Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. —Ephesians 5:25-27, KJV read more

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. ...

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. —Romans 8:15-1 read more
{ Day 112 }
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. —Ephesians 3:16-19 read more

Ketotifen is a relatively selective, non-competitive histamine antagonist (H1-receptor) and mast cell stabilizer. Ketotifen inhibits the release of mediators from cells involved in hypersensitivity reactions. Decreased chemotaxis and activation of eosinophils has also been demonstrated.
Ketotifen has been shown to have little systemic exposure following topical ocular administration. A study conducted with 15 healthy volunteers dosed bilaterally with ketotifen fumarate ophthalmic solution twice daily for 14 days demonstrated plasma concentrations generally below the quantitation limit of assay (< 20 pg/mL).
In human conjunctival allergen challenge studies, ZADITOR® (ketotifen fumarate) was significantly more effective than placebo in preventing ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. The action of ketotifen occurs rapidly with an effect seen within minutes after administration.

I lived in summer house apartments in 2010. It's very sad to hear that after FIVE YEARS they still have the same problems and nothing has changed. From these reviews it seems to have gotten worse. Hands down, this was the worst place I've ever lived! Inadequate parking, poorly maintained, thin walls, rude staff, selectively enforce rules, extra charges when you move out (...doesn't matter how well you clean it). Honestly the biggest problem is lack of parking space. Second is maintenance. All the inside common areas are gross. Third redo the insulation in the walls or something. Then again... A better solution is just to tear the whole damn thing down.

I moved in here last week. Its the biggest mistake of my life upto now.The place is a shit hole. From people smoking weed everywhere to badly manged apartments I can write hundreds of reason about why not to live here. This place is run by crooked management who has just one aim to get the money out of your pocket. If you are thinking of moving in here and reading these comments Save yourself from a future disaster and don't move in.

Wish I could give some negative starts ....I lived there 5 years ago when I was a student , along with some others .I moved out early with notice and even got confirmation from leasing office, but unfortunately I did not kept it for my records not knowing this could happen. Later after 2 years I found out 5K charge was applied under collection in my credit history. I tried calling couple of times for copy of my relieving letter and got no response.Collection agency they work with are very rude and uneducated. Friends beCareful before leasing here and even if you did make sure to have documents with you at-least for 3years so you could fight back.

It's a worst appt company ever. The employee of the leasing office is worst they behave very rough and they even increase rent every year. I recommend not to go there

Worst apartment complex my family and I have ever lived in. A bad experience because of a variety of issues, such as terrible maintenance, high rent and high fees, greedy over-valuation of the property's worth, high crime and nonexistent security, as well as the fact that they are slowly pricing out even families who make $100k/year. Summer House has made it too expensive to justify renting from them while also making it exceedingly difficult to move out due to rapid rent increases of as much as $200/month, huge penalties for breaking a lease early, etc. Avoid at all costs. Contact me personally for greater detail, if needed.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Friday was a busy day off the ice for the Arizona Coyotes, with New Jersey hedge fund owner Andrew Barroway agreeing to purchase 51 percent of the team to become the primary owner pending approval by the NHL's Board of Governors. But there was work to do on the ice as well after the Coyotes were embarrassed 6-2 Thursday by the Winnipeg Jets, allowing four goals in the first 14 minutes of a nightmarish first period.
Coyotes coach Dave Tippett won't make many cosmetic changes for their game Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings. Rob Klinkhammer will move to a line with Czechs Martin Hanzal and Martin Erat, while David Moss moves down to play with Lauri Korpikoski and Sam Gagner. But the work ethic and goaltending effort of Mike Smith, who struggled mightily against the Jets, needs some serious upgrades with the defending Stanley Cup champions in town.
"Everyone is obviously extremely disappointed with this start and it just goes back to us having to be ready for the next game," Arizona captain Shane Doan said. "It really doesn't matter if you lose 3-2 or 6-2 or whatever it is, it's the next game you have to win and that's where we're at. You just know you have the chance to answer those questions, and you got 81 more games to do it."

When I first left the classroom to become a staff developer in New York City, I had to learn quickly to adjust to new schools, and new groups of teachers. I worked hard to have open conversations with the teachers I worked with, where teachers could ask anything. "No such thing as a bad question!" But there was one phrase that I dreaded. Four words that left me with no idea how to respond.Add a Comment
As I mentioned yesterday, Henning Mankell has passed away, and now AFP reports that his publisher insists there will no more Wallander books (written by others in Mankell's name, as the James Bond books now are, or the new 'Stieg Larsson', etc. etc.).
"Nothing can be approved without my agreement" the publisher claims, but I suspect if the heirs really want to cash in -- and so often they do -- there won't be much that he can do about it. So I wouldn't be too sure that we've seen our last Wallander yet.

t the conclusion of the mid-September meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the Federal Reserve announced its decision to leave its target interest rate unchanged through the end of this month. Although some pundits had predicted that the Fed might use the occasion of August's decline in the unemployment rate (to 5.1 percent from 5.3 percent in July), to begin its long-awaited monetary policy tightening, those forecasts left out one crucial fact.

My muse is fickle and unreliable, which is really frustrating for me because I'm the type of person that is constantly busy. I knit while watching TV because being still is not in my body's repertoire. So when Miss Muse shuts down for a little bit, I tend to get frustrated with her, and she usually responds by dumping three to four great concepts into my lap at once, declares her job done, and disappears again.
She pulled this trick on me in 2013 when the barren waste land that had formerly housed my inspiration suddenly said, "Hey, you should write a Victorian Gothic novel set in an insane asylum about a girl who assists a criminal psychologist in catching killers. Also, she has to pretend to be lobotomized in order to escape her abusive father. That should be easy to deliver, ta-ta."
To which I said, "Hey, thanks muse. Nice. How do I go about doing that?" But she didn't answer because she'd already jetted off to wherever she goes when not spouting difficult-to-execute concepts at me. But I already knew the answer: research. I needed to know a lot of things in order to even come close to doing this the right way.
How did insane asylums operate in the 1890's? How was criminal psychology executed then? How often was it right? Was the science accurate enough that a well-trained person could conceivably have caught a killer based on what they knew about the criminal mind at the time? How were lobotomies performed?
OOPS—snag. Lobotomies weren't a medical practice in 1890. That's a pretty huge roadblock for me since the plot hinged on my main character being (supposedly) lobotomized. Shifting the timeframe to 1936, when the first lobotomy was performed in the US, would screw up my plot even more. So instead I needed a feasible situation where a doctor could be aware of the benefits of a lobotomy-like procedure, without…you know…actually calling it a lobotomy. This train of thought ended with me reading this book, and this one. Yes, I was really popular on public transit.
I also read this book, and this book, this one (it has pictures—ouch), and to get the other side of that story, this one. And finally a slightly more relaxing one so that I was familiar with my setting. Then just to be thorough, I took a trip to the asylum where the book is set because I'm a big fan of knowing what the hell I'm talking about.
A year after Miss Disappearing Muse dropped the concept on me, I figured I knew enough to actually start writing the book. Except, no. This was the first time I'd ever attempted to write a historical, and because I despise anachronisms I had to get things as correct as I possibly could. From what kind of lighting was in the room my character waked into (Fire? Gas? Electrical?) to what she was wearing, to the question of whether she was working side by side with "policemen," "cops," or "constables," I found myself in the position of not being able to finish most sentences without a quick fact check.
It was painful, torturous writing – and not only because of what I put the characters through. To make thing worse, I'd spent so much time researching that I'd painted myself into a pretty serious corner in terms of deadlines. I won't tell you how quickly I wrote MADNESS because you'll question my sanity, but I will tell you I gained almost fifteen pounds doing it because I basically shut myself in my room and wrote while slamming cheeseburgers. At one point I would've accepted a catheter just to get the job done more effectively.
A Madness So Discreet released yesterday, and I'm pretty proud of it. It marks a genre departure from my earlier works—Not a Drop to Drink and In a Handful of Dust are post-apoc survival—but not a departure from what I do best. Which apparently is write rather stomach-churning scenarios while eating.
Told you I'm a multi-tasker.
MINDY MCGINNIS is a YA author who has worked in a high school library for thirteen years. Her debut, Not a Drop to Drink, a post-apocalyptic survival story set in a world with very little freshwater, has been optioned for film my Stephanie Meyer's Fickle Fish Films. The companion novel, In a Handful of Dust was released in 2014. Look for her Gothic historical thriller, A Madness So Discreet on October 6 from Katherine Tegen Books.Add a Comment

The Nobel Prize in Literature will be announced tomorrow, at 13:00 local time (Stockholm); you'll be able to watch the announcement live at the Nobel site.
The Swedish Academy decides who gets the prize, and its (new) permanent secretary, Sara Danius, will make the announcement. (Oddly enough, they've just announced that Danius has received a literary prize -- the Gerard Bonniers essäpris; the SEK 100,000 isn't exactly Nobel-money, but it ain't bad. Former permanent secretary Horace Engdahl also won this, in 2010, a year after he had stepped down as permanent secretary.)
Most of the media coverage takes the betting-lists as starting (and ending) point -- so, for example, we have Camille Bas-Wolhert's AFP report (here at Yahoo), The tough task of predicting a Nobel literature laureate, noting that: "The real experts are usually reluctant to make a prediction".
In one of the more interesting variations on that, Christian Lorentzen admits to actually betting on the Nobel (and other literary prizes) -- and even finds he's: "still in the black" thanks to his Alice Munro punt -- in explaining My Book-Prize Betting Addiction: A User's Guide to Making Money Off Alice Munro. He has a system -- "I tend to make three categories of bet: (1) a likely winner; (2) a writer I really admire who's also a patriotic favorite; (3) a writer I've reviewed negatively" -- which sounds as good as any. (He also thinks Lyudmila Ulitskaya is a "more likely Russophone winner" than current betting-favorite Svetlana Alexievich.)
In Svenska Dagbladet they offer a list of 12 heta kandidater för litteraturpriset -- most of whom are among the betting favorites, while Folkbladet gets a few wider-ranging suggestions (though Alexievich is also the most often mentioned name).
Blogger-speculation includes:
- 6 Reasons Why Ngugi Wa Thiong'o Will Win the 2015 Nobel Prize for Literature at Book Fox
- Nobel Prize 2015: My picks. at shigekuni.
- From Out of Nowhere: The Nobel Prize in Literature 2015 at Bait for Bookworms
- Nobel Prize in Literature 2015 at Caponomics
- Svetlana Alexievich: is the betting favorite -- down to 3/1 at Ladbrokes as I write this.
With pretty much only her Voices from Chernobyl to go on, English-speaking readers might find it hard to judge her (or see what the fuss is about), but it's worth remembering that she is big in Sweden -- a pile of her books have been published there in recent years -- and that her distinctive literary approach (documentary, basically) is a (perhaps welcome ?) change from the usually honored forms.
(The prize almost never has gone to a non-fiction author, but the case for her is pretty good.)
Throw in the politics -- she's from Belarus, and her critical stance is of the sort that seems to appeal to the Academy -- and the fact that she's a woman (people apparently do keep count, and Danius has mentioned the sex-imbalance among previous winners) and you have a lot of good reasons why they might give it to her.
On the other hand, her (relative) overexposure in Sweden the past year or two might suggest it's just her high visibility that's making her all the rage among the bettors.
- Jon Fosse: was much-discussed last year already, and as an immensely popular playwright (yeah, that doesn't really register in the US/UK, but elsewhere he is, really) as well as novelist is a plausible candidate too.
On the other hand, the fact that he's Scandinavian probably doesn't help -- they're probably pretty cautious about giving it to the local authors.
I could see them giving it to him -- but I'd be disappointed if he were selected over fellow Norwegian Dag Solstad.
- Murakami Haruki: has been mentioned as a favorite for years now, but he probably also elicits the most opposition too, considered too lightweight for the Nobel.
I think his output is varied and interesting enough to merit consideration, and I wouldn't be shocked if he won, but the Swedish Academy may well be holding out for a slightly weightier Japanese author to give the prize to (though you have to wonder who might be on the horizon -- perhaps A True Novel-author Mizumura Minae, whose attitude towards Japanese literature (which one might sum up as anti-Murakami; see The Fall of Language in the Age of English) might be exactly the sort of thing the Academy is looking for).
- Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o: well, I've been saying for years Ngũgĩ would/should get the prize, and can still think of no good reason why he shouldn't.
You can argue politics regarding some of his work, but I can't imagine that's really much of an issue, and given what he's written, as well as everything else (he's from Africa, writes in Gikuyu, has written significant non-fiction) I'm just surprised they haven't gotten around to giving him the prize yet.
Not that that means they'll get around to it this year, but he still seems the obvious choice.
- Philip Roth: I would be terribly disappointed if they gave it to someone who has stopped writing, as Roth claims he has.
Not that he isn't deserving, but they had their chances to reward him and didn't, and I hope that ship has sailed.
- Amos Oz, Adonis, and Peter Handke: might all be worthy winners -- some more than others -- but all already have piles of awards (indeed have been piling them on in the past few years) and at the same time can't get away from all sorts of controversies, including most recently the fuss about it being announced Adonis was to receive the Erich-Maria-Remarque-Peace Prize.
While these choices might be defensible, you really have to wonder whether or not the Swedish Academy wants quite as much fuss as selecting one of them would kick up.
- Ismail Kadare: has also been in the running seemingly forever, and also would be a bit controversial; still, he seems more likely than any from the Oz/Adonis/Handke group.
- John Banville: has also received a ton of prizes recently, but I have my doubts that the Swedish Academy wants to honor a very European author who also dabbles in mysteries (as Banville does as Benjamin Black).
- Krasznahorkai László: I'm warming to the idea of a Krasznahorkai win, but can't imagine this is his year -- the Swedish Academy surely doesn't want to follow the Man Booker International Prize so closely.
(This won't be a problem in future years, since they're changing that from an author- to a book-prize.)
- Joyce Carol Oates, Don DeLillo, Cormac McCarthy, Lydia Davis, Thomas Pynchon, and Marilynne Robinson: are the more or less usual American names tossed in the mix.
Yes, they haven't given it to someone from the US in quite a while -- but I can't really see any of them getting it, for a variety of reasons (including simply too much variety (Oates) or relatively too little (Robinson).
If anyone has a chance I suppose it might be DeLillo, but I can't really see it
- Maryse Condé and César Aira: are new names on the betting lists -- something always worth a closer look. Both were also in the Man Booker International Prize running ... which is probably also one of the reasons their names have surfaced, and I don't rate either one's chances very highly.
If it were up to me I'd have the choice down to one between Ngũgĩ, Dowlatabadi, and the similarly deserving Juan Goytisolo -- but as to what the Swedish Academy might have up their sleeve, I really don't know .....
Well, there are a few more hours left for speculation ..... Read the rest of this post Add a Comment

I was so happy to be able to talk with Lori Deschene. As the founder of Tiny Buddha, she's helped more than 1,200 people (including me!) share their stories and lessons with more than 60 million readers (as of June, 2015). She's the author of Tiny Buddha: Simple Wisdom for Life's Hard Questions, Tiny Buddha's Guide to Loving Yourself, and her newest release: Tiny Buddha's 365 Tiny Love Challenges.
Lori, I know you've written for girls' magazines, and many of The Renegade Writer's readers want to write for magazines themselves. How did you get into that?
I found my first magazine writing opportunity on Craigslist in the gigs section—something that doesn't happen all that often! I didn't actually have much professional writing experience at that time, but I did have the right experience.
The magazine was a new middle grade publication, for girls aged eight to twelve, and they were looking for witty, upbeat articles on friendship, self-esteem, and surviving embarrassing moments.
Prior to finding this opportunity, I'd worked in mobile marketing, taking promotional campaigns from city to city. My last tour was a walk across the country to promote a variety of health and fitness-related products. As the tour's dog walker, I wrote a "dog blog" that chronicled my canine companion's adventure.
These were all light, funny posts that fit the exact tone the magazine was looking for. They loved my writing samples and hired me to write an article for the first issue, which led to more than a dozen more.
Eventually, I submitted some of those articles to a bigger, more established middle-grade magazine and went on to contribute over fifty articles and quizzes.
I also wrote for a real estate magazine briefly that, once again, I found on Craigslist. It was also a new magazine, and I don't actually know much about real estate. But I was looking to build a body of work, and I was open to any opportunities I could find!
In retrospect, I realize I could have been more proactive and targeted. I could have identified more magazines that I wanted to write for instead of taking any writing gig I could find on Craigslist (including a job writing travel guides for $6/hour).
But I think there's something to be said for being hungry, and being willing to take whatever you can get to hone your craft and build your resume.
Then you started the Tiny Buddha site. What inspired you to do that?
Prior to starting the site, I'd spent more than a decade struggling with depression, bulimia, shame, and self-loathing. For years I felt alone with my challenges—like no one knew me, and no one would love me if they did.
After making tremendous progress with my personal struggles, I wanted to create a place where people could share what they've been through and what they've learned, to help themselves and others.
My hope was that this would help readers feel less alone with their challenges and more empowered to overcome them. And though I didn't realize this at the time, I eventually recognized that starting Tiny Buddha was a big part of my own healing journey.
There's something cathartic about leveraging your pain for something useful and valuable—and there's little more valuable than making a positive difference in someone else's life.
How has the Tiny Buddha blog helped your career? Do you earn money from the blog through ads, selling books…?
I earn money from a combination of:
- Banner ads
- Book/eBook sales
- eCourse sales
- Affiliate marketing
I'm also planning to launch some products soon, including journals, gratitude journals, and calendars.
I launched my first eBook roughly a year after the site launched, and it sold regularly, but I was still working another full-time online writing job. I also dabbled with blog coaching and blog review reports—something I didn't really love and only did briefly.
It really wasn't until the three-year mark that I felt comfortable depending solely on Tiny Buddha for my livelihood. In retrospect, I'm glad I never felt pressure to earn a specific amount from the site. If I had felt that pressure, I may have said yes to opportunities that didn't feel right for me.
There are a lot of ways to make money online, or to leverage your online presence to make money. Not all are good for each of us individually — or for our brands.
I also see you have a forum, a widget that lets people post quotes from the site on their websites, and much more. You accept guest posts, do blog tours… that all sounds like a lot of work! How difficult is it really to start and run a successful blog? I think so many writers believe they can just start a WordPress site and start posting their thoughts, and the readers (and money) will come flying in.
It is a lot of work! And I've been feeling that a lot more lately, as I don't have an assistant or any employees. That being said, it wasn't always a lot of work.
When I first got started, I devoted just a few hours each day to running the site. At the time, it was just a quote and blog feed, and I wrote very short posts (some of which, I now realize, weren't all that compelling).
If I'd thought to myself back then, "I have to build a site with forums, daily guest contributors, a fun & inspiring section, multiple books, a widget, an eCourse…" I likely would have felt too overwhelmed to start. But I've added layers to the site over time.
I think the most important thing is that you show up each day and do something. You remain consistent and keep learning.
This guarantees that you'll keep growing, slowly, bit by bit, over time.
Writers are always asking me, "I want to start a blog, but I don't know what to write about." I think you're living proof that you don't decide to start a blog and then cast about for a topic…you have something burning in you that you want to share so much that it can sustain thousands of posts and years of work. Do you agree?
Yes, absolutely! This comes back to what I wrote before, about having a mission. You have to have a compelling "why" behind your blog—some reason you have to explore this topic. Otherwise, you likely won't have a reason to stick with it if and when progress seems slow. And you're absolutely right—you likely won't be able to write for years on the topic.
Every now and then, someone submits a post to Tiny Buddha starting with "I wasn't sure what to write about this week…" Those are usually the least compelling posts because it's clear the writer was looking for something to say, as opposed to having something to say.
If you don't have something you have to say, readers won't feel compelled to listen.
What are your top three tips for writers on how to build a successful blog?
1. Consistently publish value-packed, personally relatable posts.
I believe you need all three to build and maintain an audience—you need to deliver with consistency, solve problems readers are facing, and reveal your own humanity in doing so.
2. Foster a sense of community.
We all want to be part of something larger than ourselves, and we want to be where other people are congregating and connecting.
The first step in building a community is to have a compelling reason for its existence. People can "hang out" on any site—why yours specifically? What's the movement they're joining?
Is it a group of people committed to changing the world through meaningful work? Is it a group committed to sharing themselves vulnerably and learning from each other? When you have a strong mission for your site, community engagement becomes more than comments on isolated posts. It becomes about people supporting each other in working toward a common goal.
Of course, it doesn't hurt to end posts with questions. And if you can involve the community in a post in any way, that always helps.
Formerly, I asked questions on Facebook (such as "How do you help people who won't help themselves?") and then incorporated the responses into posts. I've also asked readers to submit pictures and videos for different purposes. An involved community is an engaged community!
3. Focus on building relationships.
Behind the most popular blogs you'll find people who weren't afraid to reach out to more established bloggers to learn from them, and to other new bloggers to work with them.
This might mean asking to guest post on a larger site to introduce new readers to your blog. It might mean working on a product with another blogger to launch to both of your communities simultaneously. It might mean building a blog support network with lots of bloggers in the same niche.
The more people you connect with, the greater the odds your blog will grow. And the more people you help, the more people will want to help you.
And you're the author of three traditionally published books too! How did you get into writing books? Did you find an agent, or were you approached by one? Did you have to write a proposal?
I first started working on a proposal a year after I launched the site, and I sent that to an agent who'd reached out to me. He wasn't thrilled with my idea, but he gave me some feedback that helped me come up with a new one. Shortly after, a small publisher contacted me after seeing me speak at a conference.
I published two books with them, without an agent. And then for my most recent book, Tiny Buddha's 365 Tiny Love Challenges, I got an agent and attracted a larger publisher.
The most helpful advice I got when writing my first proposal was to ask myself, "Why would readers buy this book from me specifically?" My first idea was something anyone could have written, and I didn't have anything in my background that would have positioned me as an authority on this topic.
Each of my three books makes sense from me specifically, because they're all extensions of Tiny Buddha, including both my own personal experience and insights from the community.
So you've written for magazines, and you run a blog AND write books. Do you find there's some value for writers in diversifying? If so, what is it?
I've enjoyed the variety because I find it more stimulating—and challenging. Whereas I could write a blog post in a couple hours, a book is clearly a long-term project. And it's something that's far more involved, especially when you're working with dozens of contributors, like I do.
There's also a certain level of satisfaction that comes from stretching yourself and trying to do something new. Especially if you're writing about the same topic every day or every other day, it can help tremendously to mix things up.
What are your top two tips for writers who would like to write traditionally published books?
Aside from answering the question "Why me for this book?":
Get an agent with success in your niche.
While you could send your proposal to smaller publishers without representation, an agent knows what makes a strong proposal, and which publishers would be best for your book. As I mentioned before, I've gotten a book deal with and without one, and the latter was a far superior experience, on every level, and totally worth the money.
Create a solid marketing plan for your proposal.
Publishers are looking to work with authors who can sell books. If you have an established platform, great! If not, do you know any other high-profile bloggers who will help promote your book? Are you willing to invest your money in a book trailer, a blog tour, or a publicist? Do you have any ideas for creative social media campaigns?
Since the Tiny Buddha blog is all about topics like happiness, motivation, inspiration, and letting go…I'd like to talk about two emotions writers feel a lot — fear and stress. Do you have any advice for writers on getting over their fears of rejection, failure, and even success so they can start pitching and writing?
As someone who's pursued both theater and writing—two incredibly competitive industries—I know all about rejection! Three things that have helped me are:
Not taking rejection personally.
It can be tough to do this when you put your heart into your writing. But agents and publishers aren't rejecting you. They're rejecting the idea—and at that specific time.
There are plenty of times when contributors submit posts to Tiny Buddha and they're very similar to posts I've recently accepted. That actually means they're strong posts, but my job as a site editor is to offer variety and look for varied themes and perspectives.
I always encourage writers to submit again. Not all editors do this, but submit again anyways.
Think of it as a numbers game.
When I worked as a telemarketer, I knew that every twenty calls would likely lead to one sale. Knowing this made it easier to face those nineteen rejections because I knew I was getting closer to closing a deal.
It's not quite the same with writing, but it can help tremendously to think of every "no" as one step closer to a "yes." Challenge the belief that "no" is proof you're not good enough. If you need a reason to believe you can still succeed, despite rejection, check out this article or this one or this one.
Realize you have far more options now than writers once did.
If you have something to say, you can find a way to put it out there. You can start a blog. You can write an eBook. You can self-publish a print book. And if you do self-publish a print book, you could then leverage that to get a deal with a traditional publisher. (I know several authors who've done this!)
We're fortunate to have so many options available us writers today. Knowing this somehow takes the sting out of rejection because you know that no isolated rejection can crush your dream, or prevent you from honing your craft and getting your work out there.
I absolutely hate sending rejection emails because I'm both sensitive and empathetic, and I never want anyone to think I don't admire and respect both them and their work. If I've rejected posts from the same writer a few times, I might offer extra feedback and end the email with "I hope I'm not discouraging you!"
Not too long ago, a writer responded, "No worries—you're not! I have a whole list of sites I submit to, so I'll just submit this to one of them."
It's something I'll remember next time I'm feeling rejected. There are other sites. There are other magazines. There are lots of other ways to get my work out there.
And stress…we writers feel that a lot! We're running our butts off pitching, interviewing, networking, writing. We have tons of deadlines, client demands, and other stressors. How can writers become more calm and centered so they can work more productively?
The best advice I can offer any writer is to get out of your head. There were many times in the past when I sat at my computer for ten+ hours, when on a deadline, with only short breaks to eat or use the restroom. This was a surefire path to stress and burnout!
I used to think taking a break for a walk or a quick meditation was wasting time, but I've since learned than fifteen to thirty rejuvenating minutes are actually huge time savers. I come back to my work refreshed, recharged—and in some cases, particularly if I've been in nature, inspired.
Then I have much calmer, and much more positive energy, to bring to my work.
Some ways to clear your head:
- Meditation/listening to guided meditations (you can find a ton of free ones on YouTube) [Note from Linda: Or the Positive Thinking for Writers guided meditation, which is Pay What It's Worth in the Renegade Writer Store?]
- Yoga or Tai Chi
- Deep breathing
- Taking a walk outside
- Doing something childlike, like hopping on a swing
- Dancing to your favorite music and releasing pent up energy
Tell us about your latest book, Tiny Buddha's 365 Tiny Love Challenges. What inspired you to write it, and where can readers buy the book?
As someone who's felt alone at various points in my life, I understand the value of strong relationships. I also know we're living in an increasingly disconnected world, despite being more connected than ever.
We all need to feel seen, valued, appreciated, and loved. We're social creatures, and we need to feel like we belong, like people get us and will be there for us. We also need to know people trust us and depend on us to be there for them.
Of course, these things are far more easily said than done. Tiny Buddha's 365 Tiny Love Challenges can help.
The book offers a year's worth of simple daily challenges to help people give more love in their relationships, treat themselves more lovingly, and put more love into the world.
Some of the challenges are active, some are reflective, some involve having conversations with other people, and some are writing exercises.
Each month has a different theme, including:
- Kindness and Thoughtfulness
- Compassion and Understanding
- Authenticity and Vulnerability
- Releasing Anger and Forgiving
- Attention and Listening
- Honesty and Trust
- Kindness and Thoughtfulness
- Acceptance and Non-Judgment
- Releasing Comparisons and Competition
- Support and Encouragement
- Admiration and Appreciation
- Giving and Receiving
And every week starts with a relevant story or two from members of the Tiny Buddha community, illustrating the power of applying these principles in daily life.
The challenges are all little things, and some might seem simple, but the simplest things are often the hardest to do consistently—like putting your phone down and giving someone your full attention, or looking a stranger in the eye and smiling.
Relationships have never been my strong suit, but I feel much closer to people, and much better equipped to give them the love they deserve, since incorporating these tiny actions into my daily life.

To me it's like releasing my children to school for the first time. It's heart wrenching watching our children go off on their own for the first time. Our writing is much like our "babies" being released into the world. Self doubt often creeps in, but don't let it wash away your courage.

Gather round, y'all!
It's time for everyone's favorite pitching pastime!
What would Wednesday be without Would You Read It? Just a plain old middle day of the week. Boring. Lackluster. Dull! So sad :(
But not for us! We've got a fabulous new pitch AND Something Chocolate AND each other's company and the camaraderie of the writing community to enjoy! (Because what would Would You Read It be without chocolate? And what would WE be without each other?! Luckily, we'll never have to know! :) )
Today our Something Chocolate shall be Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies, because I feel strongly that one should never have to decide between brownies and chocolate chip cookies! That would be like Sophie's Choice :)
|Recipe at Recipe Girl
Today's pitch comes to us from Kirk, whom you will remember from May with his MG pitch for When Your Best Friend Wants To Be Your Girlfriend And Other Horror Stories. Kirk is the Ringmaster of Kraft Three-Ring Circus which includes his beautiful wife, Patty, four kids aged 6-12 and a silly German Shepherd, Blitz. In all his spare time, not spent managing this circus or working his day job, he writes YA & MG fantasy, picture books and parenting nonfiction. The pitch before you is his first attempt at humorous MG.
You can find him online at:
Twitter - @KAKraft
LinkedIn – www.linkedin.com/in/kirkkraft
Working Title: My Next Door Neighbor Is A Dragon Princess
Age/Genre: MG
The Pitch: I didn't care much for Maddie Buckner. At two, she bit my ear. At four she pushed me off a slide. At 8, she broke my favorite model airplane that took five months to build. At 10, she kissed me – on the lips! – under the Big Toy in the playground and told me she loved me. At 11, she spit in my face and said she hated me. Then she asked Parker Williams to the sock hop. Parker Williams! Oh, how I despised her. But then she had to go and save my life. That's when I discovered her secret.
So what do you think? Would You Read It? YES, MAYBE or NO?
Kirk is looking forward to your thoughts on his pitch! I am looking forward to getting some work done. I know that sounds insane, but I actually am. I'm feeling behind which makes me anxious, so I want to put things to rights. Therefore, one more Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie for strength and courage and then it's nose to the grindstone for me! Unless something diverting comes along... :)
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!!! :)

Nonfiction is the truth, facts, and nothing but the facts. Right? So, is there ever room for conjecture if it is based on those very facts? This question inevitably comes up during a writing workshop, and it is hard to explain, but yes, you can make certain assumptions if the facts support it.

Al Ram Hotel di Bologna sarà allestita quest'anno la mostra dedicata ai due fumettisti, ulteriore premio del concorso durante i giorni di BilBOlbul.
Come vede Berlino una fumettista libanese? E cosa salta agli occhi di un fumettista tedesco a Lisbona?
I Goethe-Institut dell'Europa Sudovest hanno mandato in viaggio fumettisti provenienti da Belgio, Francia, Italia, Libano, Marocco, Portogallo, Spagna e Germania. In mostra i tanti punti di vista su città cultura e società e i diversi modi di vivere una metropoli. I lavori sono raccolti anche nel blog del progetto.
L'inaugurazione si terrà mercoledì 7 ottobre alle ore 18 alla presenza di molti degli artisti coinvolti.
L'illustrazione vincitrice sarà usata per creare la nuova grafica per il visual 2015 di NoiNo.org, la campagna contro la violenza sulle donne.
Dedicato da sempre al fumetto di realtà, quest'anno al centro del festival c'è la rappresentazione della crisi in tutte le sfaccettature: da quella economica a quella politica, da quella ambientale a quella personale.
Il fumetto di questa settimana è: Megahex di Simon Hanselman (Coconino Press).
Scoprite i fumetti consigliati sulla pagina Facebook

Space Pioneer Buzz Aldrin Shares His Vision For Exploring Mars In Welcome to Mars
Could Mars be our future home? Buzz Aldrin thinks so, and he should know! Buzz is one of the first people to walk on the moon, and was a member of the historic Apollo 11 crew. A renowned rocket scientist, he developed a futuristic space transportation system to reach Mars. He chairs his own educational organization, ShareSpace Foundation. And he also has a Toy Story character named after him! (Hint: "To infinity — and beyond!")
Buzz Aldrin lives, eats, and breathes all things Mars. Buzz has a vision for not only traveling to Mars, but inhabiting it as well. In Welcome to Mars: Making a Home on the Red Planet, Buzz describes what it will take to build a permanent home on this far away planet.
Welcome to Mars reveals the ultimate in space transportation — the Aldrin Cycler Spacecraft – and what the space traveler will encounter upon arrival, including a detailed illustration of the Mars Lander Sequence and an ingenious method for removing the rusty dust stuck to the space suits. The reader is taken on a tour of the Spaceport, learns how dirt bikes and zip lines will be natural forms of red planet entertainment, and discovers how greenhouses will play a vital role in the colonization of Mars. Finally, after months of exploring and living in the rugged Spaceport, it's moving day – Buzz ups the "wow" factor with high tech and forward-thinking living, eating and recreational quarters aptly named the Founders Dome.
What do you think? Will you sign up to go live on Mars? Tell us in the Comments.

|Outsider Artist, oil by James Gurney
But he didn't begin life that way. The earlier version of the oil painting was commissioned for a paperback cover about intergalactic war. It had a tighter cropping on his face, with a row of warriors painted in front of him.
I didn't really like the montage or the tight cropping or the warrior theme. I wanted to explore the little guy's character more. I figured that with those amazing eyes he would see the world differently from the rest of us. Maybe he could be an artist, the ultimate outsider artist.
Luckily I painted him on a white canvas panel with quite a bit of extra margin. So I sanded out the figures and the edge where I had taped off the rectangle.
To understand that froggy hand better, I sculpted a reference maquette out of Sculpey polymer clay over a framework of aluminum armature wire. I also sculpted the half-figure of the creature (below).
"The Art of James Gurney is an exhibition of about 25 original paintings on the UARTS campus in Philadelphia, through November 16.
The finished painting was published on the cover of Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn't Exist. The original paperback was called The Fleet: Sworn Allies by David Drake.

It was strikingly appropriate that Sir Geoffrey Hill should have focused his final lecture as Oxford Professor of Poetry on a quotation from Charles Williams. Not only was the lecture, in May 2015, delivered almost exactly seventy years after Williams's death; but Williams himself had once hoped to become Professor of Poetry.

In the Financial Times Tolu Ogunlesi writes about A new chapter in Nigeria's literature, describing a literary scene both vibrant and chaotic, where even success is problematic -- as well as relative ("publishers consider a book that shifts 5,000 copies to be a bestseller") -- as:
Commercial success for writers and publishers can be a curse -- attracting the attention of pirates, who are estimated to control 90 per cent of the book, music and film publishing industries in Nigeria.Check out also the list of 'Bright stars' at the end of the piece -- a relief not just to find the usual well-known names.

Ever stare out your window and wish you had a skate park in your backyard? Hope to travel the globe one day? Do you think all this is too good to be true? Well, it's not...This is the Life of Ryan. Ryan Sheckler's tale is a coming-of-age story set against an almost superhero-like existence. At just 17, Ryan, a skateboarding phenom who got on his first board at just 18 months old, already has everything a boy could ever dream of having. He's been on the cover of ESPN The Magazine, has traveled the world and won numerous competitions, including being the youngest athlete ever to win an X-Games Gold Medal, and, yes, he even has his very own skate park in his backyard! But deep down, Ryan's really just like any other teenage boy - he's just looking for the right girl and wants to spend time with his buddies. For Ryan Sheckler, finding a way to balance his many roles – pro skater, son, brother, friend, and even boyfriend – will be no easy task. Welcome to the Life of Ryan.

What Financing Data Reveal about Dealer Leverage
|March 2005 Volume 11, Number 3
|JEL classification: G1, G2, E4
Authors: Tobias Adrian and Michael J. Fleming
The Federal Reserve collects data on the financing activities of the primary government securities dealers. Some market analysts argue that the data show a considerable rise in dealer leverage in recent years. However, a close reading of the data suggests that dealer borrowing involving fixed-income securities has grown only modestly. Moreover, the increase that has occurred is not clearly associated with greater risk taking.

New York—Even though J. Crew has yet to open its first international location, the specialty retailer is making sure potential customers around the world know exactly what it is and what its shoppers are like.
The company–which recently announced a partnership with Lane Crawford to sell merchandise in China–also sells to more than 100 countries through its website. Now the American retail brand is unveiling an online experience to further engage with potential international customers.
Enlisting award-winning fashion photographers and bloggers, Garance Dore and Scott Schuman, to travel the globe—from Madrid to Hong Kong, Berlin to Tokyo and Milan to London—J. Crew asked them to capture its "quality and design through 10 international tastemakers and how they wear J.Crew making each item distinctly their own." The web feature, "Hello, World!" is photographed, filmed and narrated by Schuman and Dore.
Web Feature Aimed at International Markets
"Scott and Garance have had an incredible impact on style and fashion inspiring people everywhere," said Jenna Lyons, president, creative director at J. Crew. "We couldn't think of better storytellers to capture the way the world is wearing J.Crew."
The first of the two-part feature launched at www.jcrew.com/HelloWorld on June 15 and features "tastemakers:" Hilary Tsui, style blogger and owner of the well-known Hong Kong boutique, Liger; TK Mak, founder of Hong Kong-based trendsetting pop culture magazine, Milk; photographer and fashion blogger, Berta Bernad of Madrid; Berlin's Sven Schumann, founder of online interview magazine, The Talks; and Popeye Magazine's editor-in-chief, Takahiro Kinoshita of Tokyo.
Beginning in July, the second installment will unveil the photo diaries and video portraits of 5 additional stylish influencers from Paris, Milan, London and Sydney.
"Hello, World!" also includes an invitation for consumers outside of North America to become J.Crew Insiders. Insiders will receive various VIP member benefits including complimentary expedited shipping through the end of the year, priority access to J.Crew's team of international personal shoppers as well as duty free shopping through August 31.

does anyone here play? i just made a fresh character, my name in rs3 and ogrs is ButtMagic 69 (with the space)
^ Pretty much the same.
I played it again just two weeks ago and got a feeling of epic nostalgia from reliving the experience that defined the golden years of my childhood, and sadness when I realized not a single one of the friends I played with 8 years ago still played. It's a ghost town of a game compared to what it once was for a variety of reasons (also, there are still around 40k people playing right now, which is pretty substantial -- this is just comparing the game to when it had a bare minimum of 100k consecutive players, around 2007).
But but.
I'd be very willing to play again if more people from this community (or others I'm part of) got into it. It just feels so pointless to play without friends, but with friends, it's a legitimately fun experience that I've historically wasted three years of my life on.
ya i got membership i plan on sticking around 4 a while if u wanna join me in like a week my skills are uber low but i can get them up quick. also im willing to play rs3 for folks who wanna play but not pay.
At the moment, I'm absolutely broke (the 3DS is an expensive toy), so it'd be RS3 for me. But yeah, I'd be willing to play a bit. My name in-game is Boriol.
Never did play runescape when it was all everyone talked about.
Huh I guess I'd be willing to give it a go.
I only stopped playing because I slaved away for a whole week for days on end mining thousands of coal for this guy that was paying me. I got the job done, bought myself another set of full rune armor and a rune battle-axe I've been wanting for a -very- long time. Felt good about myself, and was confident in my skills at around level 60 something, or maybe I was level 80 I think, either way I went to the wilderness and got hunted down by this level 100-something premium guy, he wrecked me eventually once I ran out of stamina. Lost everything then and there, and that's when I said '...... fuck this game', stopped playing it, gave my account away, never looked back since that day.
I would've continued playing if I remembered the password to my secondary account that I used for making quick cash cause I had a high fishing and cooking stat.
As for other experiences, I shared a stolen account with some guy I had befriended somehow. It was a premium account, and looking back at it, that was horrible, but I don't think we ever bought anything with it, lol. Eventually the guy that was sharing the account with just took it for himself. Then I ran with this rag-tag group of who I thought were homies since we used to wreck shit in the wilderness together all the time until one of them accused me of hacking their account to which I found myself talking face-to-face with a moderator... which I cussed out and ignored because I thought it was another fake mod.
Turns out it wasn't, and my account got banned for a week or so, lol. Good times.
I made a point early on to only play with people I'd met somewhere other than in-game, because I apparently had a hard time trusting Runescape players when I was 10.
If you played again with some of the MT crowd, I'd at least think that would turn out better. Then again, you've got Dark Souls, which you can play without the possibility of some 12-year-old 1337 h4x0r whose uncle works at Runescape trying to get you banned for not giving him free stuff/killing him too many times/etc.
(I also just downloaded Dark Souls and am currently installing mods to make it playable on PC since I don't have a good controller.)
Man, Runescape during its revolution days was just at its all-time worst, and best. It was like anarchy simulated or something. Nobody could be trusted, but you'd need to work together with -someone- eventually, just to stay alive long enough to be able to hold your own. I remember following more powerful guys through the demon caverns or whatever they were, thinking I could trust them, and they'd lead you into one of the most powerful enemies in the area, agro it, and run off, leaving you there.
You grew up fast back then...
Also prepare to waste hours and hours and HOURS of time in Dark Souls. Like literally waste, until you get better, lol.
