Media release –
247 special Australians needed to help count remote Australia15 February 2016 | CO/84
Have you ever wanted to explore the Australian outback while getting paid to do it? This might be the break you have been looking for.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is looking for 247 people to fulfil its most unique roles in the 2016 Census workforce.
Up to 104 Remote Area Mobile Team (RAMT) Leaders and 143 Remote Area Mobile Team Members will travel Australia's most remote regions, and will recruit, train and manage up to four locally-based field staff to make sure everyone completes a Census form correctly in their area.
"RAMT Members will make sure the Census captures everyone in a number of remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Western Australia, Queensland, Northern Territory and South Australia," said Head of the Census 2016 Census Program, Duncan Young.
"They will also help to collect information from some other dwellings in remote areas, such as pastoral properties, mining camps, road-houses, and national parks."
2011 Census RAMT Leader, Eddie Chisholm coordinated the collection of Tomato Island (NT) – 300 km south-east of Katherine.
"It's fairly remote place. We had a number of people that had to be counted, including tourists and grey nomads who were camped along the riverside.
"To see the look on their faces when I came out of nowhere to take their details to be counted in the Census was such a laugh. Everybody was very happy about that," Mr Chisholm said.
"The 2016 Census aims to count 10 million dwellings and approximately 24 million people in Australia. Our RAMT Members will be a vital part of our workforce. Without them we can't count people living or working in remote regions," Mr Young said.
RAMT Members must have good knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander community protocols and demonstrated cultural awareness. Experience in off road (4X4) driving will also be highly desirable.
RAMT employees can earn $45.51 per hour (Team Leaders) and $34.76 per hour (Team Members) inclusive of 25% loading. Contracts start in April and will run for up to six months.
Applications close on the 21 February 2016. For Application Information Kits and details on how to apply visit www.abs.gov.au/careers
Applications for Area Supervisors are also currently open and close on 21 February. Application Information Kits and details on how to apply can also be found at www.abs.gov.au/careers
Background information on the 2016 Census of Population and Housing
Data collected from the 2016 Census will support funding decisions for services and infrastructure including housing, transport, education, industry, hospitals, and the environment.
The Census will also track Australia's changing social and economic landscape. For example, the 2011 Census revealed that 42,843 people were classified as living in the Remote Northern Territory.

Senate GOP Releases Own Version of Tax Legislation
November 10, 2017
Senate GOP takes different approach to tax reform than House; Trump Administration taking steps to crack down on opioid trafficking; Consumer sentiment reaches 97.8 in November compared to 100.9 estimate.
Policy Watch
- Senate GOP takes different approach to tax reform than House. Senate Republicans released their own version of tax-reform legislation on Thursday, breaking with President Trump by offering a one-year delay to the corporate tax cut and with House Republicans by repealing a deduction for state and local taxes. The Senate bill also maintains the estate tax in addition to popular tax credits and deductions for adoption, medical expenses, teacher expenses and graduate school. The Senate Finance Committee unveiled details of the bill to Republican senators during a special morning meeting. The differences may result in difficult conference negotiation between the House and Senate later in the year. [The Hill]
- Trump Administration taking steps to crack down on opioid trafficking. The Trump administration is making it easier to prosecute traffickers of potent synthetic opioids. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) intends to temporarily schedule all fentanyl-related substances on an emergency basis, according to the Justice Department on Thursday. That classification will let prosecutors to charge people trafficking substances similar to fentanyl with the same charges as fentanyl, which is up to 50 times more potent than heroin. Overseas chemical manufacturers are altering the chemical structure of fentanyl sent to the United States to evade the Controlled Substances Act, making it harder for prosecutors to convict drug traffickers. The temporary scheduling can last up to two years, with possibility of a one-year extension. It goes into effect no sooner than 30 days after the DEA publishes a notice of intent in the Federal Register. [The Hill]
Economic News
- Consumer sentiment reaches 97.8 in November compared to 100.9 estimate. The University of Michigan's index of consumer attitudes fell to 97.8 in November, below an estimate among Reuters economists of no change from the 100.7 level at the end of October. The consumer sentiment measure rose to 101.1 on October 13 – the highest level since 2004 – and has since been consistently deflating. Though consumer sentiment decreased nearly 3 percent in November, it still remains above the 2017 average of 96.8. [CNBC]

Yesterday, dropped off a package going out to AZ, Priority 3-days.
This morning, it said it was still waiting for the package.
Then, this evening, I got the tracking notice saying that it has been delivered. How can it possibly be, I thought to myself, right? Then, I looked again, closer. It was delivered at my mailbox! Man, I'm just furious. Of all the incompetence and stupidity that is the USPS that I had to deal with over the years, this without a doubt tops them all. Unbelievable!
Will try again, tomorrow. Ya think they are going to eff it up again?
Oh yeah, the pic of the package was taken tonight, after it was delivered,.................to me.
My current FedEx package started in Brownsville TX, stopped in Houston, then on to Northhampton PA (which appears to be middle of butt fuck PA), then to Sieverville TN, then to Olive Branch MS, to finally get back to Fort Worth TX, 8 days later for delivery to me by end of tomorrow the 9th day. I could have ridden my bicycle down and gotten it quicker.
I just completed a huge order shipping from multiple warehouses at rockauto.com. To ship everything via fedex was only a dollar more than usps. Guess which option I chose....
My rights do not end where your fear and/or selfishness begins.
|Oriental Redneck
My question is, how in the holy hell could this possibly have happened? Their scanning system would have told them where the package go next. And, that surely is not back to the original shipping address.
LOL, same day service. Can't wait for the result when you take it back.
You're lucky they delivered it on May 29th because the Expected Delivery Date on the label is May 31st.
They could have sat on it for two more days then delivered it to you

My company leased space in Feb that had been vacant for at least a year. All carriers started teying to deliver the former tenant's mail/packages to us. Had several conversations with all carriers. Determined former tenant moved 4 miles away and pointed all carriers to the new address. I have even spoken to the mail carrier on the former tenant's new route and the delivery supervisor at the post office.
I sent a self addressed stamped envelope to St. Louis, MO and put the new address in the to and from location. I even used an extra stamp just in case. Two weeks passed, and the former tenant mailed it to us from their new location...
Has to be in the running.

USPS isn't exactly hiring the 'top brass' these days.
That is how.
|Crossfire fanatic
Par for the course for these bastards. I sent a money order to Tenn. on 5-15-2019 and it never arrived.
I stopped today to try and cancel it and send a new one and they told me I have to wait 60 days before I can get a refund. In the mean time I can pay another 600 dollars and send a new one!!
Hope you have better luck.
|Happiness is
Vectored Thrust
Sorry to hear but I'm not surprised. It seems there is less caring by many at the USPS and other carriers like UPS, FedEx, etc. A lot is just laziness I think.
Case in point - had an email today from FedEx that a package was delivered today to my mailbox at the UPS store. On the line for who signed for it it has my name. As I'm at work 30 miles away I'm pretty sure I didn't sign for it.

I am adding to that!
I've got two orders in "Limbo" somewhere in Atlanta. I've even received stuff AFTER these two were "In Transit Arriving Late".
I filed inquiries with USPS and a day later got a "we'll look into it" email. Which I figure means "GO POUND SAND".
The two packages are over a week late.

Just put it back in your mailbox with Return to sender written on it in big letters, perhaps they'll then send it to the other address......or you'll just get it back in your mailbox 7 days later.....LOLOLOLOL
Don't work for the Post Office. Don't have any relatives or friends who do. The bitching about the USPS here is absolutely deserved. However I do feel bad for the good employees (yes there are some) who get tainted with the stench of this crap from some employees. I understand that they have a very powerful union and it's difficult to remove or demote chronic poor performers.
That does take the cake. I shook my head and chuckled. Sorry man.
Yes, Para does appreciate humor.
Incompetent! I've been waiting two weeks for a USPS package, says "arriving late " without any other info.
I did get a letter twenty three years later. The postmaster phoned me before he put it in my PO box. It turns out that the local post office was adding additional boxes at the bottom of the wall, and there it was. My box was at the top and he believes the letter was trapped in the wall.
I told him it would make a good story for the paper. He sort of chuckled and I guessed that was the purpose of his call. He said I did not want you to think it was just sitting on a desk somewhere. I asked if there was money in it and he hemmed and hawed. There was a 200 check enclosed which of course was no good.

Ciao a tutti!
I started Italian at Heart out of my love for Italian cuisine. To be honest, my language learning is motivated just a little bit…okay A LOT by food. Alberto already speaks English fluently, so Italian isn't essential for us to communicate. Furthermore, there are a lot of Italians who speak at least some English (MUCH better than I speak Italian).
Although, there was that time in Orvieto where the elderly couple at the deli counter spoke NO English. I silently panicked because I couldn't remember how to say "grams" in Italian (it's un etto = 100 grams FYI my fellow Americans), and what's worse is I didn't know how much a gram even was (#AmericanProblems)! (Actual footage circa 2015 below LOL). Has anyone else had a stressful (lack of) foreign language experience like that?! Let me know in the comments below!
I could be off the hook with learning Italian, except that I want to know everything there is to know about Italian food & wine traditions, compliment chefs & winemakers and learn about their craft, and especially talk around the table with Italian friends about food (as Italians do). I want to immerse myself in this culinary culture, my soul culture, and the only way to do that is to speak Italian well.
Italian food culture is the antidote to American food culture, and that's what I love about it. You won't find any unpronounceable chemicals and additives in Italian food, just whole, simple, REAL ingredients with flavors that complement each other. Quick convenience is sacrificed for slow cooking that yields flavors with exceptional depth and you wonder, how is this only five ingredients? There is a certain grounding in making the same recipes as our ancestors did. That slow, traditional, timeless connection to food and the earth and seasons is what I crave more than a quick drive thru Starbucks latte. I consume food in America, but I truly EAT in Italy. And I want to speak, too.
I'm really proud that I've added Italian studies consistently to my morning routine since the beginning of 2019. While my cousins and I were waiting for our Trastevere food tour with The Romand Guy, I came across an edicola (newsstand) and purchased a food magazine called Ci Piace Cucinare. I read one recipe per day with my morning coffee. I write down any new words in a beautiful notebook from Tuscany. That way when I am ready to make the recipe, I'll actually know what to do! It's been great because a lot of new words show up again in other recipes…like lessare is another way to say bollire (boil)…who knew!
If you love cooking too, here are three reasons why it's a great idea to cook & learn Italian!
Use words & phrases in context
The brain LOVES patterns from context. Recipes are a formula in which we can use grammar structures so that they make sense.
For example, I have only taken one semester of Italian in collage, where we only learned the present, past & future tenses. Just studying the imperative on its own in a grammar book does not make an impact on our long-term memory because it has real life meaning. However, when I combine my book Italian Verb Drills with real life recipes, the imperative makes sense.
Associate words with actions
I recently read an article that learning styles are bogus and that we should not take them into consideration. I beg to differ. (This is where my beliefs diverge from academia; I think not everything needs to be or can be proven with scientific "research," sometimes intuition regarding our own needs is sufficient, no?).
I learned in a very hands-on classroom from first to third grade, and I can remember lessons and activities VIVIDLY form that time period. On the other hand, I can hardly remember anything from high school or university in a very passive learning environment. My educated hypothesis is that varying your type of exposure to the language is key, not merely focusing on your preferred learning style.
Anyhow, hands-on learning is really what I enjoy and helps me commit grammar/vocabulary to long-term memory. It's about having an experience with the language. This is what is referred to as Total Physical Response, or TPR in the language education world. It connects speech with actions, much like how we learn our native language as infants.
The language becomes a tool to create – in this case make a recipe – and not the focus. The language becomes useful because we are using it to meet our needs. It envelopes the senses, creating a complete sensory experience where sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch are engaged.
Enjoy the learning Process
Most of all, I think what prevents many people from getting into language learning is that it's associated with the classroom, grades, and homework. When I studied abroad in Torino, I became intrigued with the idea of learning around the table because it happened so naturally and informally. I think that if we do what we love, the learning comes naturally and we don't have to force it, and sometimes that's how the classroom feels -forced- (saying that as a former classroom teacher & student).
- MIT has a beginning video series on cooking in Italian
- I'm also working on adding more bilingual cooking & wine tasting videos on My YouTube Channel
- If you would like something more advanced, try any cooking show like Cuochi e Fiamme or cooking channel like Giallo Zafferano
Chat with me:
- Do you incorporate cooking into your language learning?
- If so, what is the last recipe you made in your target language?
- What do you love about Italian cuisine?

Posts for: April, 2016
One of the most effective techniques for saving decayed or injured teeth is the root canal treatment. Yet when many people hear they need it, they become nervous at the prospect.
Much of this stems from a common misunderstanding that undergoing a root canal is painful. It's not — today's anesthetics are quite effective in numbing pain during a procedure, and mild pain relievers like ibuprofen are usually sufficient to manage any discomfort afterwards.
In fact, a root canal treatment relieves pain caused by decay within a tooth. As decay progresses, it can enter the interior known as the pulp, which contains bundles of nerves and blood vessels. It attacks these nerves causing pain and infection. If the infection progresses through passageways known as root canals that are in the roots of the tooth, the pain can intensify. More important, the tooth is in danger of loss as the root and connective tissues that hold the tooth in place are injured from the spreading infection.
During a root canal treatment, we access the pulp by drilling a small access hole, usually in the biting surface or in the rear of a front tooth. Once we enter the pulp chamber we remove all the contaminated tissue. Once thoroughly cleansed, we fill the empty chamber and canals with a special filling (usually gutta percha) to prevent future infection. The access hole is then sealed and at a subsequent visit we strongly recommend placing a permanent crown to provide further protection from damage to the tooth.
Root canal treatments are quite common. All general dentists have been trained in endodontic treatment and can perform most types of procedures. More difficult cases (like a complex root canal network that may be hard to access) may require the services of an endodontist, a specialist in root canals. Endodontists use advanced techniques and specialized microscopic equipment to treat complicated situations.
It's actually good news if we recommend you undergo a root canal treatment — it means your tooth has a good chance of survival once it's disinfected and the decay is removed. But don't delay: the sooner we can treat your tooth, the better your chances of a healthy outcome.
If you would like more information on root canal treatment, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Common Concerns about Root Canal Treatment."
When you're among the top players in your field, you need every advantage to help you stay competitive: Not just the best equipment, but anything else that relieves pain and stress, and allows you to play better. For top-seeded Canadian tennis player Milos Raonic, that extra help came in a somewhat unexpected form: a custom made mouthguard that he wears on the court and off. "[It helps] to not grind my teeth while I play," said the 25-year-old up-and-coming ace. "It just causes stress and headaches sometimes."
Mouthguards are often worn by athletes engaged in sports that carry the risk of dental injury — such as basketball, football, hockey, and some two dozen others; wearing one is a great way to keep your teeth from being seriously injured. But Raonic's mouthguard isn't primarily for safety; it's actually designed to help him solve the problem of teeth grinding, or bruxism. This habitual behavior causes him to unconsciously tense up his jaw, potentially leading to problems with muscles and teeth.
Bruxism is a common issue that's often caused or aggravated by stress. You don't have to be a world-class athlete to suffer from this condition: Everyday anxieties can have the same effect. The behavior is often worsened when you consume stimulating substances, such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and other drugs.
While bruxism affects thousands of people, some don't even suspect they have it. That's because it may occur at any time — even while you're asleep! The powerful jaw muscles that clench and grind teeth together can wear down tooth enamel, and damage both natural teeth and dental work. They can even cause loose teeth! What's more, a clenching and grinding habit can result in pain, headaches and muscle soreness… which can really put you off your game.
There are several ways to relieve the problem of bruxism. Stress reduction is one approach that works in some cases. When it's not enough, a custom made occlusal guard (also called a night guard or mouthguard) provided by our office can make a big difference. "When I don't sleep with it for a night," Raonic said "I can feel my jaw muscles just tense up the next day. I don't sense myself grinding but I can sort of feel that difference the next day."
 An occlusal guard is made from an exact model of your own mouth. It helps to keep your teeth in better alignment and prevent them from coming into contact, so they can't damage each other. It also protects your jaw joints from being stressed by excessive force. Plus, it's secure and comfortable to wear. "I wear it all the time other than when I'm eating, so I got used to it pretty quickly," said Raonic.
Teeth grinding can be a big problem — whether you put on your game face on the court… or at home. If you would like more information about bruxism, contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more in the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Stress & Tooth Habits" and "When Children Grind Their Teeth."

This month's talk from Manchester's Public Centre for History and Heritage will take place this Wednesday at the Central Library.
In Search of the Wild: Northern Landscapes on Television, looks at the growing popularity of landscape television, and the development of the flexible 'docu-lite' format that gives audiences a magazine-style blend of ecology, geography, literary, agricultural, local, and national history, memoir and anecdote.
Seen most obviously in the BBC's long-running, and ever-expanding flagship, Countryfile, the rise of this style of programme – produced across all of the major channels – marks an interesting moment in our relationship with rural landscapes, in particular.
Focusing on shows such as Mountain with Griff Rhys Jones, and Walking through History by Tony Robinson, this talk also discusses a much wider cultural interest in concepts of 'wilderness', and the 'North' that are apparent in much of the genre.
Finally, it examines how the contemporary sense of an 'eco-loss' contributes to the ways in which Northern landscapes on television fulfil a complex desire for the rugged, the dangerous, and the industrial.
The talk is given by Nicola Bishop, a senior lecturer in English literature with film and television at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Venue: Archives+, on the ground floor of the Manchester Central Library.
Everyone is welcome

Customer acquisition is one of the most expensive and time-consuming aspects of running a business.
You've got to convince cold prospects they have a problem — a problem that you alone can solve. And you have to make this sales pitch stand out among the 10,000-plus other marketing messages your target audience is exposed to on a daily basis.
This is why many businesses prefer to continue building relationships with existing customers. These users already have been converted. And it's easier, cheaper and faster to convince them to buy again — rather than trying to drum up new leads.
With the right approach, it's possible to leverage these existing relationships and transform customers into salespeople. In fact, this strategy can actually generate higher conversions than your in-house sales team can — all for a fraction of the cost.
Why Existing Customers Make Great Salespeople
Popularized by Robert Cialdini, social proof is a psychological concept that guides many of our actions — from where we eat to how we dress to what we believe. It's an evolutionary shortcut that allows us to make quick decisions whenever we're overloaded with too much information.
- If everyone is running down the street in a panic, you don't need to stop and assess the situation. You simply start running in the same direction as everyone else.
- If you see an empty restaurant, you'll be less inclined to stop for a bite. The food might be delicious, but it's clearly empty for a reason.
- If a new book sells a gazillion copies in one month, it must be pretty good — and you're far more likely to pick up your copy as a result.
These are examples of social proof. Rather than weigh all the options and do your own research, you can rely on the wisdom of the crowd instead.
Social proof can also work at a personal level, like with product recommendations or doctor referrals from a trusted friend. Suggestions from within your network can often be far more compelling than slick brochures or catchy jingles.
As an added bonus, the referrer also feels better — both about herself and the company or product she's recommending. This is because providing value to others allows us to claim "partial" ownership in the positive experiences they receive.
As a business owner, you can tap into this powerful psychological concept.
How to Encourage Your Customers to Do All the Talking
If your existing customers aren't happy with your products and services, none of the following suggestions will work. They may even backfire.
So, it's imperative that you shore up your offerings, communicate with your users, and invest time building strong relationships. Once you can consistently maintain high customer satisfaction rates, you can begin using the tips below to transform happy users into eager salespeople.
1. Ask for Referrals
The easiest way to generate referrals is to simply ask for them. Yet, many businesses completely overlook this option. Don't make the same mistake.
In all of your correspondence with customers, invite them to recommend your business to friends and family. You can even use email forms and referral buttons to reduce friction and make the process easier.
2. Reward Referrals
Another referral strategy is to offer rewards or discounts for friends and family members. If an existing customer refers a new one, for example, maybe they both get 10 percent off their next purchase.
This tactic can be particularly effective if the reward is some type of branded merchandise, such as a mug, tote bag or T-shirt with your logo. These items can continue to "sell" your business wherever they go.
3. Add Testimonials
Consider inviting your repeat customers to share their experiences in a short survey. With their permission, you can use these glowing reviews as testimonials on your website.
If you can get photos of these reviewers, that's even better. Pictures of actual faces can increase conversion rates by up to 20 percent.
4. Add Client Logos
If you run a B2B website, you can add logos of some of your most recognizable clients.
This is a kind of passive social proof that doesn't require any direct input from your current customers. The mere presence of these logos sends a clear message that you must know what you're doing. Why else would these established players do business with you?
5. Add Social Sharing Buttons
With the right plugin, you can add social sharing buttons to your website. Whenever customers see an article they really like, all they have to do is click the Facebook or Twitter icon — and that article is instantly added to their social feed for others to see.
This works even if the visitor isn't a customer. Maybe he/she just stumbled on your site after a Google search. It doesn't matter. Everyone in that social network will get the message regardless.
How Much Are You Paying Your Sales Team?
Maintaining an in-house sales team can be expensive. But with the exception of branded merchandise, most of the suggestions above are free. As a result, the potential ROI of these sales strategies is huge.
So, give these tips a try and let your customers do the talking for you.

Road safety charity Brake has responded to the publication of new road casualty statistics from the Department for Transport, which show male drivers in their 20s remain the most at-risk group for drink-driving in the UK.
According to the official government data, more than one in ten (13 per cent) men aged from 20 to 29 that were involved in a road traffic collision during 2014 were found to be over the legal limit for alcohol when breathalysed after the event.
Overall, this placed young men as the most prolific offenders in terms of facing the serious repercussions of drink-driving in the UK.
On average, the figures showed that 26 people are killed or seriously injured each week in the UK in a crash involving a drink-driver, with young males the group most likely to be involved and at fault.
Responding to the data, director of communications and campaigns for Brake Gary Rae said: "We must continue to send a clear message to all drivers, but especially young men, that drinking and driving is a lethal cocktail.
"It's shocking to see how many crashes, many involving deaths and serious injuries, have involved men in their 20s. We are calling on the UK government to introduce a zero-tolerance drink-drive limit."
In addition, the body continues to lobby for a dramatic overhaul to new driver training in the UK, with a focus on more graduated learning and providing ongoing support to young motorists to ensure they have the necessary skills and experience to drive safely after passing their test.

Tricia has a book deal!!!
My debut is set to come out Winter 2017 from Macmillan/Feiwel and Friends. 2017 is sure to be a piratey year. Click on the image below for details.
The month of May I took a sabbatical to Seattle, where my friend and playwright/screenwriter (the indomitable Katherine Gee Perrone!) helped me plot my latest novel. Because when you're stuck, ask for help! Writing doesn't always have to be a completely solitary vocation. But I digress. The most helpful part of our plotting session was learning some good screenwriting terminology that helped me cement in my mind how I like plots to be constructed, both as a reader and as a writer.
"Beats lead to beats!" she'd say every time I got stuck. And isn't that the true essence of plot–more so than, say, "stuff happens" or "the characters did stuff"?
Just to make the terminology clear, in screenwriting, a beat "refers to an event, decision, or discovery that alters the way the protagonist pursues his or her goal" (via Dr. Wikipedia). Even if your character goes to the store to pick up a gallon of milk, how does that affect the story? (Granted, some readers like books where Stuff Happens that isn't obviously moving the plot forward, so YMMV).
Speaking to the zeitgeist, I see two different ways this is employed in storytelling. One is the Outlander model, more episodic than any novel I've read. Each chapter of Outlander feels self-contained, so while some beats lead to the next beat within the chapter, many of the events of each chapter only yield consequences further down the line. The advantage of episodic storytelling is to give the reader time and space to feel immersed in the world–and the Highlands of 1743 is a world I don't mind being a tourist in. Still, as I'm reading I can see that something that Claire and Jamie do or say will affect the plot later in the novel, so I'm never disoriented by having lost the "thread" of the plot.
The second method is the style of storytelling employed by Mad Max: Fury Road. The pace is breakneck. Each character's decision leads to immediate and forceful consequences. What with the action scenes and blocking, the plot of MM:FR feels like a Rube Goldberg machine–in some action scenes, I mean this statement literally. The advantage in this method (manifold) is that your reader feels a sense of danger and urgency but also continuity. It's not hard to keep track of where each character is in their arc, because the story doesn't give you time to forget. The character Nux is the best example of this, since his arc is the most dramatic, (SPOILER AHEAD) going from being a minion of the villain to an ally of the protagonists. The scene where he "turns" from one side to the other makes sense, even given how short it is and with such little dialogue, because we've JUST seen him mess something up (END SPOILER)…no time is wasted with the dialogue remind the audience of what Nux has already been through and where his head is at.
A nice thing about plotting with a "beat leads to beat" style is that you can get a nice mix of character-driven and event-driven plot (internal forces vs external forces driving the story forward), because a beat can be decisions that come straight from the characters and also external events and circumstances. However, for me, the advantage of keeping this phrase in mind while plotting is that the plot feels like there is a continuous thread tying it all together. That sense of continuity is ubiquitous in Western storytelling, and your readers are probably looking for that.
Brainstorming is my favorite part of story writing. I think it's possible, if you are the outlining kind of writer, to create a pretty strong story before you start writing by simply asking the right questions.
You know when you go see a big sci fi or fantasy epic at the movie theater and (occasionally) you spend the whole time punching holes in the plot? "Why didn't they just call the eagles to take them to the Lonely Mountain?" "If she can blast people with her magic, why did she spend so long running away from the other witch?" So when you're brainstorming ask yourself thorough questions. Rather than impeding creativity, I find it boosts mine because problem solving is a creative exercise. 'What if' is fun, and a great place to begin brainstorming, but don't neglect 'why,' and 'how.'
Another brainstorming method I've used effectively is to take a notebook (the catnip of writers), open it to a blank page, and do a free write where you list every cool or inspiring thing that comes to you. Sometimes by combining story elements you think are awesome, you arrive at new ideas and characters and plots.
If you use this method, I'd suggest you spend some time towards the end using with the first method I discussed. Ask yourself as many questions as possible. Explore all possible ramifications of the story you've come up with. Or don't. Maybe you've written enough to realize that you like exploring your plot tangles while writing the first draft, i.e., a gardener or discovery writer. That's cool too.
(Sorry, friends! I've just moved to a new place, and things have been crazy. But here is the post you were supposed to receive on Monday.)
Several months ago I had a conversation with an editor who had set up her own e-publishing company. As a freelancing editor, I inquired about the company to see if it might be a good place to offer my freelancing services. But the email conversation I ended up having with this editor made it perfectly clear that we would not be a good fit together. Our ideas differed greatly in how we approach a manuscript.
She said that she didn't like to break up the editing process in rounds. Rather than do a development edit, substantive edit, and then copy edit in individual rounds, their company liked to take care of all the editing in one large "comprehensive" edit, she call it.
And I asked her why she thought it was a good idea to do a copy edit at the same time as a development edit. Wouldn't many of the words change once the author started putting in the big picture revisions from the development edit?
Her response was something like this: I don't understand why so many people ask me this. Not much should change throughout the editing process. Unless the editor is rewriting the author's story, most of it should be the same. It's the author's work, and I can't stand it when editors try to change so much of it. Then it's not the author's work anymore. It's the editor's.
Now I've heard statements like this before from self-published authors. In fact, I have had many self-published authors tell me this is the very reason why they don't want to be traditionally published—because the work won't be theirs anymore.
And now I'm going to tell you all the same thing I told that editor and those self-published authors.
Editing is not a bad thing. Lots of edits are not necessarily a bad thing. It doesn't mean that the author is a bad writer. Authors are too close to their work to notice even obvious mistakes at times, and all authors need an editor to point those out to them. I've been hired to do copy edits on manuscripts that needed serious "big picture" edits, but I wasn't allowed to say a word because I'd been hired specifically for a copy edit
And it was painful.
As an author providing a product to your reading audience, wouldn't you want to give them the best product possible?
What happens when one of your character's personalities changes throughout the book for no reason, and you don't have an editor there to tell you? What happens when your climax shouldn't actually be possible because you forgot to foreshadow some important details? Or what if you forgot to resolve one of your minor conflicts?
Editors are there to make your work solid. They're there to get rid of all the plot holes, character inconsistencies, and other errors. There are so many things to keep straight in a story. A book has LOTS of words in it. Odds are, you will need to change many of them, and that's okay. Because you should want to strengthen your story. You should want to make it the best it can be, and it's okay that you can't do that on your own.
I believe that editing should be done in rounds, working from the big stuff, to the little stuff. Lots of people should read a manuscript and offer feedback, and authors should not be insulted by such critique. Serious writers should want to learn from their mistakes. They should want to become better. They should want to give their audience the best book possible.
I don't understand why authors would feel like the book isn't theirs anymore after doing edits. Once an editor or writing group points out those big errors to the author, it's up to THEM to figure out how to fix it. Essentially, those edits become the author's edits. The work still ultimately becomes what the author makes it to be.
I don't know where I would be without my writing group and other readers. They point out embarrassing mistakes that I'm not able to notice for myself. Like not having a plot 30,000 words into my story. Big problem, yes? Needed to change quite a bit of words, yes? Yes. And I did. That was four books ago for me. I've since then discovered that I am a plotter. I need to plan out my books before I write them. These days, I start with a plot when I write my stories, and they're so much better off for it.
Don't be scared of critique. Be excited to make your book better. Be excited to become a better writer.
An easy way to make a character likeable is to make them competent at their jobs/hobbies/anything really. The common wisdom is that we like characters who are talented.
Of course, being competent isn't the only way to make a character likeable. One of my favorite character types is the screw-up, i.e., the opposite of the competent character. I especially love screw up characters in comedies.
Why do I like them. Whether they're loveable losers, too dumb to live, or can't catch a break…I want to hug them all, or laugh if not at then with them.
Thinking about this the other day, I wondered how well screw-up characters work outside of comedy. Spoiler: they can work in any genre.
Harry Potter, with the notable exception of DADA, isn't particularly talented at school or magic. However, Harry is courageous, loyal, and good. Oh, and Ron too. Ron's humor makes him pretty damn likeable.
What I realized, unsurprisingly, was that even though these characters weren't competent at their "job" there was some big trait to admire. So if I can't admire a character's competency, then I admire another trait: their humor, their bravery, the way they've overcome their past, etc. Harry Potter serves as a great example of that. Somehow, in thinking about how to write a screw-up character whose shoes a reader may still want to fill, that's the realization I came to.
However nebulous "likeability" really is, in fiction "likeable" characters are characters we can admire.
If you who don't have your finger on the pulse of the publishing industry, you might not know that the industry is currently like a coin flipping in the air, and no one knows just how it will land. With the rise of the ebook, traditional forms of publishing–particularly print publishing–are under attack from all sides, and no one knows what publishing is going to look like in five or ten years.
While some people are using this time to cling to old formats of publishing, others are taking advantage of the disruptive innovation of the ebook to do some really impressive things. Those of you who are interested in what the future of books might be, take note. Interactive books are coming.
In reality, we've had interactive books for a while now. I'm sure you can all remember the choose-your-own-adventure books from your childhood or, my personal favorite, those picture books that had little icons on the page that corresponded to noise making buttons on the side. You guys remember those? I sure do.
But with the rise of the ebook and the internet, books have the capability to become far more interactive–and far more high tech–than a choose-your-own-adventure story.
Back in September of 2012, the first installment of The Infinity Ring series was released. The Infinity Ring was published by Scholastic and was their attempt to bring together reading, gaming, and history. The story follows time travelling kids who have to keep history on track to avoid world catastrophes.
While the book can be read just by itself, readers also have the opportunity to continue the journey of the book online. By going to the internet, readers can play a role-playing game as one of the books main characters. Scholastic, which has previously tapped into the goldmine of the internet through its 39 Clues books in which readers could go online to unlock exclusive bonus content, has long since realized that most kids aren't satisfied with books alone. They want something more, something they can control and interact with. And with The Infinity Ring, they can do just that.
This, of course, isn't the only multi-media book experience. J.K.Rowling, who is no less than a queen in the publishing industry, introduced her fans to Pottermore in 2011. Pottermore is meant to be an interactive online companion to the Harry Potter books. While all seven books aren't up on Pottermore yet, users still can interact with pivotal moments of the first four or five books. They can get wands (mine is pear wood with a phoenix feather core) and get sorted (Gryffindor) and make potions or duel other users to get points for their houses. While a lot of users, myself included, complain that the site has no return value, fans of the Potter books keep going back to the site for the free content that delve deeper and deeper into J.K.Rowling's fictional world. For die-hard fans of the books, that content is absolutely invaluable.
Of course, both of these are examples of print books with interactive supplemental content. The possibilities are considerably more endless.
I'll let this Ted Talk explain it all:
Personally, I have a hard time seeing all books going in this direction, but the possibilities are endless and exciting to explore.
I was hanging out with Tricia on Saturday, thinking/complaining about how I'm so inconsistent with how I write. First, I don't do it often enough. Second, as soon as something's not fun anymore I give up on it. Third, I don't even revise what I finish or let me friends comment on it.
And as any writer will tell you, a writer writes. So that makes me not a real writer…right?
But, here's the thing. Don't delude yourself, but don't be too hard on yourself either. There are always extenuating circumstances, and you need to take a deep breath and decide whether to suck it up and stop making excuses for yourself OR if you need to get help and take care of yourself. You know, mentally.
My happiest writing memory, by far, is sitting at the junior high where I worked a couple of years ago, subbing a teacher's classes while the students watched a mockumentary about dragons, and working on a brand new novel. It was four hours of fun. Four hours that I hold on to like I'm hanging on to the edge of a cliff. Because beyond those few hours, writing has never been fun for me. It's a painful, abusive hobby. The only reason I still want to do it is because I have too many characters running around in my head. I want to give them life, but actually doing it feels like rubbing my face against a cheese grater. (If you're a perfectionist to the extent that I am, you'll understand what I'm talking about.)
Those Platonic hours were the easiest, sunniest writing hours of my life for virtue of the fact that I was in the best place mentally that I'd been in years, and have been in years.
So if anyone is beating themselves up because their dream is to be a writer/artist/whatever, but they just can't seem to get it together, you have all my commiseration. Rather than repeat over and over that writers write, let's focus our energies on taking care of ourselves. With that in mind, I've created a self-care list for writers.
JK Rowling's Harvard commencement speech is still one of the most inspiring things I've ever heard.
Learn to recognize shame in order to eliminate it from your thoughts:
Laughter is the best medicine and I don't care how hackneyed that phrase is, it's true.
Laugh and cry with Allie Brosh?
And remember

The number of deaths in Kerala floods has touched 265 since August 8, while 36 people are still missing, the latest government figures show, even as the state prepares to mount a massive rehabilitation process for the displaced.
The hilly district of Idukki, housing the largest arch dam in Asia from which waters were released for the first time in 26 years, has been hit the hardest — 51 deaths and 10 still missing, as per the latest figures released by the Disaster Management State Control Room.
The district, home to tea and spices plantations, is also a favourite tourist destination.
Thrissur has reported 43 deaths, 38 from Ernakulam, 43 from Alapuzha and 30 from Malappuram.
With over 8.69 lakh people still in 2,287 relief camps, it is a subdued 'Onam', the harvest festival, in the state.
However, despite the massive setback, many people who have lost their homes and all their belongings, marked the occasion, though it was low key.
Many people who returned to their homes began cleaning up their house. Ten year-old Nandana was busy drying her books in front of her home in Kochi. "There is no floral carpet in my home," she said.
While in another camp, children gathered together, made new friends and played football and cricket in an effort to take their mind off the trauma.
A government release issued late last night said the flood-hit areas would be recorded using a mobile app, with the help of voluntary organisations and local bodies and compensation would be distributed after this process.

Terry, I love Dotty. Can I take her home? The colors and shapes that you realized in this piece are a perfect match. There is a great deal of animation that makes me think of figures running for taxi cabs in a summer rain. Well, it is raining today and that may have something to do with my impression. The little short white hashmarks really create a lot of energy in this piece.ReplyDelete
Terry, you metion you "know to much" (from an educational perspective) and thus it may affect your ability for intuitive response---I tend to think of intuitive or intuition AS experience---the collective whole that we develop over a long period of working with successes and failures. Those experiences imbed in our memory/brains somewhere, and affect how we respond to future situations. Some call it a gut reaction, or viseral response, as though it is mystical, but I think of it as intuition and though it is not always immediately clear why we respond intuitively, in a breakdown analysis, I think more often than not we would see it has logical and rational foundations.ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting this. And, I the Dotty piece!
Oh what it is to be ...dotty!! I love the stitching...it connects and makes them less alone and lowering.ReplyDelete
Enjoying the conversation on intuition:
visit http://elizabethbarton.blogspot.com
for my response!!!
Thanks guys for your comments. Jane, I too think as intuition as 'the whole ball of wax'. Everything you know. My reference to knowing too much really is in response to the suggestion that you just go into your studio and 'something magical' happens and the work just gets made. While I do have a belief in the idea of the 'collective mind', I also think you have to take responsibility and ownership of what you do and that just saying you work intuitively somehow sidesteps that responsibility.ReplyDelete
oh, ok, Yes. I work every day to get students to talk and write about what they do and how they make decisions. You're right about taking responsibility for the work and the decisions.ReplyDelete
couldn't have put it better! your last sentence sums it all up perfectly. We are and SHOULD be responsible for what we do. There is No Magic out there, it is all within you..but you have to Exert it!ReplyDelete
Terry, your comment above is right on about citing intuition as a substitute for articulating what really went on in your head. I think that we all have intuitive moments, where we just know what to do next, but the thoughtful artist will subsequently reflect on what happened and figure out why. That knowledge can be very helpful as you contemplate what to do in the next piece in your series or at some other future decision point.ReplyDelete
