From The Mind of Nimrod Rising Author, Steven Clark Bradley
2008-11-13 08:42:00 Return To Main MenuFrom The Mind of Nimrod Rising Author, Steven Clark Bradley“I got an Idea!” “How do I organize it?” “How do I develop the characters?” “How do I keep going”Ever feel that way as a writer, or have you wondered how a novel gets from start to finish?Perseverance is one word that best describes the main character trait that all dedicated writers possess. Author, Steven Clark Bradley can attest to that as he developed the characters, setting, atmosphere and all the million things that go into holding a story together and bringing the new world into the realm of plausible and real. The best way to describe this important word is three simple words: “Never giving up!” Sometimes, when we find ourselves wanting to quit something, we feel pulled in two directions. Have you ever heard these voices in your head? “There’s no use in continuing!” or perhaps “I have failed and I give up!” These feelings are almost always untrue and are usually caused...

2008-06-09 22:43:00 by Kyle Richey Do you hate to get up and look at yourself each morning? Is your face very painful to touch? Do you find yourself trying to get out of being involved in social situations just to avoid being made fun of? From the age of fifteen, Mr. Gibson had severe chronic acne. He tried every remedy on the market and then some; all to no avail. It seemed as if there was no hope for his ever being acne free. He tried treatment after treatment for a decade. From one dermatologist to the next, no one had an effective treatment, let alone a cure for his severe acne ” his self esteem was in the dumps and he was even beginning to feel depressed.

Jules Feiffer, EXPLAINERS cartoonist, author: Mr. Media Audio Interview
2008-05-29 04:05:00 The word that comes to mind when I think about the comic strips of Jules Feiffer is this: soliloquy.My Microsoft Word dictionary - hey, it's convenient! - defines it as ?the act of speaking while alone, especially when used as a theatrical device that allows a character?s thoughts and ideas to be conveyed to the audience.?That sounds about right to me, because the best of Feiffer?s strips ? known, incidentally, as ?Feiffer? ?usually consisted of one character looking at the reader ? breaking the so-called fourth wall - and going on for six or eight panels. The results weren?t always funny, but they were always sure to be thought provoking.This month, Fantagraphics published Explainers, the first of four dense collections of Feiffer?s entire run of weeklies in The Village Voice. This volume of 500 strips is from 1956 through 1966; the strip ran through 1998.Oh, and he won a Pulitzer Prize for his comic strip, too.Jules Feiffer is one of comics? great characters himself. He famously ...

Troop Killer Amy Proctor Bans My Point Author!
2008-05-28 17:36:00 Being no different then Hamas and Al Jazzeria Amy Proctor once a voice for the welfare of American Soldiers she openly accepts that further troop deaths and long protracted is the best way to execute the WOT! Post after post on her blog she portrays innocent Jihadis as needing a heartfelt talking to by superior minded Americans.

How to Highlight Author Comments
2008-05-22 01:00:00 Highlighting author comments using a different background color, border or different style of text helps readers understand when you have personally posted a response.So far, "How to Highlight Author Comments" has been the most requested article in my Skribit widget, so in this post I'll explain how you can change comments which you have posted yourself to distinguish these from other comments on your posts. First things first!The main obstacle I've faced in writing up this article so far is that different Blogger templates code the comments section differently.While the easiest method for me to write would have been to say "Find this code and replace it with this", such a method would only be usable by bloggers whose template matches the code.Instead, my explanation may be a little more complicated than usual, though I hope this explanation will ensure anyone using a Blogger template will understand how to implement the highlighted author comments hack!

AARP calls its author Ronni Bennett (in the cool photo montage above), “the dean of older bloggers,” . . . And we’re fortunate to have her insights today at Ecumen’s Changing Aging blog. For more than 25 years Ronni, who says “Age is a gift,” was a radio and television producer, working on such programs as 20/20 and the The Barbara Walters Specials on ABC and for shows on Lifetime TV, NBC, PBS and CBS. In 1996, as the Internet was in its infancy, Ronni was named the first managing editor at cbsnews.com. It was there that the seeds of Time Goes By began to grow. Today she’s changing aging in America from her home in Maine where she authors her groundbreaking blog. Thank you to Ronni for taking time with us. Why did you start blogging?

I had no plan to be a published writer or even to do any serious writing. Then I discovered World Ahead Publishing and their line of conservative children’s books. I realized I had a story inside me that could make a whopper of a conservative children’s book, on an issue so controversial that getting it published would be the longest of long shots. But here was a publishing house that I thought would have the courage and the vision to publish such a story. I wrote it in one...

2008-05-21 01:39:00 As the author of four books and hundreds of magazine and Web-based articles, I’ve always enjoyed the opportunity to write reviews about news, products, and opportunities outside my normal area of expertise. For example, I typically write about history, genealogy, books, music, and technology - - but with a wonderful service called PayPerPost blog network, I now have the chance to broaden my professional experience. In case all you authors out there haven’t heard about PayPerPost - it’s a service that pays bloggers to blog about certain topics, items, opportunities, or services. Payment ranges from a few bucks to more than 100 bucks - with payments depending on the popularity of your blog; for example, the higher payment posts go to blogs with high Google Page Rank. Since Page Rank usually reflects traffic, it makes a lot of sense for high ranking blogs to demand higher payment. Why would a blogger want to blog for PayPerPost? Unless you’re prolific, I’...

First was Bob Guccione, Jr., the magazine?s founder and namesake son of the publisher of Penthouse.And then there was Spin?s senior editor, Legs McNeil.Legs McNeil!?!What the hell kind of stupid name was that for a journalist? I mean, I grew up with kids named "Plinky," "Jiggs," and "Doine," but "Legs"?Well, let me tell you, that guy Legs McNeil could write. Some months, the only copy worth reading in Spin was under his byline.It wasn?t until years later that I learned that in the early 1970s, McNeil was a co-founder, with John Holmstrom and Ged Dunn, of Punk Magazine, which gave name to an entire musical generation.McNeil has since written two remarkable non-fiction books, Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk, and The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry He?s also involved in a new documentary series unspooling across VH1, Spike, and the Sundance Channel in Ma...

2008-05-09 01:07:00 Daniel Pink has made a career of being first on business themes over the last seven years, ever since publication of Free Agent Nation in May 2001. His theory then? That more of us will be working for ourselves in the future.Well, it?s now the future, so I?ll ask him whether that came true.He also wrote A Whole New Mind, about the the move from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age.But Dan?s newest book may be his greatest leap yet: a manga-style graphic novel titled The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You?ll Ever Need.
