Welcome to the two hundred and sixty-first of my blog interviews with novelists, poets, short story authors, biographers, agents, publishers and more. Today's is with debut novelist Shannon SS Michaels. A list of interviewees (blogged and scheduled) can be found here. If you like what you read, please do go and investigate further.
Morgen: Hello, Shannon. Please tell us something about yourself and how you came to be a writer.
Shannon: I am a former accountant and a mom of two who has dabbled in writing all my life. It all started with a job at a local newspaper when I was in high school. I wrote in dribs and drabs throughout college and beyond, but really got serious about it when I attended graduate school and pursued screenwriting. Then, I moved away from Hollywood, started a family, and decided to turn one of my scripts into a book.
Morgen: And the rest is history as they say… or they would if it weren't a cliché. 🙂 What genre do you generally write and have you considered other genres?
Shannon: I generally write something called transgressive fiction. It's on the quirky side of things, heavy on violence and drugs amongst other things. I have actually considered making a foray into the YA arena, as it seems to be the most financially rewarding these days, but I just don't think I have it in me.
Morgen: Me neither. I like dark (love quirky) and light (humour) but have no children (unless you count an 11-year-old Jack Russell cross who I clearly should have taught to read by now), although there are two YAs next door so I could test my writing on them. They'd gladly read it actually, they love the fact I write. 🙂 What have you had published to-date?
Shannon: I've had a few shorts published, but my first book, IDOLS & CONS, came out in November.
Morgen: So you're presumably at the beginning stages of your marketing. How much of the marketing do you do for your published works or indeed for yourself as a 'brand'?
Shannon: My publisher is brand-new and very small, so I play a pretty large role in marketing. I'm always looking for bloggers, reviewers, that type of thing.
Morgen: And you found me. 🙂 Pretty much all the authors I've spoken to have said they do heaps of marketing so I think you still would – it seems to be that way these days. Do you write under a pseudonym? Do you think they make a difference to an author's profile?
Shannon: I write under my initials S. S. Does it make any difference? I don't think so.
Morgen: I don't think so either – it's still all about branding, isn't it? Getting people to know who you are. Do you have an agent? Do you think they're vital to an author's success?
Shannon: I had two agents, both fired. Vital? No. If you have the right one, it might help get your book on an editor's desk, but I think, with the way publishing is going right now, having an agent is really not essential.
Morgen: Certainly becoming less so. I tried that route and now I'm not sure if I'd try again, although if one knocked on my door I'd think carefully. 🙂 Are your books available as eBooks? If so what was your experience of that process? And do you read eBooks?
Shannon: My book is available as an eBook. My publisher was in charge of that process, so I don't have much to say about that. Do I read eBooks? Not if I can help it.
Morgen: I didn't until I bought a Kindle. I'll still probably read more paperbacks at home but it's great to know I always have plenty to read in my bag. Did you have any say in the title of your book? How important do you think titles are?
Shannon: Yes, I had the opportunity to give my book its title. And to change it. I think a title is very important. It needs to be punchy and stick in someone's mind.
Morgen: It does. I'm a big fan of titles although a bad one won't necessarily put me off (although it would have to have a great blurb for me to get past it). What are you working on at the moment / next?
Shannon: Right now, I'm editing my book REVIVAL HOUSE, which will be published early next year. It's a quirky horror novel set in Savannah, Georgia.
Morgen: 🙂 Do you plot your stories or do you just get an idea and run with it?
Shannon: I write out incredibly detailed outlines and plots. And then I throw them away.
Morgen: <laughs> I plotted my first novel then realised that the characters take over so I didn't really do any planning for the others. Do you write short stories? If so, apart from the word count, what do you see as the differences between them and novels and why do you think they're so difficult to get published?
Shannon: I write very few short stories. I just had one accepted for an anthology dealing with attic toys. I'm not entirely sure why it's so difficult to get published. Maybe because there are thousands of short stories out there, all competing for the same slots. In any case, telling a story in so few words involves an entirely different skill set from writing a novel. I'm not usually that concise.
Morgen: I can talk (waffle) for England but strangely I prefer shorter the better… a time / attention span thing I think. Are you involved in anything else writing-related other than actual writing or marketing of your writing?
Shannon: I am, at the moment, co-editing one anthology and editing another.
Morgen: Wow, what fun. 🙂 How much research do you have to do for your writing?
Shannon: I do an incredible amount of research for my writing. It's the best form of procrastination.
Morgen: Especially online. Do you write on paper or do you prefer a computer?
Shannon: I used to write on paper, but I can't do it anymore. My handwriting has become illegible from lack of use.
Morgen: Mine's not too bad but I realise in our Monday night workshops how slow it is. I think I should suggest we use laptops but then that might feel like cheating. Some writers like quiet, others the noise of a coffee shop etc. Do you listen to music or have noise around you when you write or do you need silence?
Shannon: Some days I enjoy silence. Other days I'm bouncing off the walls, listening to Nine Inch Nails or something.
Morgen: 🙂 What point of view do you find most to your liking: first person or third person? Have you ever tried second person?
Shannon: I am a first person writer. I just like it. Second? I haven't done it, but not out of the question.
Morgen: I love it. As you like dark, you might like my story 'The Dark Side' (it's free, help yourself :)). I'd urge every writer to have a go at second person. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_person_narrative is a good place to start. Do you use prologues / epilogues? What do you think of the use of them?
Shannon: My stories kind of wrap around on themselves, so, in a sense, they have a built-in prologue.
Morgen: I like that idea. 🙂 What do you like to read? Any authors you could recommend?
Shannon: Chuck Palahniuk, Bret Easton Ellis, Peter Straub, S. G. Browne, Jeremy C. Shipp
Morgen: Is there a word, phrase or quote you like?
Shannon: "No."
Morgen: Ah… I seem to remember that word… don't use it often enough myself. 🙂 Where can we find out about you and your work?
Shannon: My blog is a good place to go http://slushpilehero.wordpress.com.
Morgen: If you could have your life over again, Shannon, is there anything you'd have done differently (writing-related or otherwise)?
Shannon: I would have gone to medical school.
Morgen: Oh wow. I considered law but was put off by the seven years of study (plus my results weren't good enough, which didn't help). Thank you Shannon. All the best for novel number two.
S. S. Michaels is a writer of "transgressive fiction". Her short stories can be seen in 31 Nights of Halloween (Rainstorm Press) and an up-coming collection of attic toy stories (Evil Jester Press). Her novel, IDOLS & CONS (Omnium Gatherum Media), is now available. She has lived abroad, traveled widely, jumped out of an airplane and driven a race car. She has worked in film and television, reading slush & writing coverage, then working as a production coordinator, and finally serving as a TV network financial analyst. She lives on the Georgia coast. Her blog is http://slushpilehero.wordpress.com.
If you are reading this and you write, in whatever genre, and are thinking "ooh, I'd like to do this" then you can… just email me and I'll send you the information. They do now (January 2013) carry a fee (£10 / €12.50 / $15) for the new interviews on this blog but everything else (see Opportunities on this blog) is free.
If you go for the interview, it's very simple; I send you a questionnaire (I have them for novelists, short story authors, children's authors, non-fiction authors, and poets). You complete the questions, and I let you know when it's going to go live. Before it does so, I add in comments as if we're chatting, and then they get posted. When that's done, I email you with the link so you can share it with your corner of the literary world. And if you have a writing-related blog / podcast and would like to interview me… let me know.
Alternatively, if you'd like a free Q&A-only interview, I now have http://morgensauthorinterviews.wordpress.com on which I've rerun the original interviews posted here then posted new interviews which I then reblog here. These interviews are Q&A only, so I don't add in my comments but they do get exposure on both sites.

How to make your Holiday Home Popular! You should never miss the huge possibility of profitability to attract the repeat customers. There are various people who wish to come back to same Holiday Villas To Rent In Portugal for several years, in case they enjoy good experience during their initial round. So make this quite much simple for the potential repeat customers for the purpose of deciding to come back. For an effective mode of communication, you may also set up an email newsletter about your Villas In Portugal Algarve that you may always keep in touch and also tempt them with the stream of exclusive offers and news about local area and possibly even the web cam. You might even consider offering the reduced rate when the customers book the Villa Holidays Portugal return next year, at the same time, they are yet on the initial stay. People usually are much sad to leave and hence it is always a great time to always tempt customers with a prospect of the return visit. There are various accommodation providers in tourism industry that look up to 70% or 80% of the customers returning. Thereby making the best from the potential to win the repeat business for Portugal Family Holidays and this is the most essential as well as an effective tool for perfect promotional marketing. You may also try to enhance the bookings of the holiday home that also offer you with the facility of Self Catering Portugal by thinking about how would the customers enjoy the holiday home during the peak season. Many property management companies about holiday home say that even though the peak season attains complete occupancy devoid of much difficulty, greatest marketing challenge is about attaining the high occupancy quite early as well as even late in the season. It is where the effective marketing might actually come their own. You eagerly wish for big day to come which you will be embarking on the journey to the holiday home. On the other hand buying and renting at some place and even miles away from the homeland is certainly the trendy thing mainly among Europeans now a day. Such kind of the homes used to get possessed by rich and also well off in past. But with surge in the rental businesses, people even think of buying as well as renting the holiday homes. Prior that buying the holiday home, you should work out bit about where you wish to purchase this, the locality, people as well as civilization of place and much more. The key thing is that you must initially determine where you actually should buy the holiday home. Usually the coastal areas are much preferred when it is about buying one. It is always great to feel the pocket also before deciding about buying the holiday house. Make yourself and think that how much you will be able to spend for the holiday. Holiday homes usually come for various prices that differ by location, offered installations etc.. For instance, if you are searching to buy the holiday homes you should be completely prepared to spend king's ransom as well.

Athletics: Clevedon women show superb form
PUBLISHED: 08:30 12 February 2019
Clevedon AC women were in superb form at the weekend.
Eloise Baker and Vicki Leckie both recorded personal bests at the Exeter Half Marathon.
The pair knocked several minutes off their old marks, as consistent training in recent weeks paid off handsomely.
The flat, scenic course on paths and cycle tracks along the River Exe and Exeter canal was into a headwind, but Baker clocked 1:38.51 and Leckie came home in 1:51.43.
The Ironwood Challenge 10k on Sunday began in Long Ashton village and the hilly, off-road route had some tough climbs and slippery downhill sections.
But Francesca Rawlings came home first for Clevedon, followed by Sally Richards, Nicole Skippins and Ashley Lockton.
Clevedon AC train on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, leaving from the Strode Leisure Centre at 7pm.
Further information can by found at their website clevedonac.co.uk.

Einstein's weirdest prediction is true - and will soon radically transform our understanding of the universe
Scientists have known this since at least 1974, when two astronomers proved their existence using a bizarre object deep in space (more on that in a moment).The problem is that no one has yet directly detected the elusive waves since Albert Einstein first predicted their existence 100 years ago.Advertisement
"Einstein dismissed them because he thought they couldn't be measured, and a lot of people today still doubt they can be detected," Imre Bartos, a physicist at Columbia University who's trying to find them, told Tech Insider. "That's because we're looking for something way smaller than the size of the atom. It sounds crazy, but we're not crazy."
Detecting gravitational waves would be astounding.This would not only vindicate Einstein's wildest prediction and tell us we're on the right track to understanding how the universe works, but also give astronomers a powerful new tool to probe the cosmos - from deep inside exploding stars to the surfaces of black holes.
Failing to record their signal after all these years would highlight how much we have yet to learn - and possibly unlearn.
Why we know gravitational waves exist
Public Domain
Anything with mass warps the fabric, including you. Yet the denser and more massive an object, the greater the distortion.
Dense objects that move really, really fast can radically distort spacetime, some with enough energy to trigger ripples like a speedboat careening across a placid lake.This was conjecture, though, until 1974. That's when astronomers Russell Hulse and Joseph Taylor stumbled upon the deep-space equivalent of two speedboats spiraling into each other.Advertisement
Both objects were neutron stars - the ultra-dense cores of dead stars that form when a star blows up and its core collapses but is not big enough to form a black hole. One of the neutron stars was spinning fast enough to emit radio pulses as a pulsar (which is how they found the star system to begin with).
Hulse and Taylor discovered the neutron stars rapidly orbiting one another.Surprisingly, over the years they noticed the pulsar's orbit was hastening, bit by bit, and deduced the stars would spiral into each other and collide in about 300 million years.Advertisement
"That orbital energy had to be going somewhere," Bartos said. By disturbing spacetime so much during their deadly cosmic dance, he said, the stars had to bleed off the energy as gravitational waves.1993 Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking discovery of the bizarre object, now called the Hulse-Taylor Pulsar, and its role in indirectly showing gravitational waves exist.Advertisement
Still, they did not actually detect the waves themselves.
Why detecting gravitational waves is so hardBartos is part of a 1,000-scientist collaboration called the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO for short.The $1 billion experiment has searched for signals emitted by colliding neutron stars or black holes since 2002, yet there hasn't been any clear signal so far.Advertisement
However, many insiders believe LIGO will finally confirm its first gravitational wave detection on Thursday, February 11.
The signs for this have only strengthened since we first reported on the rumors, with an official (and very cryptic) LIGO press conference scheduled for that day:
LIGO press conference Feb 11 @ 10:30am EST. See https://t.co/feeHtRtoix for more info! #GravitationalWaves- LIGO (@LIGO) February 9, 2016
Bartos would not confirm or deny any of the rumors with Tech Insider, nor would LIGO spokesperson Gaby Gonzalez.
Still, Bartos seemed confident that the elusive waves can be detected."Gravity is a horribly weak force, which makes our lives much harder," he said. "But one thing that works to our advantage is that the signal decays much [more slowly] than light. Gravitational waves fade as you go farther but not as quickly."Advertisement
To pick up on weak yet far-reaching spacetime ripples, LIGO uses two enormous L-shaped detectors that are filled with lasers and mirrors to pick up on the tiniest of disturbances.LIGO collaborator, compared them to a pair of giant ears that can "hear" the spacetime ripples that result from neutron star collisions, black hole mergers, or some other catastrophic event in space, like a giant exploding star.The closer a collision is to Earth, the "louder" the signal should be.Advertisement
LIGO's hearing is sensitive enough to detect mind-blowingly small disturbances of space, "much smaller than the size of the atoms the detector is built of," Marka said.PhD Comics says LIGO's level of sensitivity is "like being able to tell that a stick 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 meters long has shrunk by 5mm."Put another way, detecting a gravitational wave is like noticing the Milky Way - which is about 100,000 light-years wide - has stretched or shrunk by the width of a pencil eraser.Advertisement
It would be no wonder why it has taken researchers so long to find gravitational waves; it's terribly difficult work. Even car traffic on a road miles away can disturb LIGO, despite the instruments' state-of-the-art vibration-dampening equipment.
Why detecting them will be amazingAdvertisement
When we do, says Bartos, we will have a unbelievably powerful new tool to study the universe.
One killer application of gravitational waves is to reveal supernovas - huge, exploding stars that seed the universe with elements like carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen as well as platinum and gold - hours before they're visible to any telescope."Gravitational waves arrive at Earth long before any light does," Bartos said. "When a massive star's core collapses, starting the supernova to form a black hole, the surface doesn't know the core has collapsed for awhile."Advertisement
The reason, he said, is that the star gets in the way of itself. "All of this stuff tries to come out, including light, but it bumps into the star's matter and gets stuck until the whole star collapses. But gravitational waves can pass right through."
So if a gravitational wave source lights up some detectors, it might be from a supernova - giving astronomers plenty of notice to point telescopes like Hubble in that direction, hit record, and get an unprecedented look at processes that are the reason Earth and life exist at all.Advertisement
"It's not just about catching a supernova. You can only scratch the surface of them with telescopes," he said. "In order to have a better picture of the process, you need to see it at the heart, where a black hole is being born.""Right now the only tools to explore what happens inside are computer models," he added.Yet another way gravitational waves will help astronomers understand the universe is in measuring the frequency of major cosmic phenomena.Advertisement
Supernovas in the Milky Way, which LIGO might detect, are thought to occur two or three times every 100 years.
It's completely unknown, however, how often black holes might merge, or neutron stars, or some combination of both. And those events are critically important to understand, since they shape star systems and galaxies."LIGO will be three times more sensitive in three years, and we roughly expect to see 10s of events per year," Bartos said.Advertisement
That sensitivity could get even higher soon. LIGO wants to build a third instrument, but in the meantime it will get help from Europe's new VIRGO detector (opening in late 2016) and Japan's KAGRA facility (going online in 2017).
"The more [detectors] you have, the better your sensitivity, and the more stuff you will see," Bartos said. "It becomes easier to weed out the things that happen here on Earth, like traffic and earthquakes" and find and pinpoint a signal.So the future for gravitational-wave astronomy is looking very bright - even if a detection isn't announced this week.Advertisement

A suspect and his alleged getaway driver have been charged with burglary after police found a bag of stolen jewelry in the trunk of the suspect's vehicle, according to court records.
James K. Stewart and Ray R. Gary, both of Chicago, were arrested Oct. 4 in connection with a burglary that caused more than $3,500 worth of damage to an Algonquin jewelry store.
Police believe Stewart shattered the glass front door and display cases at Gold and Jewelry Direct, 130 South Main St., then took off in Gary's car with a bag of stolen merchandise, court records show.
A manager who answered the business' phone Friday afternoon declined to comment and referred any questions to police.
Stewart and Gary, both 29, each are charged with criminal damage to property, theft of more than $500, burglary and possession of burglary tools. According to two separate criminal complaints, officers found the men in possession of a "window punch" and screwdriver suitable for breaking into a building.
The incident began at 4:41 a.m. Oct. 4, when Algonquin police were called to a possible burglary in progress. The caller reported hearing glass breaking and an alarm sounding near the jewelry business.
As police were on their way to the business, they spotted a blue Chevrolet Cobalt stopped at the intersection of Main and Washington streets in Algonquin.
It was unusual to see a car at such close proximity to the reported burglary that early in the morning, Algonquin Deputy Police Chief Ryan Markham said.
Officers stopped the vehicle in a nearby church parking lot, where the driver, Gary, told police he and Stewart were in the area "to meet up with women," records show.
The officer noted that Stewart was wearing red athletic shoes – the same pair that a masked suspect on surveillance video appeared to be wearing.
The video also showed the suspect carrying a JanSport backpack as he broke into the business' front door. Investigators said the same backpack was sitting on the passenger-side floorboard between Stewart's feet, records show.
Both men were arrested in connection with the burglary, and the vehicle was towed.
A police search of the Chevy Cobalt uncovered a camouflage sack filled with jewelry and display busts in the trunk.
Gary was released from the McHenry County Jail shortly after posting bond Thursday. Stewart remained at the jail on a $30,000 bond Friday.
The McHenry County Public Defender's Office was appointed to represent both men, who are due in court Nov. 1.

Business is no longer just about creating products and services that make money. Now, more than ever before, it's important for companies to put purpose at the heart of what they do.
We've made sure that purpose has been integral to the Virgin brand from the beginning. I started Student magazine at age 15 to give my generation a voice, and campaign on issues we cared passionately about, like ending the Vietnam War. This mission resonated far and wide, and we achieved great success with a number of high-profile names appearing in and supporting the magazine. With Virgin Records we took a chance on a variety of artists – many of which had been overlooked by other labels – because we believed that the world needed to hear their music. By staying true to our values and the artists that we signed, we were able to grow Virgin Records into the world's biggest independent record label.
As the Virgin Group has developed, and the world around has changed, our purpose has also evolved. Alongside having fun and supporting our people, we're very much focused on using business as a force for good. This purpose is most obvious in the work we do through our non-profit foundation, Virgin Unite – which works tirelessly to raise awareness about challenges like climate change and conservation, as well as empower thousands of people with opportunities to build a more positive future. Another organisation where our purpose is wonderfully evident is Virgin StartUp – our non-profit foundation that arms new UK businesses with the resources and support they need to fulfil their potential and create positive change in the world.
One great example of this is Change Please, a Virgin StartUp-funded and Big Issue-supported business, which sells sustainably-sourced coffee from mobile carts manned by homeless people. Proceeds from every coffee sold go towards helping that person and others in a similar position out of poverty. I had the pleasure of the company's founder, Cemal Ezel, on Necker Island at a recent Virgin Unite Disrupting for Good summit. He's a wonderful individual with an inspired vision – I hope more business leaders follow his lead.
The desire to make a positive difference is within most of us, but it can be daunting to set out to make an impact. Businesses have the power to make things easier for consumers. If we can help lift someone out of homelessness by buying a cup of coffee, imagine all the good that can be done when all companies place emphasis on purpose. Many customers want to buy from businesses that share similar values to their own, so more and more consumers are aligning themselves to impactful companies that sell social or environmentally-conscious products and services.
I particularly encourage start-ups to make a commitment to making a positive change in the world. Being a new business gives you the agility to really think about what's important to you. So choose your cause, and put your purpose at the forefront from the start. If you make it part of your story, both your business and the world will reap the rewards.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a slight obsession with Amazon. How could you NOT when it's so easy to find and order things with the app and have it show up on your doorstep two days later?! I work from home as a full-time blogger and my home office is basically all from Amazon (minus the desk from Ikea!)
So I thought I'd put together a list of some awesome Amazon finds for bloggers and entrepreneurs to help you get started! These are products that I use all the time (if not daily) and they've been such game-changers for my business.
Amazon Finds For Bloggers
1. Webcam
First on my list of Amazon finds for bloggers is a webcam! I use this Logitech webcam that I attach to the top of my computer. It's extremely high-quality (my laptop has the WORST webcam so I refuse to use it for anything because the image is just so grainy.)
I use this webcam whenever I have meetings, interviews, or just want to film a masterclass or tutorial.
2. Computer monitor & mouse
Next up on my list is my computer monitor and mouse. I'm big on graphic design and do a lot of design work for my clients. Having a larger screen and mouse is absolutely essential for me. I love being able to create my Pinterest pins with ease and seeing it enlarged vs. having to scroll or zoom in on my laptop.
I find that creating graphics and content on a laptop is more time-consuming. I work quickly when I use my monitor and mouse at my desk. Another big plus for having a monitor is that I can set it up as a second screen and have both my laptop and monitor on – I can multitask and have different tabs and programs open this way.
I also find it easy to take screenshots and film my screen for tutorials with a big monitor! My partner was able to set this up for me by connecting a monitor and keyboard directly into my laptop!
3. Microphone
So another fun Amazon find is this Blue Yeti microphone.
When I'm using my monitor, it's hard to record audio since I close up my laptop and set it aside. For super clear and crisp sound, I connect a microphone and use it together with my webcam. It's not 100% necessary for new bloggers to invest in a microphone but it's super helpful for those that want to improve their audio, film videos, have reliable tech for meetings or simply just want to start a YouTube channel!
4. Phone tripod
It's kind of a weird gadget but super useful. As bloggers, you know just how crucial it is to be active on social media. Plus, video is all the rage now with Instagram Stories, IGTV and live video. I got this handy little phone tripod to hold my phone so I can record and take pictures hands-free.
It comes with a button that you can use to take photos with! I use it mostly for filming my Instagram Stories!
5. Pens
Such a simple little thing but seriously pens make me so happy.
I'm really big on planning, to-do lists and basically putting everything to paper. So when I discovered these pens, they literally became my faves. I already have a huge pen collection but I just had to add them to my supply.
They're the Paper Mate Inkjoy pens. They come in super pretty colors and write so well. The ink doesn't bleed through paper with decent thickness. I also feel like my handwriting is nicer when I use them (anyone else have chicken scratch?)
Besides writing in my planner, as an entrepreneur, I sign documents, write checks, and tons of other things & I feel like these pens are really high-quality for doing just that.
Even though every single color is extremely beautiful and vibrant, my favorite pen is just the plain black one. It's just so darn satisfying to write with it!
6. File organizer
Okay, so this one isn't one of the more *fun* Amazon finds for bloggers on my list. But it's essential that I mention this one. You should definitely have a file organizer.
In my first year of business, I made the colossal mistake of not keeping records of important documents or filing them away. I basically had no system in place and was quite disorganized. And because of that, it came back to bite me when it was time to pay taxes. Ouch.
Do not make this mistake, trust me!! Get a filing system or even a place on your computer to keep everything (make sure to back up the information regularly!) Keep every single receipt, invoice, or contract because you might need it again later.
7. You Are A Badass
Did you know how much of a badass you are? If not, now you do! Seriously though, You Are A Badass is one of the very first books I read when I started my entrepreneurial journey. It was the exact kind of kick in the pants I needed to rise up and say "heck yeah, I can be my own boss!"
If you're struggling with confidence, mindset, and just plain old imposter syndrome where you feel like you're not a pro or you'll never have your dream life — this book is for you. Jen Sincero has written a complete series for You Are A Badass and trust me, you'll want to read all of them. They are so worth it and will leave you feeling ready to take on the world.
Entrepreneurship is a hard and lonely journey. Personal development books like this one have changed my life!
*BONUS* 8. The Content Planner
So The Content Planner *isn't* on the list of Amazon finds for bloggers because it's actually not available on Amazon. But I did want to mention it because I couldn't survive without it!
The Content Planner is a physical planner made specifically for content creators and those in social media marketing. It is literally perfect for my business and I feel like it's the only one of it's kind to help bloggers and entrepreneurs organize and plan their content.
With this planner, you can plan out your months, track your goals, keep track of your collaborations, and so much more. It's also a bigger planner which I love! It's much easier to write it and brainstorm ideas but also not too big that you can't travel with it. I keep it on my desk and use it every day. It helps keep me on track and stick to a plan at all times. I highly recommend it!

|Our small & experienced team has talked with hundreds of cemeteries and understands the unique complexities of cemetery record keeping.

Serve families with ease by pointing them to your public gravesite lookup.
"We use Cemify's product for both of our cemeteries, Mount Hope Memorial Park and Gavilan Hills Memorial Park.
Being that our cemetery office is not located on grounds, we used to field a large volume of calls from families simply looking for the grave location of their family member. The over the phone explanation process was ineffective and time consuming. With the "Grave Locator" system that Cemify has set up for us, it saves ourselves, and the families, that unnecessary trouble. Families can visit the websites Cemify created for us from a computer, or a mobile device, and search for their loved ones grave location with near pinpoint accuracy. Myself, as well as the rest of my coworkers, would recommend Cemify whole heartedly."
Mt. Hope Cemetery - Morgan Hill, CA
"I spent several months researching cemetery management software companies and programs. Some of the less expensive programs offered very little support and were mainly for desktop use only. The web-based programs are all very good and offered many features, however, I found them pricy for a small cemetery of less than 4 acres.
Cemify is a new cloud-based Cemetery Management System and has been an answer to my prayers! I could not be happier. Cemify is much less expensive than most other companies and still provides the most important features needed to maintain accurate records for our cemeteries. Being cloud-based allows us to view our cemeteries records and maps from any electronic device.
Cemify can create a digital map of your cemetery which is linked to your records. There are no add-on or hidden costs. Jason, the creator and owner of Cemify, has been extremely helpful and accessible by phone, text and email. He has been more than willingly to answer my questions and to adapt his program to provide the information I wanted to have access to.
We couldn't be any more pleased with the product, or the process that lead up to its launch. I highly recommend Cemify to any cemetery that wants to computerize its records and maps."

Opening Quote: ""Well, well," said he, as he stroked his hair down on his head. "Who would have thought it?"" – Hans in Luck
Part 1: "A Sore Subject"
Monroe: [He tries to tune the zither, but it plays out of tune] All right, wait. Ah, it should be... [the zither continues playing out of tune]
[Rosalee walks over and uses a tuning wrench on the zither, which makes it play in tune]
Monroe: Look at you!
[Bud comes into the shop]
Monroe: [He chuckles] Who knew? That's impressive!
Rosalee: [To Bud] Hi. Can I help you?
Bud: Yeah, yeah. Uh... [He clears his throat] Hi. Hi, you must be Rosalee?
Rosalee: Yes. [She shakes Bud's hand]
Bud: And you must be Monroe. [He shakes Monroe's hand]
Monroe: And you are?
Bud: [Chuckling] Ah! I'm sorry. Bud. Bud Wurstner. Nick, my buddy Nick, you know, the Grimm, said you might be able to help me out with a problem that I have. Not that I have... uh, it's a problem that my friend has. See, my friend is having some hair loss issues, and he asked me to help out. So, I asked Nick if he knew anyone I could talk to, and he recommended that I talk to you. So now I'm here, talking to you.
Monroe: Why doesn't your, uh, "friend" just come in himself. Or, herself. [Looking at Rosalee] What? I'm sorry. You know what, you're right. It's none of my business.
Bud: No, no, no. It's okay. It's just... it's sort of a sore subject, because of, well... [He woges]
Monroe: Ah!
[Bud retracts]
Rosalee: Is your friend experiencing hair loss all over?
Bud: No, no, no. Just around the head. Strictly the head.
Rosalee: I think I can put something together for you. Can I give it to you later today?
Bud: Really?
Rosalee: Mmm-hmm.
Bud: That's great! That's great! Thank you! Thank you so much! [He laughs and leaves the shop]
Monroe: Poor guy. I have never even heard of a bald Eisbiber. I mean, imagine the implications. [He sighs] Anyway, how can I help?
[Rosalee sighs]
Monroe: What? No? Come on! I can light the burner!
Part 2: "A Helping Hand"
Rosalee: Hello. [She tosses a fruit-like ingredient to Monroe]
Monroe: Whoa!
Rosalee: Cut that in half, please.
[Monroe cuts the object in half and examines and smells it as Rosalee searches for another ingredient] Rosalee: [Squeezing by Monroe to get to the beaker] Excuse me. [Pointing in front of Monroe] That right there, is the Lamfosloish. Crush one clove into a powder, and then you can add it to the beaker. [She adds ingredients to the beaker] Ooh-ee! It's the primary base agent in hair regeneration, so, a little goes a long way. So one clove is plenty. [She leaves the room]
Monroe: [He grabs a second clove to crush] Primary base agent. Never heard a man complain about too much hair. [He puts the second clove with the first one and crushes them both into powder as he hums]
Part 3: "Friendly Neighborhood Eisbiber"
Monroe: Try... this one.
[Rosalee takes a bite]
Monroe: Any idea?
Rosalee: Mmm-mmm.
Monroe: It's actually seaweed-dandelion.
Rosalee: Mmm! Mmm! [She takes a drink of coffee]
Monroe: Right?
Rosalee: Mmm-hmm.
Monroe: Um, yeah. You have to try this one next.
Bud: [He comes into the shop with extra hair on his head] Oh, hey, you two. Uh, this is from my friend. [Referencing the basket he is holding] Well, technically my friend's wife. It's, uh, huckleberry. [He hands the basket to Monroe] He's already a little thicker up there. [He points to his head] And he wanted me to stop by and let you know how happy he is.
Rosalee: Well, please tell your friend that he is very welcome.
Bud: I will, I will. Thanks.
Monroe: Hey! Did, um... did you... a little... with the... [Referencing Bud's hair]
Bud: Oh! Uh, well, I tried just a little bit. You know, for my friend's sake. He was a little nervous, because he's not used to, exactly, experimenting with, you know, strange remedies. Not that I am! And, not that your remedies are strange! Oh boy, that came out bad. I didn't mean for it to come out the way it did. I'm sorry.
Rosalee: But I'm not the least bit offended.
Bud: Ah! Good, good, good. Thanks. Thanks. Uh, well, see ya. Thanks again. [He leaves]
Monroe: What? Come on, I had to say something. I mean...
[Rosalee laughs and Monroe sighs]
Monroe: Okay, um... here, you never tried this one!
Rosalee: Let's try the pie!
Monroe: Really?
Rosalee: Yeah.
Monroe: Well, there's, like, five left!
Rosalee: It's okay.
Monroe: I mean, you don't wanna try this spirulina and raspberry—
Rosalee: No, I'm good.
Monroe: Okay.
Rosalee: I'm good, thanks.
Monroe: It's just plain old huckleberry. I mean, this is goji bean and rice leaf.
Part 4: "Late Night Crisis"
Monroe: So you say this is for a Scharfblicke?
Rosalee: Mmm-hmm.
Monroe: I knew a Scharfblicke once in grade school. He didn't talk much. I think he was self-conscious about the... the... beak... thing.
Rosalee: Mmm
[There is knocking at the door]
Monroe: [He peeks out through the door window] Oh, boy.
Rosalee: What?
Monroe: Um, It's Bud.
Rosalee: The Eisbiber?
Monroe: Mmm-hmm.
Rosalee: Well, let him in.
Monroe: Mmm, okay. [He opens the door]
Bud: Oh, thank God. You gotta help me. I don't know what to do! All of a sudden it just went... [He buzzes as he references his severe hair growth] I tried cutting it, and it just grows back quicker and thicker!
Rosalee: Bud... I am so sorry. I have know idea how this happened.
[Bud groans]
Rosalee: Just wait. [She leaves the room for a few seconds]
Bud: Well if you think this is bad, you should see my friend! We gotta help him, it's a lot worse!
Monroe: Look, Buddy, you can drop the whole imaginary friend act, okay? We're not going to tell anyone. Right now, we just gotta focus on helping you.
Bud: Imaginary? [He walks towards the door]
Monroe: Where are you going?
Bud: [He gets his friend, John Oblinger, from outside and brings him into the shop] This guy look imaginary to you, pal? Huh?
Rosalee: It's okay. Hang tight, everybody. We're going to figure this out. [She flips through a book]
[Later, Monroe and Rosalee apply a treatment to Bud and John's heads]
Rosalee: With this treatment, your haircut should last six weeks, not six hours. And Bud, we're really sorry we ever doubted you about your friend.
Bud: Oh, that's okay.
Monroe: And... Oblinger... [He stammers]
Rosalee: We're really sorry we put you through this, and if there's any way we can make it up to you, please don't hesitate to ask.
Monroe: What she said.
John: Well... I have this friend... [He looks over at Bud]
[Monroe and Rosalee look at each other, and Monroe sighs]

What diet is the best for growing, maintaining, and toning muscle?
Vegan,veganism,pastafarian,or omnivore? I've asked a similar question yesterday asking which diet is the best and the most common response is that it depends on my lifestyle and it depends on what I think. Well In terms of my lifestyle I don't and don't plan on smoking, I've never drank alcohol and I doubt I'll drink much because Fizzy drinks hurt my tongue. So the end result of my body and the maintenance of it purely comes down to its diet at this point.

Protein plays an essential role in the growth and repair of everything from skin to hair to nails and also muscles.
Along with a proper regular workout and an ideal carbohydrates intake, high protein diet is one of the prime requirements for muscle to be built and maintained.
Protein foods are supposed to be consumed at certain perfect time in order to play an important role in the building or maintaining of muscle tissue as well as the entire workout recovery process.
During any kind of weightlifting in gym or strength gaining workouts, our muscles gets broken down which is required to be built again, which is done only by proteins. Thus without a high protein diet, muscle growth, muscle maintenance, and its rejuvenation is not possible.
Weight Loss
People always dream to "lose weight," but weight gain could be due to many factors. In true sense, we all want to lose fat, not our muscles. And a good study has been done on it which reveals that eating a high protein diet is the main dietary factor in preserving our lean muscle and side by side losing body fat also. As we know a sufficient protein intake is required for maintaining muscle and now responsible for losing weight also. The reason being high protein foods are the most filling foods and helps in keeping our hunger under control.
Besides protein serving the most filling, it is also the nutrient that burns the most calories of our body, as we know for digestion calories are required to be burnt. Proteins burn significantly more than anything else.
People always link proteins with building muscle, but as one can clearly see, it is equally important for weight loss also.
High Protein Foods
So, there is a list of some of the best sources of protein:
Vegetarian foods
Supplements (powders, shakes, bars, etc.)
Non-vegetarian food
Eggs & Egg Whites
There are many other high protein foods also, but the above mentioned are the most common. One can choose their favorites.
How much to take Per Day?
The next question undoubtedly is how much protein one needs to eat per day, to be considered a high protein diet.
All advice tend to vary, but in most cases, between 0.8-1.3 gm of protein per 400gms of body weight is the ideal range, with an even 1 gram per pound almost certainly being the most common recommendation of all for healthy adults looking to build muscle or lose fat.
Well, the fact is that it is really not that hard at all. In fact, many people can reach their ideal intake just fine by only eating typical high protein foods like chicken, eggs, meat and the others listed above. However, there is a way to make it easier by using protein supplements…
Protein Supplements
The most popular supplements in the market are protein shakes, powder, and bars. These protein supplements are not doing anything magical to build muscle or cause weight loss or do anything else which high-quality food sources could not do. However, only there advantage is that they are quicker, easier and more convenient.
Analyze it yourself. Drinking an average shake with 1 scoop of protein powder will give protein between 15-30 grams depending on the specific brand. There's neither cooking nor any preparation. Just take a spoonful, add a liquid, and drink. This takes only a minute. Most bars also contain about 15-30g per serving and are similar to a candy bar in size (can be carried easily) and sometimes yummy to taste.
So, if one is on a high protein diet and looking for high protein foods then can substitute fresh foods to supplements, which are perfect quick, easy, convenient and often an extremely tasty way to ensure one reaches the ideal intake on a daily basis.
Knowing which supplements is the best, one can have a look into the description given below.
Powder: Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey
It is of high quality as it mixes with just a spoon in seconds, and tastes awesome. Some of the flavors literally feel like you're drinking chocolate. It's easily available and almost always the best selling protein powder around.
Bars: Quest Protein Bars
Imagine if a chocolate bar was high in protein, and one has an idea of what this bar tastes like (awesome), then things become easier and one will consume it happily. It's also low in calories and carbs in contrast to other bars.
Best Times of the Day to Consume
Ideally, if one is serious and looking for the proper workouts then daily intake is essential to work properly on your body. The most important reason for a high protein diet is also that at some times of the day when it would be extra beneficial to eat high protein foods.
Proper timings for the protein diet
Should be the first meal of the day (since you haven't eaten for hours).
Consume at night before bed (so there's protein in you overnight when your body is repairing/recovering).
In the meal, one should eat before workout (ones "pre-workout meal").
In the meal, one should eat immediately after the workout (ones "post-workout meal").
Ones pre and post-workout meals are absolutely the most important.

Any as long as you get enough protein. Am omnivorous diet is going to be easiest since there are easy ways to get plenty of protein. You can be vegan or vegetarian but vegans often rely on protein powder to meet their needs.
I'm not sure about pastafarian though lol.
- Anonymous8 months ago
As long as you don't have a schedule that requires a lot of energy I think veganism is the best. The food is made for your body (not the meat)
- KerriLv 48 months ago
Any diet that's relatively healthy and high in protein will be beneficial when combined with exercise that is targeted towards building muscle (weight lifting). High protein content can be consumed with even a vegan diet. Protein content of any food can easily be found on internet.

It's very plain by looking at the teeth that are in your mouth that you're not made to be vegan nor are you made to be totally carnivore. The teeth that are in our mouths plainly show that we are omnivore. It will take a million years of evolution to cause the human teeth to become suited to just eat vegetable material the same thing holds true for the rest of our digestive system yes we could force it on our bodies. But we are going against what a million years of evolution have suited our bodies for.

Getting the right nutrition will help with leanness, but will not in it self increase muscularity. A balanced meal plan will provide adequate nutrition. Include a cruciferous vegetable (brussels sprout, spinach, broccoli); a high protein source (meat, eggs, nuts); A high carb source (grains, corn, potato, fruit); and a fat source if the protein source doesn't include enough fat (butter, olives, avocado).

No diet will do that. Lift weights and eat what your brain craves.

i would just try those diets and see and then you'll know

It is 100 lb/150 g/m vellum paper that appears to take pen, pencil, ink and watercolour washes without difficulty. It is a strong ivory colour and pleasant on the eye after adding line. The sketchbook contains 62 sheets/124 pages. It appears both sides of the paper can be used without much bleed through or reveal.

I like the feel of the book, the paper and even the size, but this small version does not lay flat as you an see from the photo above. I understand that the larger versions do.
The US based company has four other lines: Alpha, Beta, Delta and Epsilon, each with different paper.
I hope to test drive my paper samples in the coming days and report back on their response to my usual media.
These sketchbooks are available at Utrecht and Wet Paint; Stillman and Birn have a good looking web site describing their origin and their papers.

Making family-based New Year's Resolutions can be a fun way to introduce new routines and hobbies into your everyday family life. By setting realistic goals, you can teach your kids how to work towards things that they would like to achieve for themselves and how to commit to something that is important to them. Supporting and being supported by your family members in achieving your goals or resolutions is also a great way to stick to keeping up your new routines and a way to bond over shared interests if you are all excited and invested in working towards your new aims.
Every family works differently, so your goals should be unique to how you all would like to spend your time or work towards things together. Here are some ideas we have for New Year's Resolutions as a family:
Taking Walks Together
Taking walks is a great way to exercise, spend quality time and explore your community together. When you are walking, you are spending more time talking and less time on your screens. This allows for both some fresh air and bonding. If you have a day where you can all enjoy this together, it could be a great resolution to try and keep up.
Eating Meals Together
With unconventional work weeks and schedules, it can be hard to find time to all sit down together. Setting aside even one day a week where you eat a meal with your family can be such an important part of your day where everyone can unwind and catch up on things that are harder to do in passing. Even if you consider these moments a luxury, it can mean so much to your family in the long run.
Reading Times
Whether your children enjoy story books or are re-reading Harry Potter for the 5th time, having an allotted reading time together, quietly or out- loud, is a special and unique way to settle down and be together throughout the hectic work week.
Going To Bed On Time
While going to bed on time can sometimes seem like an impossible mission, it can be such a healthy way to make sure that everyone is getting enough sleep and that no one is overworking themselves.
Arts and Crafts Day
Everyone loves to exercise their creativity! Creating things with your family whether that be cooking, painting, writing short stories or even taking photographs of one another is a way to learn more about each other in ways that words sometimes cannot tell you. Try setting aside time to create things together with the whole family!
Clean-Up Days
Finding the time to make sure your space is clean and organised can be an overwhelming task. If you have weekly family clean-up days or times, this can make it all much easier. You can do this little by little so that no one feels overtaxed, but it can be a good way for everyone to do their part around your space and be together.
Unplug Devices
Unplugging devices, whether it be for an entire day or past a certain hour in the evening can be a good way to make sure that everyone is communicating face-to-face. You can replace these times with any of the ideas above, or just spend it chatting to one another about how your day went.
Ringing in the New Year is always an exciting time to see change and new perspective. If you can do this in a healthy and positive way with your family, it could become a year where you all become closer to one another and learn more about the goals you have for yourself and resolutions you would like to set.

How To Reduce Pre-joining Attrition
How To Reduce Pre-joining Attrition
The literal meaning of attrition means the process of reducing something's effect by an intended attack or pressure. It can be an internal problem within any system or it can be affected by an outside force. Attrition in business refers to the gradual but intentional reduction in staff members of a particular company as employees retire or resign. Also, they are not ever replaced.
Early attrition can be explained as the rival of talent development or skillful learning. It is the process of removal of company employees deliberately before their given retirement age or resigning plan. It shortens the longevity of tenure and skills.
Main Reasons For Early Attrition
- Culture
There has been a culture of hiring young minds and ignoring old ones in the corporate sector in the past two decades. Companies are removing employees without notice or any firm explanation.
- Expectations Mismatch
There has been always an expectation mismatch between the company and the employee but it has taken a rapid increase in the past few years. This leads to many misunderstandings and inner conflict.
- False promises
False promises are done by both employer and employee which results in poor professional relationships among them and thus also leads to early attrition.
- Poor treatment
Many companies treat their employees poorly, which is a very bad thing. Also, some employees show negligence towards their jobs which hinders their work quality.
- Incomplete training
Many of the times, due to incomplete training during the training period of the employee, early attrition can happen.
It is observed that recruiters recruit tactically and not strategically. They give real-time situations to budding employers so that they will understand the situations when one is in his/her workplace.
It is high time that early attrition has to be stopped or curbed. Otherwise, the corporate sector will have to face many problems in maintaining a good skillful approach towards work and various projects.
There are many ways which can be used to minimize or remove the early attrition
1- Optimizing recruiting and hiring
Many companies have a poor recruiting system. They can optimize and improve their recruiting system by discussing and following a proper process to hire employees.
2- Enhancing training programs
The training programs must be enhanced so that the employees know the work culture and thus don't have a mismatch of expectations which will improve the mutual understanding between both sides. Also, the training period must be mentioned so that there occurs no confusion while training and hiring.
3- Introducing reward programs
Reward programs help to get a great boom in work as it motivates the workers to work more and work harder and also be an inspiration of aspiring employees. Regular reward programs will result in great outputs in the company and thus will help the company to reach new heights.
4- Introducing the culture of coaching
The culture of coaching is a thing that should be promoted more and more to get good results in the corporate industry. It is high time that all firms, as well as aspirants, realize that without proper coaching and information, it is not possible to deliver the desired results.
5- Offering promotions
Offering promotions and raises to the employees boost up their morale by giving them a reason to work hard and provides a good reputation and goodwill to the company. It not only creates a good impression but also creates a positive environment in the office.
6- Improvement in work conditions
Work conditions must be improved. It is high time that the employers must realize that they cannot bound or rule any of their workers. There must be a friendly yet workaholic environment to deliver good results in the office.
7- Provide Excellent software and tools
It is of utmost urgency that companies should be updated to the latest versions of software and tools to reduce time, give optimized results and make the process of work easier than before.
8- Provide skill development programs
Skill and quality development programs must be run by the companies to improve the skills of working employees and to introduce them to new technologies and prospects of development of the company as well as their own career. It will not only be helpful in making the office an eventful place but also help in the quality learning of workers and aspirants.
The X and Y theories of human work motivation and management must be kept in mind while dealing with employees which says, it is human nature that one tends to get away from work as humans are born with these kinds of traits (X theory) while the other one states that humans are willing to work and motivated to get success in life by working harder and harder.
So to reduce pre-joining attrition one must keep in mind these theories and some procedures to be successful and reduce the rate of attrition in companies.

Immigration laws that have now been effective for nearly 7 years require certain non-immigrant visa applications to be accompanied by an immigration business plan. This valuable document is now becoming a necessity in many countries, and as such, you must get one if you really need to visit the country.
Why is this document so important?
An immigration business plan tells the immigration officials whether you will make a positive or negative contribution to the community. It's filtering mechanism to avoid non-visionary individuals from crossing over to their country. This document should demonstrate your understanding of the community, local market, with recent industrial data.
The difference between traditional and Visa Business Plan
A visabusiness plan is different to a traditional plan that you might create for a startup business or one that is looking to get a loan from a bank or an SBA program. There are certain components in a traditional plan that you would not need to include in an immigration business plan and vice versa.
Immigration business plans need to be more focused on the particular components your non-immigrant visa requires, which will be different depending on whether you are filing for an E2, L1, or EB5 business plan.
The common theme across each of the aforementioned visa categories is that employment of native workers is an important aspect to highlight and detail. In a traditional business plan you would detail current and future staffing levels, but really only in summary format, whereas for E2 or L1 Visa Business Plan, you will need to be more detailed with personnel tables and specific titles and bullet point job descriptions of current and future employees.
Likewise, the person writinga business Plan for E2 Visawould need to include their specific and detailed job description, and show how they are going to manage other managers and staff in an effort to operate and expand the local enterprise.
Duration of visa business plans
Not all traditional business plans require five-year financial projections, in some cases, three years is sufficient enough. However,for a visa business plan, you need to provide a five-year projection that includes balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and cash flow forecasts.
You will need to show the source of the funds to start up and support the business, and if necessary indicate where additional injections of capital may be necessary in the future. This often applies to more seasonal businesses where a higher percentage of their income is derived during certain months of the year.
Wrapping it all up
In summary, Immigration Services are looking for non-immigrant visa applicants to demonstrate to them that the business or franchise they are starting up or purchasing in the new country will be viable, and have the ability to be successful and employ native workers. They want to know that you have done your homework and that the business stands the best chance of success through careful planning. Visit: http://jdcconsultancy.com/
