We all have our own methods of learning things. I learn by example. A writing mentor can talk to me until she’s blue in the face about a technique and I won’t understand what she’s trying to explain. But if she shows me a before and after of a piece of writing using this technique, I grasp the concept immediately.
Bee, the heroine from Sinful Rewards, is an only child, raised by a single mom. Her mom is known as the wild woman of Happydale, a very small town, which left Bee isolated from the people around her. Her mom also had to work long hours at the diner, trying to pay the rent.
School taught her English and math and science. Bee taught herself many of the other skills in life.
How did she teach herself?
Here is a revealing snippet from Sinful Rewards 1…
I fiddle with my phone, willing it to ring. Nicolas’s number is listed on my incoming call list. As a joke, I draft a text to him, linking to an article I found in a woman’s magazine. The title is “How to Be a Better Friend.”
I shouldn’t send it. I know I shouldn’t. My finger has a brain of its own, however, and presses the send key.
Bee read articles. When she had a question or a concern, she couldn’t ask her hard working mom. Instead she researched the subject, reading magazines, eventually Googling it (Google launched in 1997 so yes, Bee is very much part of the Google generation). A much younger Bee must have read articles on how to fit in during recess, how to deal with boys, how to apply make-up.
This is one of the many reasons Bee is proud about appearing normal. She should be proud. She taught herself these life skills.
How do you learn? Have you taught yourself a skill?
