So Ya Want to be a Writer ( Blogger)
2008-09-13 14:58:00 Writing Blogging is hard work, for those who take the task seriously. Writing done right can be energizing and rewarding . Anyone can throw up a post of words, copy a topic over and over again, to earn points or gain Google Juice. Maya Angelou said, "The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart." Freidrich Nietsche said, "Of all writings I love only that which is written with blood. Write with blood: and you will discover that blood is spirit." Anais Nin, "We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection". There are some very good writers here on Activerain. There are some.................. Can we say this about blogging, "The quality of your work, in the long run, is the deciding factor on how much your services are valued by the world." Orison Swett Marde John Jakes, one of my favorite authors, (North and South) said the following two things, "They m...
Big block of writer day
2008-09-08 07:46:00 So, yeah "hey". I'm still here. Can't think of a danged thing to write, so I'm going with the "just write something" theory. Something. Heh, I crack me up. So far, the school year is a never ending "to-do" list that doesn't get done because we're never here to do it. Busy Girl (who turned 14 last week, by the way) is playing volleyball in high school and has practice every day. Busy Boy is playing football with practice 3 times a week, and Busy D. has soccer practice twice a week now. Busy Girl's team is undefeated thus far, but we have quite a few more matches to go. The stark reality that she will have to play club/travel volleyball in order to continue her high school career has become apparent. (Hire me. Will write for astronomical volleyball fee.) As a 7th grader, Busy Boy won't see a lot of action in the football games this year, but he's actually got a good attitude about it. Busy D.'s soccer team moved up a division and they play on a larger fiel...

Sweetie Saturday #111 - She's Definitely Going To Be A Writer Edition
2008-06-14 07:02:00 Or an English teacher. Or poet. Something to do with words... Playing with and experimenting with words continues to be a major theme in Sweetie's life:Hubby put Sweetie to bed the other night and read to her a portion of her current bedtime book - A Little Princess. The last word he read that night happened to be "amiable".As told to me by Hubby, Sweetie thought this was hilarious!Amiable?! Like Mama's name? What does that mean?It means "friendly".Oh! Ha! I thought you were saying that Amy was a bull!(Well, technically - I am. My May 20th birthday just barely makes me a Taurus).------------------------------------Right at bedtime earlier this week, our computer screen caught my eye. It was doing something it had never done before and we're not sure how or why it was doing it then - it showed our photo of Sweetie's sonogram picture, then proceeded to slowly "back up", revealing hundreds of our digital photos, arranged in some sort of pattern. Before too long we saw that this coll...

Scott Miles, LITTLE CHICAGO actor, writer, producer: Mr. Media Audio Interv
2008-06-07 14:46:00 There?s a certain risk ? some might call it insanity ? to producing true indie films. They?re costly, especially relative to the return on investment, time, and aggravation.But still they get made.Scott Miles made his. It?s called Little Chicago, and it's about a young man who returns home after college hoping his dad will stake him the money to get into the bar and restaurant business. Of course, if his dad were to do that, this would be a short, not a full-length motion picture.Miles wrote, produced, and starred in Little Chicago.But if you haven?t seen Little Chicago, maybe you know him from some of his other film roles, including Remember the Titans, The Patriot, or October Sky. On television, he was in episodes of ?NCIS? and ?Star Trek Voyager.?I think you'll find what he has to say about producing indie films quite interesting.You can LISTEN to this interview by clicking the BlogTalkRadio.com audio player below!Open in your default playerDetach into a separate window© 2008 b...

Windows Live Writer CTP Released
2008-06-03 18:14:00 On the Windows Live Writer Blog today, they announced the availability of the Windows Live Writer CTP (Community technology preview). With this new build comes a lot of new features, which I will discuss in this blog post. So why is this a CTP and not just a normal beta? Well the main reason is that it features a new set of plugin APIs (version 1.1) and the whole Technical Preview is more intended for developers rather than consumers. Nonetheless, there are still some nice new additions for consumers.Changes:- Everything from Windows Live Writer 2008 plus: - New and improved category control (you can now search through your categories)- Image cropping (from the Advanced tab when you have an image selected)- Word Count - Tabbed view switching- Alignment commands in toolbar work on images (not just text) - Typographic replacement (characters like ©, TM, en-dash, em-dash), also works with “…” - Automatic linking to terms in your link glossary - User-interface updates in the menus and c...

TreeHugger Writer Buys SUV, Explains in Blog
2008-05-20 22:07:00 My good friend Twitter alerted me to this eco story. It involves a writer from TreeHugger and an SUV he bought. The writer is Mark OntKush and he humorously decides to have an interview with himself to explain his decision to acquire a cross-over SUV, the Honda CRV. He pretty much shares that he went with the Honda CRV over a hybrid SUV, or an EV such (as the Prius), because: he needed the bigger room, he has a family of three he needed the bigger cargo space, he buys alot of lumber he lives in-town (irrelevant, but Mark lives in Boston) he telecommutes to work the wife takes a bus to work he logs on average about 6,000 miles a year he didn’t want to spend $1,500 on repairs, on his old ailing vehicle he is a hyper miler The piece is an interesting read, as it is a personal choice and decision. To share it with the world, as Mark OntKush has done, is quite brave of him. As of this writing, the article at TreeHugger has garnered alot of attention, over 135 comments (both posi...
