From Mo’s Desk: For Book Lovers Everywhere

By Muse MarketingFrom Mo's Desk, Muse News

I am an unapologetic book lover. There are so many times that I have picked up a good book and gotten completely swept away by it. I have many a night said to myself, “Just one more chapter,” and been up until 1 or 2 in the morning. There are some books that I’ve loved so much that I read them more than once. Rereading them is like greeting a group of old friends as you get swept up in their stories once again. Two of my personal favorites are the Belgariad and Mallorean series from David Eddings. They were…

Here’s to a New Year…and Decade! | From Mo’s Desk

By Muse MarketingFrom Mo's Desk, Muse News

Earlier this month, I was admiring the beauty of the full moon. So clean, so bright. And a couple of thoughts came to me. First, “This was the last full moon of the year.” Then, “Holy cow! This is the last full moon of this decade!” That’s right. I didn’t even think of it until that moment. This decade is almost over. With the new year usually comes the hope and promise of new opportunities. This year it seems so much more significant, especially when you think of what a whole decade can bring. So, let’s raise a glass to…

In Celebration of the American Worker…

It is a celebration of the American worker and all they have achieved. The first Labor Day was celebrated in 1882 in New York City. 10,000 people marched down the streets of Manhattan for labor rights, in a time where most Americans (children included) worked 12 hours a day, 6 or 7 days a week.

It’s National Thesaurus Day!

By Muse MarketingFrom Mo's Desk, Muse News

As someone who uses a thesaurus on a regular basis, I was surprised that I did not know that there was a national day of celebration for it. The thesaurus is a best friend to writers who are looking for the right word to express their thoughts and feelings. The thesaurus was brought into being by Peter Mark Roget for the first time in 1852. The thesaurus lists synonyms and antonyms for words. Writers tend to use it so that repetition in their sentences doesn’t become an issue. Sometimes they use it to find words that better suite the sentence they have written. The bonus…

Left Handedness: A Super Power

By Muse MarketingFrom Mo's Desk, Muse News

August 13th marks 41 years of celebrating International Left-Handers Day. You right-handers may not know this, but thirteen percent of the world’s population are left hand dominant. You may also know that this means the right side of a lefty’s brain is in control. People who are “right brained”, or left-handed, tend to be creative. They are visual thinkers, have good spatial awareness and active imaginations. You will find a higher percentage of left-handed individuals appear in professions related to music, the arts, and media. Even though we may have our difficulties with scissors and knives, and must buy a…
