“Readers looking for an innovative way of increasing their writing output will find much to like in HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT, Thom Kudla’s interactive app based on his book HOW I AM DIFFERENT. This two-year system offers daily readings from his inspiring book of poignant personal reflections on life meant as writing prompts. It is easy to use and offers a variety of approaches to reading the book and responding to the day’s reading selections. The best part–you don’t have to be tech savvy to use the app and track responses to prompts.”
