Code of Ethics
Version: January 01, 2020
Our "Code of Ethics" is publicly available, including the previous versions.
QWorld is a global network of individuals, groups, and communities collaborating on education and implementation of quantum technologies and research activities.
QWorld aims to popularize quantum technologies and quantum software and to involve more people in the field by working publicly and/or academically and locally and/or internationally.
Additional ethical values, principles or ideals: A QWorld channel or group may define more ethical values, principles or ideals as long as they do not contradict the existing ones. Similarly, if requested by the collaborations, more ethical values, principles or ideals may be defined as long as they do not contradict the existing ones.
- Any such addition must be publicly available on the website of QWorld channel or group or the website of the event or project.
- For any possible conflict, the opinion of the Ethics Committee of QWorld should be asked.
1. Be inclusive.
We welcome and support people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, social and economic class, educational level, color, immigration status, sex, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
2. Be considerate.
We all depend on each other to produce the best work we can as QWorld. Your decisions will affect participants, collaborators, supporters, and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions.
3. Be respectful.
We won't all agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for disrespectful behavior. We will all experience frustration from time to time, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into personal attacks. An environment where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive or creative one.
4. Choose your words carefully.
Always conduct yourself professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down others. Harassment (click for more details) and exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable.
5. Don't harass.
In general, if someone asks you to stop something, then stop. When we disagree, try to understand why. Differences of opinion and disagreements are mostly unavoidable. What is important is that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively.
6. Make differences into strengths.
We can find strength in diversity. Different people have different perspectives on issues, and that can be valuable for solving problems or generating new ideas. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. Don't forget that we all make mistakes, and blaming each other doesn't get us anywhere.
Instead, focus on resolving issues and learning from mistakes.

Code of Conduct
Version: January 01, 2020
Our "Code of Conduct" is publicly available including the previous versions.
Additional rules and regulations may be defined by each QWorld channel, QWorld group or for a specific event or project.
- In case of a conflict with the code of conduct, with the approval of the Ethics Committee of QWorld, the proposed rule or regulation may be accepted by providing a public explanation.
- In any other case, some or all additional rules or regulations may not be publically available.
The QWorld community is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience to all participants of activities, events, and projects organized by QWorld, members of the QWorld community, and all the people associated with the conducted activities regardless of gender, gender identity, and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion.
This code of conduct applies to all activity spaces managed by QWorld, including our website, blog, Slack workspace, twitter page, Facebook page, events, projects, training, and conferences organized (co-organized or supported) by QWorld, and any communication in the QWorld community (online and offline).
Anyone who violates this Code of Conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from the community of QWorld at the discretion of The Ethics Committee of QWorld. Members of QWorld are responsible for knowing and abiding by code of conduct rules.
Communication among QWorld members, collaborators, and participants
Every member of QWorld should work to create a welcoming, friendly, harassment-free, and respectful environment during the events/projects. All members of QWorld should:
– maintain a safe, responsible, and calm behavior;
– be on time at the events and meetings, both online and offline;
– prepare all materials needed for events;
– respect our hosts and event participants;
– dress according to QWorld's rules.
We recommend QWorld members to include all relevant people to any communication to make the communication more formal.
The default communication channel among QWorld members (besides face-to-face meetings) is email and QWorld's Slack workspace. Remember that any message in our Slack workspace cannot be deleted and no modification can be made after 1 minute.
The default communication channel among QWorld members and collaborators (besides face-to-face meetings) is email and video conference.
The default communication channel between the participants and the members of QWorld and its collaborators (besides meeting during the event/project) is email.
- For any generic announcement, each participant's email must be hidden by putting it in BCC and the emails of all relevant organizers should be put in CC.
- For a communication specifically addressed to a group of participants, at least one relevant person from QWorld and at least one relevant person from the collaborator side (if any) must be added in CC.
If the communication by video conference is allowed and defined under a project/event, then each participant has the right to record the meeting but he or she must inform the other party and also share the recorded video with the other party after the conversation.
Any video recording of an online meeting by a member of QWorld or a collaborator related to a QWorld event/project should be defined under the event/project webpage and the other party should be informed and the record should be shared with the other party after the recording.
Contact info (e.g., phone number, home address, social media accounts) of any participant may not be asked by any member of QWorld for a purpose not related to QWorld's aims or activities. On the other hand, any member of QWorld or a collaborator may share his or her contact info with a participant who is not a minor, upon request by the participant.
Any connection request through social media or similar channel from any minor participant may not be accepted by any member of QWorld or a collaborator, excluding the cases when the minors are known in the personal network.
Minors (under 18 years of age)
QWorld members and collaborators must make every effort to protect the rights of minors participating QWorld events and projects.
All private relationships, private communications (including social media channels), or sexual contacts with minor participants are prohibited for QWorld's members and collaborators.
All rules of this Code of Conduct apply to communication with minors, and in addition, participation in the events/projects of minors should take place according to the following principles:
- Communication with minors should take place only through general communication channels (excluding all private channels), and the only exceptions are defined below
- for any minor participating in our activities, participation consent signed by a legal guardian is required
- the form for consent should contain basic data about the event, time and place of the event, details of the institution conducting the event and contact details of the person/people responsible for organizing the event
- the form should be both in English and official language of the place where the event/project is held
- the form for consent to participate in workshops should be available for download on the website of the event/project and on the application form
- the form for consent should include consent to use of photos and materials obtained during the workshop, e.g., photos from workshops used to promote the event on social media channels and the website of QWorld
- the form for consent should include consent to use the name, surname and email of the minor by QWorld for contacting the minor by using email regarding QWorld related events, projects, news, and similar activities
- some example forms can be accessed from this link
In case of working with a minor or a group of minors individually for a scientific or pedagogical purpose:
- the default communication channel is email;
- for each minor, a legal guardian or an administrator from the minor's school must be included in all email communications;
- any online or offline meeting must be arranged through a communication described in the above item and each legal guardian must be informed about the meeting(s);
- any meeting should be held in an educational institute, preferable in public space or in an office by keeping the door open.
Organizing an event or project
Any collaborator of the event or project is asked to accept the code of ethics and the code of conduct. Otherwise, the collaboration should not be established.
The collaborators (if any) should be explicitly and publicly written.
The following should be explicitly written on the project or event web page and on any related document:
- a link to this document
- a specific code of conduct for the event/project (some examples are given at the end of this document)
- the communication channel(s)
- each member of QWorld taking a role/title/responsibility in the event or project
- the venue(s) and exact times/dates
The event/project-specific code of conduct should be placed at the top of the application form in a concise form.
The permission for taking photos or recording movies during the event and then using them in QWorld's social media, news, newsletters, or similar places should be asked in the application form. The same permission can also be asked from QWorld's organizer group or channel.
The permission for storing and processing personal data (name, surname, email, gender, school/university, faculty/department, grade/level, company, and opinions about QWorld's activities) by QWorld and QWorld's partners (with permission of QWorld) should be asked in the application form.
If minor applicants are not eligible to participate in the event, then it should be explicitly stated and each applicant should confirm that he or she is over 18 in the application form.
If minor applicants are eligible to participate in the event, each applicant should state whether he or she is younger than 18 years old or not and if the applicant is younger than 18 years old, then it should be explicitly stated that a consent for participation signed by a legal guardian is required. The participant should confirm that he or she will send the photo of the signed consent to the specified email address and then bring the original copy to the event if he or she is accepted to the event.
Personal information shared by a participant
Personal information shared by any participant cannot be used for any purpose not related to QWorld's aim or activities.
More information will be given in the privacy policy of QWorld.
Code of Conduct in social media channels
Social media channels are one of the most popular ways of communicating with participants today. We created our social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Slack) to disseminating knowledge about the activities of QWorld, supporting our marketing activities, and foster online communities of QWorld, where people can share ideas and get inspired. All rules of this Code of Conduct apply to communication via social media channels, and in addition, all members of QWorld and our collaborators should remember:
- abuse of intellectual property rights, including copyright, is forbidden
- publication of data containing sensitive personal information of QWorld members, participants, or anyone else is forbidden
- the Ethics Committee of QWorld or moderators or coordinators can remove any content or comments that are offensive, have signs of harassment or are spam
- Law-breaking attitudes and any behavior encouraging others to break the laws, regulations or rules (including those of any social media channel) are forbidden
- show respect for all members of QWorld online community
- photos and recordings taken during a QWorld event can be published only with the permission of the participants. When using photos from the internet, use photos with one of the two licenses:
a) CC BY – the photos can be used by indicating the author
b) CC0 – the photos can be freely used without having to acknowledge the authorship
- without the knowledge about the status of the photos (licenses) – do not use it
QWorld reserves the rights to ban from our social media channels any person who violates our Code of Ethics or Code of Conduct. When you encounter a question/comment that is not appropriate to share on the public social media channel, please send us a direct message or email: public-relation [at] qworld.lu.lv
Code of Conducts for specific domains
Code of Conduct for QWorld's Slack workspace
Version: January 01, 2020
QWorld's Slack workspace is a channel that allows simple and friendly communications of QWorld's members and anyone interested in quantum related scientific topics or computation or software or technologies or QWorld's activities.
The QWorld's Slack channel aims at creating a community for discussion about quantum software and quantum technologies. Any conversation, public or private, not related to the topic may be removed. In particular, it includes any form of advertisement, political or religious discussion, etc.
A primary goal of QWorld is to be inclusive to the largest number of participants, with the most varied and diverse backgrounds possible. As such, we are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion (or lack thereof).
This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it's intended – a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate.
This Code of Conduct outlines our expectations for all those who participate in our Slack community, as well as the consequences for unacceptable behavior.
We invite all those who participate in QWorld activities to help us create a safe and positive experience for everyone.
Creating a Welcoming and Inclusive Culture
Communities mirror the societies in which they exist and positive action is essential to counteract the many forms of inequality and abuses of power that exist in society.
If you see someone who is making an extra effort to ensure our community is welcoming, friendly, and encourages all participants to contribute to the fullest extent, please recognize their efforts.
Expected Behavior
The following behaviors are expected and requested of all community members:
- Be friendly and patient.
- Be welcoming. We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, color, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
- Be considerate. Your work can be used by other people, and you, in turn, will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions. Remember that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in someone else's primary language.
- Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Creative Commons community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with people outside the QWorld community.
- Be careful in the words that you choose. We are a community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
- violent threats or language directed against another person;
- discriminatory jokes and language;
- posting sexually explicit or violent material;
- posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying information ("doxing");
- personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms;
- unwelcome sexual attention;
- advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior;
- repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop.
- When we disagree, try to understand why. Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and QWorld is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we're different. The strength of QWorld comes from its varied community, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. Don't forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn't get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
- Moderators and Coordinators reserve the right to delete excessive self-promotional or commercial posts.
- Content that has been identified as objectionable, inappropriate, or off-topic will be subject to deletion by channel moderators. Posters will receive a warning and risk being blocked from the channel if unacceptable behavior persists.
These decisions are made by QWorld in its sole discretion.
Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior
Unacceptable behavior from any community member, including staff and those with decision-making authority, will not be tolerated.
Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately.
If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, we may take any action deemed appropriate, up to and including a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community without warning.
Reporting Guidelines
If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns, please notify us as soon as possible by emailing the coordinator or pinging a QWorld staff member on Slack. You may also directly contact the Ethics Committee of QWord.
All complaints will be investigated and appropriate steps will be taken to keep the Slack community safe and friendly, which may include contacting the person responsible for improper content if necessary. All coordinators and other involved folks will maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident, however, for our purposes we require proof of unwelcome behavior especially for private communication.
To discuss a decision, contact the coordinator or the Ethics Committee of QWord and we will review your question.
Incident Response
If the coordinator agrees that the message violates the Code of Conduct, the message is deleted with an appropriate comment. In case of regular or serious breaking of Code of Conduct, the coordinator is allowed to deactivate the account. Please be aware that violating the QWorld Slack Code of Conduct implies violating the QWorld Code of Conduct, hence additional steps may be taken resulting from the latter Code of Conduct.
The QWorld is allowed to modify this Code of Conduct. The coordinator(s) of Slack is (are) responsible for informing the Slack community by posting an appropriate comment on the #general channel and providing the link to modified file.

Code of Conduct for events (workshops, conferences, hackathons, schools, and similar events)
Version: January 01, 2020
This document should be adopted for each specific event by explicitly identifying the event organizers who will be in charge of dealing with any code of conduct issue.
This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you should respect or can't do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it's intended – a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate. [1]
All attendees, participants, mentors, educators, speakers, organizers, sponsors, and volunteers at our events are required to agree with the following Code of Conduct. Organisers will enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.
The Quick Version
Our event is dedicated to providing a harassment-free workshop/conference/hackathon experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event.
We respect the minors (children under age 18) and we must make every effort to protect their rights. All private relationships, private communications (including social media channels), or sexual contacts with minors are prohibited.
The contact info of any attendee or participant cannot be requested by any mentor, educator, speaker, organizer, sponsor, or volunteer.
The Less Quick Version
These behaviors (included but not limited) are prohibited during the event and its related activities:
- any behavior endangering the health or safety of other participants of workshops
- assaulting, harassing, intimidating, or threatening another participant of workshops
- Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention
- stealing, misusing, destroying or damaging property belonging to the event organizers or the participants
- supplying false information in the recruitment process for the event (including false parental consent)
- any behavior that disrupts or interferes with the learning experience, including
- using offensive language or personal attacks
- possessing or using every kind of weapons, explosives (including fireworks) or toxic or otherwise dangerous materials
- participation in the event under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other stimulants
Participants asked to stop any harassing or prohibited behavior are expected to comply immediately.
Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualised images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualised clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualised environment.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the event organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the event staff immediately. Event staff can be identified as they'll be wearing branded clothing and/or badges. You may also directly contact the members of the Ethics Committee of QWorld.
Event staff will be happy to help participants contact venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event. We value your attendance.
We expect participants to follow these rules at the event venues and event-related social events.
All event participants should be guided by several universal values: integrity, mutual respect, open-mindedness, discipline, tolerance, a sense of responsibility, and team spirit during our events.

Today Microsoft released patches covering 62 vulnerabilities as part of October's Patch Tuesday update, with 30 of them affecting Windows. Patches covering 28 of these vulnerabilities are labeled as Critical, and 33 can result in Remote Code Execution. According to Microsoft, a vulnerability in Microsoft Office is being actively exploited in the wild.
Top priority for patching should go to a vulnerability in Microsoft Office, CVE-2017-11826, which Microsoft has ranked as "Important" and is actively being exploited in the wild.
Priority should also be given to CVE-2017-11771, which is a vulnerability in the Windows Search service. This is the fourth Patch Tuesday this year to feature a vulnerability in this service. As with the others, this vulnerability can be exploited remotely via SMB to take complete control of a system, and can impact both servers and workstations. While an exploit against this vulnerability can leverage SMB as an attack vector, this is not a vulnerability in SMB itself, and is not related to the recent SMB vulnerabilities leveraged by EternalBlue, WannaCry, and Petya.
Also of note are two vulnerabilities in the Windows font library, CVE-2017-11762 and CVE-2017-11763, that can be exploited through a browser or malicious file, as well as a vulnerability in DNSAPI, CVE-2017-11779, that could allow a malicious DNS server to execute code on a client system.
A vulnerability in certain TPM chips is addressed by ADV170012. This vulnerability is in the TPM chip itself, and not in Windows, but could result in weak cryptographic keys. These keys are used for BitLocker, Biometric auth, and other areas of Windows. The updates provide a workaround for the weak keys leveraging additional logging and an option to use software-derived keys. Full remediation requires a firmware update from the device manufacturer.
As with several recent Patch Tuesdays, the majority of the vulnerabilities in this month's release involve the Scripting Engine, which can impact both browsers and Microsoft Office, and should be considered for prioritizing for workstation-type systems that use email and access the internet via a browser.
Adobe has not released any security patches for this Patch Tuesday.

The Bridge Fund's mission is to ensure housing stability for vulnerable individuals and families who are threatened with the loss of their housing, but often don't qualify for emergency government assistance.
"The need in the county is really growing, where the working class, who do not qualify for county emergency assistance, are facing immense challenges around meeting some of their most basic needs," said Grace Perry, director of The Bridge Fund. "Our client base is nearly 50 percent children," she said.
The typical Bridge Fund client's annual net income is about $22,400, and some of them pay half of their income in rent.

the new fogbugz setup program
this isnt meant as a flame, even if it sound like one. i am just a little disappointed about todays article.
Matthias Meyer
Actually, I wasn't going to comment, but I must admit that when I read the article I too was wondering why you'd want the setup program to make the changes in the middle of the "setup options" instead of at the end.
Adrian Gilby
Hehe, no one should respond here so Joel gets pissed and has to write that article.
Why should a specification come from outside? FogBugz is software produced for a wide market, not any given monkey. And why do people think misjudging how long something will take is a sign of doing things badly? From what Joel wrote I'm thinking he's never done any installation software before and thus lacked the knowledge needed for an accurate estimate.
Mr Jack
I thought about that issue as well (the need to actually perform the actions instead of carrying out a script when the user clicks finish), but I too came to the same conclusion that step '> n' depends on the actual result of step 'n'.
Shouldn't the setup program be part of a daily build? Not something left until the end?
I thought you only wrote something from scratch if it was part of your core function? Also, I didn't read in the description of the problem anything that the other install programs couldn't already do, so what is that other 75%?
Since FB is server software there are many system level tasks that need to be done - account creations, account testing, service installations, stopping and starting services, permissions granting, manipulating the metabase, etc. The win32 api for this stuff is not what you would call "user-friendly".
Michael H. Pryor
It seems that you are trying to combine two separate issues, installation and configuration.
Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't it have been much easier to simply collect the users decisions up to the last stage and then commit them all in one go?
Mr Jack
This is why I hate programmers. Everybody thinks their way is the best way. Leave Joel alone.
big gulp
The only way to learn is through discussion.

Random thoughts 2:
James Murphy
I Wonder how much of the complexity was due to the non standard way things are done from one version of windows to another. My very limited install expereince comes from writing an RPM to install JBoss on developmer machines, and there I knew I only had to target Red Hat 7.2 and 7.3 machines. I could use the RH toos for creating user accounts, and everything else could use Bash. I also did not want the install to be interactive, I wanted it to be identical on eveyr machine I had to support.
Just out of interest,
Just me (Sir to you)
Jesus Christ! Obviously most of the respondents have never written a setup wizard that had to do what Joel did. I have, and it looks simple when you first start out, but the end design looks nothing like what you started out with. My custom program had to do this:
I'll pass judgement on this method when I know more about the decisions. But it still raises some questions. What happens if the user's computer crashes in the middle of the setup process? I think there are two issues here; making sure an action can be taken, and actually taking it. What if each step (installing the db, creating accounts, etc) tested to see if they have the correct permissions, but the actual action was taken at the end? Having undo capability really raises the complexity; is the complixity necessary? I anxiously await Joel's article.
Monsur Hossain
Regardless of whether you perform the installation/configuration steps as you go, or at the end, you still need to have rollback logic.
what is fogbugz setup program?
vividly vivid
i've spent 2 years writing setup scripts in installshield and wise.
Does anyone else find it funny that some companies pawn
Thomas R. Dial
Ricardo Antunes da Costa
I'd say Joel hasn't written that program at all yet, but is just trolling for some thoughts on it.
Joel has trolled for thoughts on this before but here's another angle:
For the sake of argument, talk about a fictional product call FictionalBUGZ. I'll take Tim's list above (repeated here) as representative - assume FictionalBUGZ setup requires to:
Ori Berger
So will "FogInstallz" be released as a product ?
If anyone is attempting to do what Joel did with his Fog install, I suggest grabbing a design patterns book and implementing the install as a State design pattern. Works really well and simplifies the when/what to do to perform each install/uninstall step. I have an installation program written in C#/Windows Forms that uses the State design pattern if anyone wants to take a look at it...
Yeah... I really think install programs should be "willie" complicated. I really reflects well on what is being installed... and I always like reading the advertisements during the install on what I'm installing... kinda makes me want to go out and buy a copy.
Joe AA
I guess Joel knows why Visual Studio.NET has over 50 people working on the setup program. Concidering it does all the above (Rollbacks, rollbacks after crashing, automated installing, remote installing, etc) it's not all that surprising. Hell the app has it's own massive Database Engine the task is so complex.
Lucas Goodwin
I find it curious that on one hand Joel talks about users of his bug tracking software wanting custom fields even though there are plenty of alternatives.
Most of you guys just don't get it....
What is it we don't get?
Robert Chevallier
What if you want to do config outside of the install? Maybe you want to change the config later, maybe it got corrupted? Would you need to reinstall?
I think that in Joel's case, install and config HAVE to be done at the same time. If you need to specify a super user id, or install a web directory in IIS, these are both install AND configuration steps. Now, it is a good idea to have a separate configuration program so that a user can reconfigure things once they are installed, but in MOST cases, the user will assume that the install is all that is needed to get up and running, so why not combine the install/config so that all they have to do is run the installation program, enter in some configuration stuff and let the install do the rest. If they are happy with the install, they do not need to alter the configuration, if they are not happy with the config, they can use the config tool to modify the configuration without having to perform an uninstall and then a reinstall.
Thanks for the response, Joel.

Office doesn't install via WISE or InstallShield, but rather installs with the Windows Installer. (WSI? WMI? Can't recall the acronym soup for it at the moment). It's a very advanced piece of install software actually as it's also what VS.NET, IE, and pretty much every other piece of MS software was built around. Even then though the VS.NET team had to add a slew of functionality to their installer that wasn't in the Windows Installer.

Environmental history is the study of human beings interacting with the natural world over time. It considers the role of non-human factors in history, simultaneously emphasizing that human beings both produce and are part of the natural environment. While drawing on the frameworks and methods of the diverse disciplines that aim to study the natural world, environmental historians also examine the sociocultural construction of notions such as "nature" and "environment." For these reasons, environmental history is closely related not only to the study of ecology and climate in the sciences but also to disciplines such as social and cultural history, political and economic history, geography, philosophy, and history of science and medicine. In addition to the omnivorous methodological approaches that comprise the environmental humanities in the United States, environmental history at the University of Virginia reflects the global tendencies of the field today, with researchers and instructors specializing in Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and transnational questions. UVa courses in environmental history bring history majors together with students from other programs on campus related to the study of the environment, especially the Environmental Thought & Practice interdisciplinary program.

This Blushed peach skater skirt has been in my wardrobe for 6 years now and I have used it in so many different ways. I have used it as a layer under a short dress. I have worn it in Autumn winter with chunky cable knit sweaters and also with a tank to the beach. I recently wore it with a kurti when I was holidaying in Bali. I purchased this skirt in a sale from Ice Fashions on a whim as I was unsure if I would wear blush peach so often. I liked how soft and breathable the fabric was and also it was easy to wash. So today I am showcasing 3 different ways I have worn this gorgeous skirt on the blog.
Look 1 – Aztec and Floral Prints
When you have a plain skirt you can style it with prints. In this look I clashed two different prints. I teamed the skirt with a singlet that had Aztec prints on it. The colour of the print was in the same colour family as the blush peach skirt. I added a white cropped blazer with floral print all over it. This gave the look a girly and fun vibe. I teamed the look with super high-heeled jeweled green pumps and wore a statement gold and green necklace. The hair was side parted in natural waves and the face was very simple with some mineral powder and a hint of blush with a couple of coats of mascara.
A look that will be perfect for a brunch or dinner date with friends.To read the full post click here.
Look 2- Rose Quartz and Peach Melbourne
I teamed a geometric print short tunic with the skater skirt. This post was shot when I was 4 months pregnant and I was heading to meet a friend. I wanted to be super comfortable yet chic. I added silver and pink flat chappals and a pastel pink box bag. I played with multicolored dangling earrings and multicolored cuff. The outfit was a combination of peach and pink colour family. This was a cool breezy look for summers if you are out an about running errands or catching up for a casual cuppa with your mates. To read the full post click here.
Look 3- Blushed in Art
This is one of my most popular posts on the blog. I collaborated with Tobi who sent me a few pieces to style and one of them was the gorgeous Over-sized cold Shoulder Blush Sweater. It was A-line and long. I wanted to style it with my favorite blush peach skater skirt. It added the needed length without taking the attention away from the sweater. I teamed it with neon orange and gold huge statement earrings and a big gold dial ring. I wore my favorite oxfords in blush to complete the look. I shot this post at NGV and the brand actually emailed me about how they loved this entire look and especially how it was shot at NGV. Perfect look for Autumn and Winter get together or if you are a student it is perfect look for college.To read the full post click here

010: Wrestlemania WeekendApril 9, 2019
I went to a bunch of shows and had a blast. Here's some photos.
I went to a bunch of shows and had a blast. Here's some photos.
I don't really understand the football. I tried to watch as a child, as a Christian homeschooled basically orphan, there was truly nothing more I wanted to do than fit in and have friends, but ultimately those desires clashed with my indoctrinated superiority complex I was blessed with. The internal struggle to care about football because everyone else in my social circle did versus the stance of the outcast that football was dumb and stupid was the main event in my brain every winter. The hill I chose to die on was lonely and high, but offered a great view of the masses cheering that amazing touchdown.
The Super Bowl is on, and I am trying to catch up on editing my own work, and the paid work, while having just done back to back 11 hour days at the studio job I have. I want to continue watching old WWF Superstars episodes from May 1992, my recent guilty pleasure and a throwback to a simpler time. When wrestling wasn't about 5 star matches and being a fan meant being an outcast in society. Everyone wore Eagles or Steelers outfits on Sundays, but my weekends began and ended with that 11am Superstars program filled with squash matches and endearing but shameless hawking of merchandise. I wish I still had that Doink teddy bear.
Times have changed, I no longer forcibly don't care about football, and you don't get laughed at for being a wrestling fan. It may not be exactly "cool" to watch the squared circle soap opera, but then again, being "cool" isn't even cool nowadays. Growing up, being cool or hip was literally everything that mattered to a young buck in the 90s. It is perhaps the first sign of maturity to see those things you raised high on pedestals as a youth, be thrown aside for newer, fresher values. And if not maturity, then at least a sign of world tenure.
I should stop procrastinating and get to work. The work that matters, some that will teach me the values of forethought and planning, and others that will inform me of where I stand as I continue to measure myself against the Masters of the business I choose as my current artistic dance partner. And after getting those results and reflecting on my inadequacies, the lesson I will no doubt surely learn again tonight, is that I should not compare myself to the others. For they are them, plentiful and loud, and I am who I am, for better or worse, on a hill hacking away at my own story.
Anywhos, here's some Sloppy Jane pictures from Monday. They're going on tour and you should go see them.

"If you want to accomplish something that hasn't been accomplished, you have to be relentlessly and unapologetically determined." - Bruce Springsteen
It seems ridiculous to assume I need words to go with the images in these blogs. If it is my goal to attempt to create decent imagery, then why downgrade the user experience with mediocre writing? I am not a writer, nor I want to be, I don't read articles on how to be a better writer, it is only therapeutic to clean my brain out with some subconscious ipecac in the form of prose once in a while. It does seem like it would be perfectly okay to just throw some Jpegs on here and call it a day, but I decided to challenge myself to always include words with some minor thoughts, to not only offer some clearing of the brushes behind my eyes, but to also possibly hook a viewer into buying into my User Experience, which tends to be a bit ranty and rambley after the work is done and I have some space to breath.
Perhaps it is also driven from the current culture's seemingly endless demand for new and different content. Gone are the days of photographers taking just pictures, they are now expected to be directors and speak the moving language as well. Long form writers are encouraged or demanded to offer 240 character micro thoughts into the instant consumable landscape for no reason other than with the right combination, you might "break the internet." Designers are tasked with coding websites, unless, that is, the product is simple enough to be hosted by your favorite podcast sponsor. Perhaps I feel that pressure to write as well as craft visual stories. But also perhaps it's just my creative journey, and much like a child going from toy to toy in the play pen, I am just needing to stretch my creative juices by working in fonts rather than light. Perhaps a drive for exploration is also why I tend to continue to dabble in video projects, with starlights projecting dreams of being as an intelligent of a moving designer as Spielberg or Nolan. Is it creative exploration, is is societal pressure, is it a cause and effect of the two, or a self cannibalizing circle of the process?
Am I using the written portion of this blog just to ask questions of myself, in an attempt to look thoughtful and deep, when I provide no real answers for myself or the possible readership? Is it my responsibility to provide answers for your life in the creative field, or is it merely my own cross to bear? Should I position myself as a subject matter expert so that I can get called upon for a future Ted talk despite believing myself to be a matter of no expertise? Should I admit that in written form, when I would like to eventually claim my paycheck solely from people paying to get my approach to photography to represent their brand?
Maybe we're all just wasting time, creating content for Mark and Jack. But perhaps also we as a people are finally, slowly, realizing that humans can be more than one thing. We can be more than just a career all day and a father at night, we can be builders, makers, explorers, and creators. Perhaps the slow evolution of millions and millions of centuries have lead to this day, when any one of use can pick up a computer, craft a song or sonnet, capture light in still or in motion, send it into the world, and connect with a soul a continent away. Perhaps we are experiencing the most advance cranial software, with widgets galore at our fingertips, to be the greatest, and most powerful version of the human operation system we can be.
In my own life, I do tend to struggle with the idea of focusing on one item, or continuing to dabble in the river of creative opportunities crashing past us as we walk along nature. Do I focus on the still image, cut everything distracting out, and grind a frame out of the marble, or do I consciously take time away from the picture box, stretch other parts of my brain so when I go back to shadows and illumination, I am a stronger, more powerful creative body? Almost every waking moment is a vast tug of war between my internal desire to throw myself into the volcano of work and the logical assessment that muscles, no matter the creative or physical, need rest and varying exercise in order to maximize results.
So here I sit, procrastinating reading up on model posing techniques in the form of word puking. This exercise shall continue, in hopes of continuing to grow my visual strength. And much like working out for the majority of Americans, it is not necessarily pleasurable, but it is a mandate, if one is to live the best life to our ability.
Here's some pictures of Wooing at a few different shows.

Kathleen K .xxx
for the rowdier reader
Bedside readers
Introducing a sexotic quintet
This is not your mommy's porn.
Vintage Boomer porn with redeeming social value
Honey B.
A Truer-than-True Tale of Commercial Satisfaction
Book I: The Suite Life Click here to buy it now!
In this opening volume, Kathleen K. voices a pragmatic call girl (since retired), using Honey's venal ventures to observe and describe humans seeking stimulation of that most frisky thing: the imagination. Hands on, pants off… shields down: provocative. So she got stuff for doing stuff… don't we all? Frankly explicit yet oddly thoughtful, this is a bedside reader for the adult mind.
Honey B., in her own words: I was meant to be a mistress. I called it the "suite life." In any age, in any place, I was a female destined to accommodate the desires of others in order to fulfill my own. As sure as any singer has a supple throat, a dancer grace, a politician ego... I am sexual. It is in the bold eyes, the deliberate mouth, the high strong shoulders, the open hips, the protective thighs plumping over the hole, that secret emptiness, the nothing that some wanted more than anything they already had.
Book II: Sexual Consultant (Winter 2013-2014)
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Honey B. I used to make love for a living. Then I retired, I guess you could say I quit fucking around. I was moving away from the genitalia ghetto, I got the idea I could live easier in a more cerebral neighborhood. I decided to become a sexual consultant because my experience had taught me some basic facts of life. (1) Acts of sex could be considered like snowflakes: no two are alike and their life spans are not impressive. (2) If left to their own devices, people forget to charge their batteries. (3) Audacity is its own reward. I had managed to hit the high road as a sex pro, I expected no less when I switched to sharing sensual secrets for profit. Sexotic counseling is not the norm, you can find a tutor for math and a trainer for fitness but it isn't "done" to ask for help in making love... I give Frank advice about Dick.
Book III: Erotic Advisor (Late Summer 2014)
By the time I meet someone for a sexual strategy session they've been filtered through one of a dozen referral sources. I'm the wizards' wizard. These twelve contacts were cultivated during my sexual consultantcy. I knew I could seed my ideas more effectively if I concentrated on individuals who had been pre-screened.
If they needed sexual crisis management they weren't ready for me.
The rare soul that flutters against my door is poised around life-determining edges, they have already achieved some sense of the potential of romance and passion. They've skimmed the surface to sense the depth of sexual purpose. They think they're paying me to talk but the hard part is the listening.
Like any confessor, I deal with the subjective sense of potential. I do not define the limits rather I describe consequences. I am sharp at spotting hidden agendas. What words don't they use? Where do they veer? Hot spots are triggers for a closer examination. It is the act of opening an emotional safe and finding what has been declared valuable, irreplaceable, intrinsic. What fills their heart, what are they protecting? That is their truest desire.
They can't get what they want until they admit what that is.
Book IV: The Buzz (written, not yet scheduled for production)
Hear from Honey B.'s clients, her champions and her detractors, cohorts and consorts, as we see her through the world's eyes instead of seeing through her eyes. Same crazy place, shifting viewpoints.
Book V: Happy Endings (written, not yet scheduled for production
Fare thee well, Honey B.
Yes, you used us. You used only the best of us.

What I learned from five months of freelancing and travel
This year, I left England in April, and I travelled for five months. I stayed in Hong Kong for a couple of weeks where I slept on a friend's couch. I left for Taiwan where I stayed for almost two months, in a hostel, in a student district of Taipei. Next, I flew to Beijing, for an assignment, where I dwelled two weeks at a friend's apartment.
After that I went to South Korea for half a month, stayed in a hostel. Finally I went to Singapore, where I stayed for just over a month, in hostels and a friend's apartment. Overall, I travelled to five different places.
- Hong Kong/last two weeks of April — I wrote a feature (Dynamic Yield) for a newspaper based in the UAE and an interview feature (Hao Wu documentary) for a UK magazine.
- Taiwan/May & June — I started writing a big feature (Money) for the BBC, and wrote a nonfiction book proposal. I completed two more features (coffee culture in China & virtual banks) for the UAE newspaper.
- Beijing/July — I worked on an assignment for a US college magazine. And finished off the big BBC feature (which has still not been published, although I have been paid.) I also successfully pitched a feature idea (videogames) to the UAE newspaper.
- South Korea/July — I successfully pitched an article idea (migration for work/life) for a UK website. I also went to Gwangju for the 2019 FINA Swimming World Championships, and caught up with a friend. I met someone who gave me the seed of an idea for another article.
- Singapore/August — I met up with a BBC editor; pitched a significant number of unsuccessful article ideas; and successfully pitched the idea (feminism) that originated in South Korea to a HK-based web publication. And pitched another big feature (Time) to the BBC.
I came back to England on 6th September. It's nice to be back, enjoying the late summer sun and the beginnings of autumn. I am fortunate that I have a family home where I can stay when I am back. It is probably the basis of my ability to travel in the way I do; so I recognise that I have this fortunate foundation.
The biggest lesson I gained from the five months of freelancing was that geography and timeline doesn't draw as tight a connection to successful pitches and feature ideas as I thought. That time and geography are pretty flexible for a freelance feature writer.
For example, I can pitch an idea in Beijing, start writing it in South Korea, write more of it in Singapore, and finish the article and file it in England. Similarly, I can get the germ of an idea while in South Korea, pitch it while I happen to be in Singapore, and research and interview sources in England.
This is a useful lesson that I will put into effect on future freelance forays. Here are some other things I learned:
- It always takes time to adapt. It wasn't until halfway through my time in Taiwan that I finally became comfortable with my nomadic freelance schedule. I came to embrace it.
- It's important to remember what you've achieved on a daily basis (ticking off or writing down the things completed that day). This gives you a sense of progress and stops ennui.
- Twitter remains a valuable resource for generating article ideas and making professional contacts. But too much of it is a real downer.
- It's a good idea to meet editors in real life. Just for a quick coffee. The physical meet-up remains a powerful networking tool.
- Accommodation prices in first-tier developed cities are exorbitant.
- Never be afraid to renegotiate fees or ask for more money.
- A little bit of praise can go a long way.
- I have a tendency to tarry so I need to get better at scheduling.
- South Korea has a lot of Dunkin Donuts and it is hella good.
There is probably more stuff but I can't remember all of them. I will now probably stay at home for a bit. But already, after two weeks at home, I can feel myself starting to get restless. Soon enough I will be on the road again. To write, to connect, to experience. Onward.
The story of my WIRED commission
In my last post I said that out of the 12 pitches I sent to editors in January, I only received one commission. That commission came from WIRED (UK), a publication I have long admired, and is a branch of the original mag founded by one of my heroes, Kevin Kelly.
Anyway, that commission has now been published. You can read it here.
This is the story of how I got the idea for the pitch and what led me to pitch WIRED, who I had never contacted, or written for before. It may be of interest to the aspiring freelance journalists out there, to gain some insight into how I come up with ideas, and how I go about pitching.
It all started with a library visit. I joined my local library, and I go there every so often to take out books and to browse the magazines. Reading magazines and other publications is an excellent way of coming up with story ideas.
But you have to be alert for potential items of interest. I was sat in the library, reading through The Economist. I read an article about Tencent, videogames, and government regulations in China, when I came across the following paragraph:
This was very interesting and I hadn't known these things before. I read it again. I took a photo with my phone of this paragraph.
This paragraph has angles. There's the female gamer in China angle, which is significant because it's a higher proportion than in the west. There's this game, Love and Producer, which has been "wildly popular" with Chinese women in their 20s.
Story ideas should be specific, based on details, not generalised. You can't pitch a story about videogames in China, but you can pitch an idea about a very popular game that's hooked millions of young Chinese women that's about dating four men, and by the way, women gamers are almost half of the market in China, unlike in the US or UK.
I then contacted a few Chinese friends to ask them about this game. I got some information from them, preparing my knowledge for a potential pitch.
I use Twitter and I follow lots of editors on there. I happened to see the tweet of a WIRED editor who had tweeted a call-out for pitches themed around love and romance, obviously tech or science-related, and with her email address. I took a screenshot of this call-out, for reference.
Then I pitched this editor the story idea. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Pitchable outlets #3: CNN.com
This is a series examining publications and their accessibility to freelancers. Use the pitchable outlets tag to see more in the series.
Status: medium-high / 1st tier
Reach: CNN, short for the Cable News Network, was the first 24-hour cable news network and the first all-news TV channel in the US. It launched its online counterpart CNN.com in 1995. Since then the website has grown into one of the most widely read news publications worldwide. It has numerous bureau across the globe and international channels such as CNN Espanol and CNN Philippines.
For an idea of reach, one of my stories for CNN.com scored over two million page views.
Accessibility: CNN.com's China section is well developed with broadcasting staff based in Beijing, and editors in Hong Kong. Its China coverage is excellent, even if their TV broadcasts still tend toward the bombastic, with deeply reported online articles and news features that are often informative as well as entertaining. They have a good stable of Chinese news assistants who help in producing short-form video, and in Will Ripley they have a video correspondent who makes use of innovative reporting techniques.
My contributions to CNN.com have been in news features covering cultural trends in China. I made contact with their China editor via Twitter — I found her Twitter account, Tweeted a message to the effect of, "Hey, do you take freelance pitches?", and she replied in the affirmative. She then sent me her email address via private message on Twitter.
I've published two articles about China for CNN, and a travel story for CNN's online travel section. The pitch for the travel story was forwarded on to their travel editor by my China editor.
I've also had a story killed by CNN (my first kill and for which I did not receive a kill fee). The story had been commissioned, but then subsequently killed by someone who had been standing in for the editor who originally commissioned it.
CNN has a roster of staffers who report breaking news and generate stories. For a freelancer, you will have to pitch original ideas; ideas that a freelancer would have the time and flexibility to cover. For instance, these could be stories from China's rural areas or under reported regions and industries, which staffers may not have time to get to. Their email format is: firstname dot lastname @ CNN dot com.
Writing style: CNN.com has a quite distinctive writing style. They tend to use short paragraphs — one sentence or two sentence paragraphs are not at all uncommon. What this means in practice for the journalist is less writing, and more reporting. Both of the articles I've had published took months before they were finally published as numerous rounds of back-and-forth took place. My editor would often ask additional questions and for information to be added, all of which meant additional reporting.
Each paragraph in their articles contain important items of information. This does not mean their articles are not stories. CNN.com articles often contain narrative, but they will be truncated and will fulfill a purpose. Numerous angles will need to be covered and reporting will need to be deep and varied. The prose style is snappy and chatty but authoritative.
For a story about how Buddhism is once again colonizing the hearts of Chinese people, I used an interview with a young man who wanted to become a monk. The interview transcript ran to several pages, and was immensely useful, but his story was condensed into a much shorter version in the final piece. It nevertheless formed a vital part of the article, and demonstrates how a journalist needs to filter information in order to master the narrative.
Payment: CNN have paid me $300 for 1000 words, for articles. This is not bad, but, considering the amount of work involved, not great either. They will pay more for photos to go along with a story (ie a photo gallery) but only if you agree to relinquish copyright of your photos to CNN.
Pitchable outlets #2: The Independent
This a series examining publications and their accessibility to freelancers. Use the pitchable outlets tag to follow this series as it continues.
Status: medium-high / 1st tier
Reach: The Independent is a respected name in journalism. Launched in 1986 alongside a brilliant advertising campaign, the young Independent was a major fresh voice in British journalism. But with shrinking circulation over the years and financial difficulties, it is now a very lean operation drawing the majority of its print readership from London.
But it has some major names on its books; heavyweights such as Robert Fisk and John Pilger. And its website and social media presence is much improved. People still look to The Indy, as it's colloquially known, and its innovative editorial stances, such as the bold cartoon splash for the Charlie Hebdo attacks, draw much praise. It remains a vital part of British journalism, although its international coverage is hampered by a small budget.
Accessibility: I have mainly pitched to the features desk and international desk, as a freelancer, at The Indy. I have been published in The Independent on Sunday (The Sindy) and the tabloid version of the paper The i.
There's no real need to pitch separately to these three papers, as the staff for this national newspaper numbers around 140. The email format for The Indy is the initial of the first name dot last name @ independent dot co dot uk — ie email@example.com.
Ease: The main problem with getting published in The Indy are the small budgets they have. Freelancers will have a harder time as the newspaper fills its pages with the coverage it needs, and will not be so interested in topics that bigger publications such as The Guardian cover. That said, there are definite opportunities for freelancers to get an Indy byline if you have a unique story or angle.
Payment: The last time I was published in The Indy was this month — 4th July 2015 — in the newspaper and online. I received what they said was their standard rate, which is 15p a word. This is not a very good rate.
Part two: freelance journalists on their first ever (paid) commissions
Kate Burt is a freelance writer and editor for publications including the Independent ("where I've also been a commissioning editor – so I know the other side!"), and the Guardian. She also blogs at yourhomeislovely.com.
Publication: Melody Maker (RIP)
Fee: About £30 as I recall!
What were you doing at the time?
I was a staff writer on a teen magazine, my first proper journalism job. Then I met the editor of Melody Maker [a now defunct music publication] on the bus to work, which I took every day, and he kept on at me to write some freelance reviews for the mag as we'd always chat about music on the bus. It became a regular thing and started me on the road to full-time freelancing.
How did you get the commission?
My first commission following a pitch – rather than bus chat – was for the Guardian Guide. I had pitched dozens of ideas to them for months and been rejected over and over but it was my dream to write for them at the time. I learnt that I needed to give them something no one else would – so I offered an interview with the then obscure Derren Brown whose first late-night C4 TV show was called Mind Control or something.
I got the PR to provisionally agree that I could interview Derren if the Guardian said yes so I could put that in the pitch, which is important (what if they say no after you've pitched?). I outlined an idea that I would try out six of his mind control tricks on various strangers and write about how it worked. No staff writer had the time for that, it was quite quirky and funny and introduced a new talent that fitted the Guide's entertainment remit. Getting the word "new" into a pitch, I learned, is key, as is being game to get out there and understanding what is a good fit for the publication.
Make your idea unique to you
Part one: freelance journalists on their first ever (paid) commissions
Brent Crane is an American journalist who moved to Asia in 2014. He has since traveled around China and Myanmar, scoring bylines in the Daily Telegraph, Vice, Aljazeera, and Roads & Kingdoms, among others. He can be found tweeting @bcamcrane and his blog is thecongeechronicles.tumblr.com
I first got paid for writing in a place where writers typically never get paid: an internship. I spent last winter in Washington DC writing for an international affairs journal called the American Interest. My main gig was producing short 200-400 word news analysis posts for their online blog. At the end of my time there I wrote my first-ever feature story and that is what I got paid for ($200).
My chosen topic was the unprecedented dangers of freelance reporting from the Syrian civil war and how this related to the sea change that was taking place in the world of journalism in general. I'd been turned on to the idea from a book that I found in the AI office, a memoir by freelance photojournalist Paul Conroy called "Under the Wire".
It took me forever to narrow the subject down from "the problems faced by freelance war reporters" to "the problem faced by freelance war reporters in Syria and why this matters for journalism as a whole"; but I had a lot of help from the editors at AI.
Pitching is something you can only get better at with practice, but that experience did teach me to never stop asking myself "Yeah but why should anyone care?" when formulating a story idea. A topic being interesting is not enough. It must be newsy in some way if an editor is going to bite.
My 1500-word feature went through numerous edits. It was a major learning experience for me.
To research it I spoke with eight highly accomplished freelancers, most of whom had reported from Syria. Being able to pick their brains about how they operated as freelancers was invaluable to me as an aspiring journalist. And also they made for great first-time interviewees, having all been in my shoes at some point. Talking with them humanized the field.
Before that, a freelance journalist in my mind was a kind of mysterious character and freelancing was more of a theoretical career choice than a realistic one. Actually meeting some lone wolf writers I had a kind of lightbulb moment: If these people can do it, so can I. That was a huge confidence booster for me and a major push for me to take the leap.
And for the first time in my life I'd actually made an actual sum of money writing. Holding that check for $200 in my hands I thought anything was possible.
6 journalism resolutions for the new year & how to achieve them
1. Write More
It sounds so simple but it's not. All writers know that they should be writing more. The successful imposition of the "write more" intention then requires rules and routines (tricks, really) that, crucially, forms a habit. Here are a few that I'll be following:
- 50 words a day
This rule is designed on the understanding that motivation is a fickle and finite resource. We only have so much of it and so the barriers to entry for any task should be as low as possible. The clearest analogy I've heard is for flossing your teeth. Instead of a broad goal that you should be flossing more you should have this aim: floss one tooth. Just a single tooth.
Now this is much easier you think. I can do one tooth. But of course you start flossing one tooth and then you end up doing another and another until you end up doing every one; fulfilling your goal without guilt or anxiety because you've already achieved your aim of flossing one tooth.
The same goes for writing. You may set yourself the well-meaning goal of 500 words a day, but this may be too daunting especially if you're in the process of habit forming. 50 words a day is much more manageable; there's even an argument for a more drastic 10 words a day, anything to get your bum on a seat and writing. Once you've written those 50 words, the rest will follow.
