happening. Heck, watch your kids – or maybe even yourself – using an online messenger service and you'll KNOW how badly the art of communication is being beaten by technology.

And if you've ever typed “L8R” into your PC, it's time to get back to a real language.

Why did I start espresso FICTION™?

I had been writing fiction for 5 years before I began espresso FICTION™.  As a mother of two boisterous young boys, I found that I had less and less time to read novels and I really missed it.  After talking to friends about this loss of fiction in my life, I realised that I wasn't alone.  We were all in the same situation; exhausted and frustrated from trying to fit into our extremely busy lives all those things we used to do. 

Then one Saturday morning it hit me.  Short stories, those that were well written and engaging, were a great antidote for anyone who didn't have time to sit around and read a novel.  Because I'd been writing for so many years I knew there were lots of great writers out there who just wanted to have their work read but with fewer and fewer publications taking on short stories, the market was dwindling. 

Seemed to me like the perfect match:  time poor fiction lovers wanting a great quick read and short story writers who wanted to share their work. 

Eleven weeks later espresso FICTION™ went live!
