Info about writing Novel

I often touch on the different aspects of fiction writing in my blog, Writer's Edge[http://www.writers-edge.info], but I don't think I would presume to tell anyone else how to write their book. We all develop our own methods, sometimes different ones for different novels.

For example, right now I am working on my third book. The story idea arrived whole in my mind (a rare occurence for me!), so I wrote up a quick outline: beginning, middle, end. Some writers call this a "framework" for a book. Then I expanded the outline and found I needed a cheatsheet on each character, a list of settings, a chronology of events, and a chart of relationships (it's a complex middle). I tried having all this on the computer in one file of MSWord documents, but I really needed a faster reference method that wouldn't take me out of the page itself. I printed out the charts and tables and posted them on a bulletin board near my desk. I couldn't possibly keep all this information straight in my mind before I write the book.

Having this novel pretty much completely outlined allows me to focus on the writing craft now. After several decades of writing, I know that this procedure works much better for me than just writing and seeing where it goes (nowhere, usually).

For you, I would suggest that you first get a better grasp of the language, if you're going to write in English professionally. Never pass by an opportunity to practice good writing and to demonstrate your skills.

Got Info of Indo-US relations

Indo-US relations were a “theatrical drama” enacted to induce India to support the US with a view to isolate Iran on one hand and help build a cold war situation in China.

....

Agree with that completely,what are strategic alliance for ? China is a bigger threat due to increasing might and clout of the Chinese and India seems to be the apt ally to play with so as to neutralize china. Iran with nukes on the other hand is a threat to Israel and U.S will slowly win favor with India and pressure India to stop supporting her natural ally,Iran. Iran and India has been having ties long before U.S was even made a country ,India's oil needs are satisfied by Iran and any halt in that would send our economy spinning . But there is so much of U.S pressure to stop buying oil from Iran.

My guess is that there would be a sharp increase in petrol prices in India soon .Our economy will go slow for this year.

Got Info for Socrates trial and execution

It looks like the author has tried to make a subtle point in this book. What he is saying is that the execution order for Socrates had public backing. It wasn't a malicious verdict by a group of conspirators with a personal score to settle. Still it doesn't add up to much. After all, you cannot take someone's life based on lame assumptions like Gods getting angry because they were teased by a wily old guy. Doesn't matter whether such a verdict had the sympathy of a hundred or a thousand people. It was another blasphemy charge leading up to an innocent scholar's death.

Getting Novels My View

I didn't mean the novel was so free as to be the same as prose fiction. There are some internal peculiarities. A good delimitation is this: “[The novel] is a distinctive (and then quite innovative) kind of prose fiction — featuring a concern with subjectivity and the consciousness of ordinary people, ordinary language, and everyday contemporary events — that emerged in Europe at various points in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and that began to dominate the popular market in England in the early eighteenth century.” The definition is by J. Paul Hunter, in “Gulliver’s Travels and the later writings”. You see then that the novel, as it came into being, was very different from the fantastic adventures of knight errants or mythological heroes, who were also present in prose fiction.

My way of Reading

I can imagine your difficulties, for I live in Brazil and we don't have a great stock of English literature either. What I have read came from slow purchases made as years went by, and from public libraries. The main Brazilian university (USP) has a good library, reasonably furnished with the main titles, but lacking in less famous books. And to buy books from abroad is quite expensive. What I use to do is to search the "Used" section of such sites as Amazon and Abebooks. Sometimes it is possible to find good books in good condition for up to $5. The sad thing is that you must pay other $10 for delivery, but it is still cheaper than buying them new.

Shocking Information about Alcohol

Can alcohol increase your lifespan? If you're a worm, the answer appears to be "yes," according to a new study conducted by chemists at UCLA. While the worms -- known as Caenorhabditis elegans -- typically live for 15 days, their life spans increased to 20 to 40 days when they ingested very small amounts of ethanol -- the same type of alcohol found in your favorite wine, beer or cocktail.

Funny moment at Parliment

yesterday it was first day for mukul roy as railway minister and he was to give reply against discussion held on railway budget which was presented by trivedi. but mukul was not present in lok sabha. after opposition's uproar over absence of mukul, his deputy informed that mukul is in upper house for formal introduction by PM. after a while mukul came in lok sabha. then again mukul stood and left lok sabha. one MP from opposition asked ab wapas kaha ja rahe hai mantri ji, to which mukul said there's voting in rajya sabha so he's going to upper house. Hearing this Sumitra mahajan said " thik hai mantri ji chale jaiye, ana jana to laga hi rehta hai"  

Something I want to Share

I heard the news which i didn't wanted to share.but u people seems to be worried thats why i am sharing this.actually telecom companies like bsnl, mtnl said to telecom minister in their report that people recruited thru ES shows power in their work in every situation.everywhere and every time they used to say that i am in better position and better knowledgeable than you.i am ES officer(more things like that)so now chairman of these companies decided to maintain the department on their own rather taking ES person who shows power only.And 2nd thing is due to allocation of spectrum to different companies accordingly,the role of ITS is getting narrow and narrow,now they do not need more number of ES officers for it.this might be the reason for it also.these all things told to our class while preparing for interview by director.now please dont ask name of coaching

Getting respect at your Job

IRSE generally is more manpower intensive compared to other departments, so you have more staff at your disposal. As a JAG officer posted in division, you may have more than 1000 staff under you. You may also have staff like gardeners, safaiwalla at home. Like I said, as a probationary ADEN (for 2-3 yrs after training), you generally won't get car, but depending on your jurisdiction and the Sr. DEN (Senior Divisional Engineer, JAG officer) you are reporting to, you may be given car also.

But after being promoted as DEN after 2-3 years you will definitely have car.

Got Queries about Economy

A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy.

More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages etc which are grown, produced and consumed here.

With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future.

Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES [Avoid Company having Foreign Investors but company name is Indian].

You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate produc

Got About Illumination Info

I saw a film by Krzysztof Zanussi recently, called Illumination. It is a film about science: its ethics, politics, successes and failures, and the ambitious young physicist who is trying to find his way. Anyone who is interested in science would enjoy this film, and what is interesting is that even though this is a film from 1974, the issues and scientific accomplishments it covers are particularly relevant and current. Illumination is St Augustine's theory that moments of clarity and understanding come about in a Platonic revelation of the real world that is more a result of a purity of heart than intellectual effort.

The importance of the first voice

She did her best to push everything out of her mind, choosing instead to focus by losing herself in the mere act of jogging. The utter repetition of picking up her feet and putting them back down again, one at a time, over and over, the scenery changing both suddenly and gradually, looking up and realizing over ragged breath that she'd come nearly two miles was therapy in and of itself. And to think that people pay for doctors, she laughed as she took and kicked forward again, her mind drifting away from running and where she was until reality jammed its way back into her life, jammed itself right and square and undeniable as before her she saw

Feel the Unity

Unity is the key to break the bondage of loneliness and insecurity. Remember, the Taj can be rebuilt. The Oberoi-Trident has reopened. Nariman House can be rebuilt. But one thing that cannot be changed is that nothing will bring back the people who died during the terror attacks.

Ganguly being Victim in World Cup

The doubts that i cud have had over the years dada sabotaging the 2007 world cup campaign by his pathetic slow innings of 60 odd runs in double the number of balls against Bangladesh will no more be there. Here is a bitter man who was ranting about his sr vis a vis RD's during last eng tour and this very man cud not even score at a sr of 75-80 in a world cup match against bd. This man still carries the bitterness in him against his former teammate and the most humble servant of Indian cricket for not fighting for his already lost cause. Dada was credited with lot of good things in cricket and it is simply the case of Fence eating Crop.

I have to agree though that Dada was a Victim. A Victim of his own Attitude rather than a psycho (as alleged by Dada) Chappell or anyone else.

For Dada it has always been he him himself.

Racial Comments against Evra

Suarez had accepted that he had called Evra a negro...He should have made an apology earlier itself...The appeal and all is not gonna be easy.. All anti racism organisations are gonna come against us,similarly many other organisations too...Its not going to do good for us...I dint read the full report but I say,there may be many loop holes but there are chances that our appeal and t-shirt incidents might back fire..:-0 much worried about that...And seriously,as this is an instance of accused racism, we are definitely not going to get much support :-( Evra may not be a credible witness, but if what said in the report is true,i would say it was very bad from Luis!!! Anyway, lets hope for the best.

Slaughtering Cow My View

From ancient time India was a land with full of diversities ... Till today the situation is exactly same ... There may be differences in opinion - but based on that, division land is not acceptable .... Creation of Pakistan - I think it was a blunder - both for Hindus n Muslims - It will be clearer with every passing day ...

And I feel it so painful that many Muslims perceive that they are successors of some foreign invaders - this humiliates me a lot - in fact it will humiliate any Indian .... In some cases Muslims are unnecessarily arrogant ... I find no reason for that ...

Anyway ,, in this case - the slughtering of a heavily pregnant cow was totally unnecessary !! ..... Its not about majority or minority - Its more to do with humanity ... Here ,, slughtering of a heavily pregnant cow could be avoided ....

Politicians vs Bio Energy

I am just surprised that BJP is going back to its religion based politics after trying to assume secular tag for last few years now. Definite policy change for them. I know many may not agree that they had been going center right in recent years but that is how it was till recently. It seems to be getting increasingly conservative, religion based and aggressive now. May be they realize that whatever image they may assume, its not going to be easy to beat congress in its own game. WRT topic, I don't know if I can take this fringe guy's opinion as BJP's opinion. He seems silly to make such comparison which can easily put off many hindus too.

On side note, I am not getting any where near dung or urine of cows. Not for consumption anyways. Wonderful for bio-gas and organic fertilizer, but that is that, for me.

Got Game Plan for Diet

Working out even three non-consecutive days a week can benefit the busiest of persons. Following a thorough warm-up, train each muscle group with one basic exercise, of 3 sets of 10 repetitions each. The routine should not take more than 45 minutes. Weight training increase metabolic rate, improves hormonal response, and conditions the cardiovascular and circulatory system. Old cells wither and new ones take their place fast, which also means more health benefits. A good diet regimen should also be part of the game plan.

Got Yamaha in Market

The Yamaha Gladiator SS has fought hard and still offers honest value for its price. It is a good motorcycle and ahs its strength but fails to match the Honda CBF Stunner as an overall package. The CBF Stunner is worth its premium sticker price and the better motorcycle of the two top put your money on if you are in the market for a sport 125. It excels thanks to its class-leading style, willing and comparatively fuel efficient engine as well as a superior riding position and better handling. Thatís not all. The Stunner looks so good that Honda dealers are certain to find themselves in a spot trying to explain to Unicorn customers how this 125cc model looks better than its more up market 150cc sibling.
