Some people learn visually. Others are auditory learners. Then there are the hamsters among us who bounce from wall to wall in order to imprint something on their brain.
I am a hamster.
Sitting still just isn't an option. Even now while I'm typing, my foot is swinging back and forth. When I read a book, I'm usually on a treadmill or elliptical at the gym.
Learning isn't a static kind of thing. What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. Different tactics can accomplish the same thing depending on what type of a learner you are. And if you're unsure, here's a quick 20 question quiz to find out at Education Planner. You won't find hamster on the list because it's a titch more scientificky, but you ought to be able to pinpoint the way you learn best.
Now then, on to TODAY'S BLOGAVERSARY QUESTION:
What's one thing you've learned about here at Writer Off the Leash? A plotting tip? Characterization? How to look like an idiot in front of a camera? Share on Twitter, Facebook or the social media of your choice one little tidbit you've gleaned from this blog, and I'll toss your name into the big drawing on Friday. Make sure to let me know where you shared in the comments.

Hi Michelle!
I loved your post! I'm kind of hamsterish too - when I'm focusing on something, either my foot is tapping, my fingers are twirling a pen (if available) or I'm chewing on my lip. Though according to the quiz I am a visual learner. I'm not entirely sure if that's true or not, but that's what it said. :)
I posted my answer to your question on Facebook - I don't have Twitter. Here's the link, in case you're interested: https://m.facebook.com/sarah.baker.587606?ref=bookmark
Thanks!

Excellent! Another entry for you, m'dear!
And thanks!
I have learned that it's always best to be yourself, to let everyone know who you really are. Your Fun Fridays are a breath of fresh air, Michelle. They show us all that you are down to earth, just like everyone else. That is what I am going to share....About your Fun Fridays. ...Facebook, Twitter, Google+
Wowzer! 3 for you, Chappy!
