| You’re Not Just a Writer, You’re the Editor-in-Chief. | | 2008-06-27 09:44:25 | | Blogs are quite often a one-person show. The owners maintain the blog, write the content and promote the site themselves. They switch between different roles whenever necessary and that’s the natural result of a DIY system where one is personally in charge of everything. Sometimes, we tend to see themselves more as writers and less as executive editors.

| | | I'm a Writer. Do you have a story for me? | | 2008-06-17 11:56:05 | | Have I mentioned that I've started work officially?
Well, in case you haven't heard, I'm currently working as a Writer at 88DB (under 88DB Lifestyle), and I'm looking out for hot leads for a good story!
So... If you have a story in mind, and want extra publicity, drop me an email, message me on Facebook (I can't log on to MSN at work), or use my contact form! Thanks!
Anyway, it's past midnight already and I have to wake up at 7am. (Plus I need to head down to CommunicAsia 2008 by 2pm. From West to East is sooo not a close distance.)
I'm gonna hit the sheets now. Will update again tomorrow later or something.

This article explains what writer’s block is, and discusses three easy ways to get past writer’s block quickly and effectively when writing a research paper.What is writer ’s block exactly, and how do you know if you are experiencing this problem?Writer’s block has no clinical definition, but generally it is an inability to write, where the words or ideas don’t come to mind, and the writer ends up staring at a blank piece of paper, unable to begin or continue. In some cases, it is caused by anxiety and stress, and be overcome using common relaxation techniques. But more often, it is caused by a lack of preparation or lack of familiarity with the subject matter.The first tip to overcome writer’s block is to know clearly what you intend to say in y | | By: Dissertation Writing Guru | | |

| | Library for Report Painter/Writer SAP FICO Report Painter | | 2008-04-03 05:07:40 | | I just have one question regarding Report Writer/Painter
Is it possible to create new library based on whatever table we want which
is not SAP installed. For exmaple, in PCA, there is standard library
8A2 which si based on GLPCT. Is it possible to create new library based on
table say GLPCA? If so, what's menu path to add table in Library?
I am on 3.1H. TIA -----Reply Message-----
Subject: RE: Library for Report Painter/Writer As consultants always say:
"Do you really want to create reports on table GLPCA?".
All the information is in GLPCT and in addition performance with reporting
on GLPCA would probably be very bad. I wanted to get period information form PCA. And it looks like GLPCT does
not give records per period (period field is 16 or other value) but only the
cumulative values per period are stored in specific fields. So i thought I
needed a report on GLPCA, but I use libraries based on GLPTC to get the
information from GLPCA. Apparently by selecting periods (RPMAX) in reports,

| | Guest Post: When Can I Call Myself a Writer? | | 2008-03-26 16:00:00 | | I used to think of myself as a writer, but not so much anymore. I don't know when this shift occurred, but I think it's when I left a career that had "writer" in the title.I graduated from college, more years ago than I'd like to admit, with a degree in Journalism. With that handy-dandy piece of paper I called myself a writer and proceeded to tell anyone who would listen that I was a writer in pursuit of a writing career. And for awhile that worked. I worked at a newspaper as a freelance writer for awhile. But since that was such a poor paying job I ended up in the advertising department selling space to anyone who'd pay our meagre fee. That got old fast and it wasn't long before I was on the job hunt again.Luckily I landed a job on a TV show as an Associate Producer. Now that was a job with a title that made it sound far grander than it was. Mostly I was a glorified assistant who very occasionally got to write script for some of the on-air segments.

Surely there are many out there who might against me though. Well, it is up to you. Sometimes, maybe due to a limit of time, they prefer to buy a research paper or hiring someone in custom writing field to do your assignment - usually for those who studied part-time. We couldn't blame them for sure, they do have other important commitment a part of study like work, their family. They do not have other way out, hiring people is the best way than have to fail for the subject. Don't you think so?

| | Writer's Guild Strike: Think of the Children! | | 2007-11-16 00:04:00 | | On November 5th the Writers Guild of American commenced its paralyzing strike. Television networks were forced to shut down sets. Networks then flippantly replaced normal programing with canceled sitcoms. But a sitcom, once killed, cannot be brought back to life without a devastating price. For ten agonizing days now, the decaying zombie army of canceled 80's programing has reigned with blood and terror inside my television.Consequently, American morale is currently at a critical low. Images of the Waco standoff flash through my head. Charles is once again In Charge of us. The Designing Women and their lethal shoulder pads flaunt our crimes against humanity during the fashion holocaust of the 80's. Being forced to revisit this decade causes me immense emotional pain. I can't deny that I was a part of it - I rolled my jeans, I tucked my shirt, I lovingly cooed over Jesse's mullet from "Full House." Now these traumatic memories are regurgitated when I try to relax after dinner. I' | | By: Hollywood Flakes: Get 'em While They're Hot | | |

| | So You Want To Be A Writer... | | 2007-10-09 19:56:00 | | Being a writer, even a published one, is not an easy thing. We all wish we could have the succss of people like Stephen King or John Grisham, selling million dollar book contracts and selling millions upon millions of copies worldwide in a whole assortment of different languages. The sad part of that dream is that it most likely will never come true.In short, being a writer is hard. Here are some things to think about to make sure you're serious about this venture:Trying to keep up with the market is impossible. Therefore writing to the market is pointless, unless it's short stories. Even if you sell your novel, it could take a year or more before it ever goes to print. By then, whatever market you had written and marketed that book to may have changed and now your really interesting and original novel is old news.Rejections are common. Some writers go through hundreds of submission attempts before anyone ever gives them a shot. You'll likely have the same problem. The market is brutal like that. So, be prepared to get rejected a lot. Maybe you'll get lucky on your first try, but most likely you'll get a lot of rejections before an editor really considers your work.Writers are poor. Don't quit your day job. If you have high hopes that you'll be able to write for a living and be comfortable doing it, think again. Orson Scott Card discussed this very thing in his book on writing SF & F. In reality, even if your first novel does well, you probably won't be buying Ferrari's with the paycheck that comes with it. That also assumes you sell out on your advance. See, the way it works in the market is that a publisher forwards you an advance of money--usually a few thousand dollars. This is sort of your 'tide-me-over' payment. When your book actually comes out, you have to earn back that money for the publisher before you get paid anything else. You get a percentage of every book sold, so from the start, that percentage is paying off the money they gave you. Maybe you'll earn out your advance, maybe you won't. Until you do, you get nothing else.In the event you get published and earn out your advance, likely you won't be making a whole lot of money at all. In fact, if anything, the money you'll be making won't be enough to even pay the rent. So, don't quit your day job. If you do, and you're married, make sure your significant other is willing to support you.Publishers have no qualms about dropping you. Sounds lovely doesn't it? Well, if you're not making the publisher any money, they have no reason to keep you around. So if you don't earn out your advance on your first novel, you might get a second chance, you might not. That depends on how bad your novel does. Most publishers accept that a first novel often won't make a lot of money anyway. So if your second novel, and your third, aren't doing very well, then expect to be dropped. If that happens it might become very difficult for you to get back into the market. The market functions on money.Writing is a hell of a lot of work. You can't be a writer if you don't write. That means you have to accept that writers block is not a real syndrome, but actually the result of laziness.If you finish your novel and want it publish it, realize it could be a long road before anything happens, if anything happens. Publishers have long wait times. If you submit your novel to one publisher, you might be waiting for months, or longer, before a response comes back. Some publishers won't take simultaneous submissions, so this means you could be jumping from publisher to publisher shopping your book for many many years. This can get very discouraging when it seems like all the publishers are rejecting your work.The Writing World is not fluffy bunnies and joy. It's damn hard work. Being a professional writer is like any other full time job, except in this case you get to do something you actually like to do. So, of course you'll enjoy writing, but you'll also have to recognize that it will be difficult and a lot of hard work, and in the end you'll have no guarantee that you'll be a bestseller or one of those names that everyone knows.You do have to have some talent. Maybe not a lot, judging from some of the abysmal novels that seem to be coming out these days, but you can't just spring up one day and say "I want to be a writer" and expect your first words to be pure gold. Most people write garbage for a while. Many of us know that saying that you have to get through the first 1,000,000 words before you write anything good. It's an overstatement, but if you think about it, in some respects, there is truth to it. Most likely the first thing you write will be crap.Stephen King and J. K. Rowling are flukes. They are not common place in the world of writers. In fact, both are incredibly rare. Almost all writers don't have the monetary success of those two. So if your dream is to be like them, expect to be disappointed a lot. John Scalzi and Tobias Buckell are both fantastic writers who have great careers ahead of them, and neither of them are being handed huge contracts for millions of dollars (correct me if I'm wrong though). I only bring this bit up more before because too many people have hopes to be like those really popular and rich authors. Come back down to Earth. A better focus would be just to be published and successful enough to be able to continue doing it. I'd love to be rich like King, but I could enjoy life just as easily if I were just published and able to continue publishing my work.Anyone have anything to add to this? Maybe you disagree with some things? Discuss! | | By: The World in the Satin Bag | | |

Goats Not Available For Comment. | | 2007-06-20 19:57:00 | | (Dater VS ESPN, Round 1)A couple of weeks ago, when I interviewed him about his book, Adrian Dater seemed like a pretty laid-back, friendly guy. Cool and calm, he responded to each of my silly questions and graciously humored a blogger he probably couldn't care less about. Today, though, the gloves are off. He's got an axe to grind with a little network called ESPN, and he's not afraid to let it all out:You can take your ESPN and all the alleged superiority that comes from being on it every day and you can shove it in that little space where there is very little sunlight, ever.Hmm, a classy way to get the ball rolling. He goes on:Do you hear me, ESPN producer schmucks? You didn’t break JACK SQUAT. Some real journalist at a newspaper broke that story.

| | Avs Beat Writer Adrian Dater Wastes Shares His Time With DLS | | 2007-06-06 19:19:00 | | Six months have now passed since the release of Denver Post writer Adrian Dater's excellent book Blood Feud, a summary of the once-infamous, now-defunct Avalance/Dead Wings rivalry of the mid 1990s. I read it and enjoyed it, and the reviews have been generally positive. Adrian took some time out of his busy schedule covering the Stanley Cup Finals in Ottawa for the Post to sit down with Dear Lord Stanley (I assume he sits while typing). What follows are his thoughts on writing the book, the future of rivalries in the NHL and the sometimes-heated relationship between bloggers and trained journalists.Dear Lord Stanley (DLS): Describe your overall experience writing Blood Feud. It is your first book, correct? Was the process as painful as many first-time authors describe?Adrian Dater (AD): No, it wasn't too bad for me.

| | | Travel Writer Jobs - What Are They And How To Find Them | | 2007-05-24 10:05:52 | | Travel writing jobs are few and far between. Getting into this field is hard to do and requires a lot of training and experience. But, there are many benefits to them. There are many individuals who would love to get employment opportunities in this field. And, because the world is faster and faster becoming accessible to more people, increasing employment availability can be found for travel jobs as well. But, how does a person get in and how do they do their job?
Travel writer jobs belong mainly to freelance authors, travelling far and wide. They learn about the amusements, the attractions, and the little secrets of the towns, cities, and countries they visit. Then, they provide this knowledge to the general public in the form of articles, books, or even transcriptions. It is amazing that many people go from location to location by simply learning about different areas and using this knowledge to write. But, this work is far from easy.

Much of the workload for which additional (work-from-your-own-home) writers currently are needed involves the production of “models” to be used in these educational programs, to provide standards and examples for students to follow. The subject matter covered, therefore, runs the entire gamut of topics one encounters at the college and graduate school levels. For the most part, however, the work done is concentrated in the domains of business, humanities and social sciences.
