ADD, Plotting, and the "W"
by Jonathan Wright

Hey, all you ADD people out there, pay attention!

(Ha! ADD joke!)

This may not be very orderly, for reasons that will become quite clear. But it may help.

Facts of Life

by DaHeap
Lord Jozef The novelist Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), now recognized as a master of English for such books as Lord Jim and Nostromo, did not speak a word of the language until he was 19 years old. He was born in Poland, and his real name was Tedor Jozef Konrad Walecz Koreniowski. He learned English after becoming a mariner aboard British merchant ships in the 1870's and published his first novel, Almayer's Folly, in 1895 when he was 38 years old.

Reader's Digest Book of Facts 1987.
