  1. How do I find inspiration? 
  2. How do I turn thoughts and ideas into words? 
  3. How do I make my characters seem real? 
  4. How do I write something original when so much has already been written? 
  5. How do I tell a compelling story? 
  Wharton offers advice specific to writing short stories and writing novels. She pulls insights from other great writers along the way and concludes with an in-depth analysis of French novelist Marcel Proust. 
   
  The Writing of Fiction is a chance to mingle with renowned writers and find your own voice. Consider it Wharton’s personal invitation to discover your own potential and jump-start your creative process.

  Simple Montenegrin - A Language...

  This 10 session course provides an introduction to the language of Montenegro. A broad range of topics is covered during this course starting out with basic greetings and answers to questions and then progressing to full sentence structures based on previously learned vocabulary later in the course.Montenegrin is a South Slavic language, closely related to Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian. Historically, these languages were collectively referred to as Serbo-Croatian, a designation that covered the similar dialects spoken across much of the former Yugoslavia. Following the dissolution of Yugoslavia in the 1990s and Montenegro’s independence in 2006, Montenegrin was officially recognized as a distinct language.The language's origins are deeply rooted in the medieval era, with Old Church Slavonic serving as a foundational influence on Montenegrin and other South Slavic languages. Over time, regional dialects and external influences from neighboring countries shaped the modern form of Montenegrin, differentiating it from Serbian and Croatian in pronunciation, vocabulary, and certain grammatical structures. While Montenegrin shares much of its grammar and vocabulary with Serbian, it includes specific phonetic features, such as the distinct pronunciation of the letters 'ś' and 'ź,' which are not present in other variants.Montenegrin is predominantly spoken in Montenegro, a small but culturally rich country in southeastern Europe, with around 250,000 native speakers. It is the official language of Montenegro, though Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian, and Albanian are also widely spoken due to the country’s diverse population. Montenegrin is written in both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts, reflecting its historical ties to both Eastern Orthodox and Western Christian cultural spheres.Montenegrin is employed in all areas of public life in Montenegro, including education, media, and government. The language plays a crucial role in the country’s national identity.

  Knead to Know - A History of Baking

  In Knead to Know: A History of Baking, food historian and chef Neil Buttery takes the reader on a journey exploring the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether they be fit for a monarch's table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer. This book charts innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created.
  
  Everything has a history, but food history is special because it tells so much about our culture and society, our desires and our weaknesses, from the broad sweep of bread creating human civilisation to the invention of the wedding cake, the creation of the whisk, the purpose of the fish heads in a star-gazy pie, or the fact that mince pies used to be meaty.
  
  When we think of the evolution of something, we think every step is an improvement, an incremental elevation toward some peak of perfection as technology improves. This is not always the case. Sometimes things have to become simpler, sometimes knowledge is lost and skills forgotten. As a baker of historical foods, Neil Buttery demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are worth trying out (and mention a few that should perhaps be left in the past).
  
  The reader will be inspired by the characters, creations and inventions of the past to be better and more adventurous bakers.
