Have you ever stop to realize just how important communication is to you. Without being able to connect with other people it not only stops you from achieving your goals and desires, it could also threaten your mental and physical health.
Yet, many people just leave their communication skills to happenstance and live in a world of misunderstandings, hurt feelings, loss of relationships and business disasters. Quite often they look for outside reasons for challenges or failures. Yet, they can overcome the challenges.
History has shown just how vital communication is in order to grow, succeed and to become more than we are. When you look at the development of humankind and of our brains, you can understand the importance.
In a study on the development of humankind, it was stated that many versions of humans started out, but due to a variety of reasons, they didn’t survive and became extinct. The last two types stated to survive were the Neanderthals and the Homo sapiens. There has been much debate as to whether they were two subsets of one species or two distinct species.
The one thing agreed upon was that other than the difference in the brow bone and chin that the two were more similar than any other versions and that they both had a larger brain than the previous. They could tell that the Neanderthals could think out problems, as they had created tools and buried their dead. Therefore, they couldn’t understand why they became extinct.
A scientist recently discovered one difference between the two. He noticed that when he turned the skull upside down and looked at the base of the brain area that the Neanderthals had a flat base, where as Homo sapiens have a bulge downward.
This effects where are larynx is located. The Neanderthal’s would be higher up and unable to make many of the sounds that Homo sapiens do. They wouldn’t be able to make the vowel sounds. In other words, they weren’t able to communicate and connect with others on a higher level in the same manner as Homo sapiens. It is believed that this inability to communicate as well is what eventually lead to their extinction.
The conclusion was that intelligence on its own, is not a guarantee to be able to succeed in life. Your ability to communicate well, and connect with others will enable you to survive and excel business and life. All the knowledge in the world won’t help if you can’t releate or explain any of it to others.
However, our communication abilities don’t end there. Much of our primary motor cortex in out brain is related to communication. In other words, a big chuck of our higher advanced brain in the motor cortex, was designed to enable us to communicate more efficiently. This relates to our hands, face tongue and larynx.
When we communicate, our message that we give has more meaning than just the words. Our message is sent in part by body language, tone and emphasis.
Body language includes, use of our hands and facial expressions as well as our stance and posturing. Our tongue and larynx give tone, pitch and emphasis. It is these fine details that has enabled us to more clearly define our motives, beliefs, understanding, intentions and desires that we want. It has enabled us to advance in ways that we would never have been able to without our ability to communicate our thoughts, feeling and ideas.

Remember that the success in your life in proportion to your ability to connect with others.

Perceptions-Understanding What you are Really Seeing.
The agent issue is such an emotional one for writers. Having one is a huge validation. I was fortunate to sign with an agent while still writing my first novel and it was wonderful being able to work and know that someone was waiting for what I was writing.
But the eagerness to have that feeling often pushes writers to make poor decisions when it comes to the hunt for an agent. With some thinking, solid preparation and research it is possible to hook up with an agent and have a satisfying relationship with him or her. Here are five crucial points to help you with the process.
1. Do You Need An Agent?
You’ve probably heard the oft-cited fact that most publishers these days don’t read unsolicited manuscripts. But that only means that the editor hasn’t been contacted beforehand. If you send a query letter and the editor asks to see your book or book proposal, you can send it without going through an agent.
However, if the editor does want to make an offer, they will suggest that you get an agent. An agent will help you get the best deal possible and, in the best of worlds, an agent will also be interested in helping you develop your career as a writer. If you can get an agent before the submission process, I think that’s even better because the agent can help you put your manuscript in the best shape possible before it gets submitted. As they say, you only get one chance to make a first impression. With that in mind…
2. Be Ready.
You have to be writing at a top level to grab an agent’s attention. Unfortunately, a number of writers tend to skip that part. You may be eager to get an agent, but if you’re continually sending out subpar material, you’ll be seen as a writer with poor skills and poor judgment and someone not to be taken seriously.
Granted, I know you want to know that you’re not writing for nothing and an agent would provide that validation, but at some point you have to make the decision that you’re writing for the long haul and working on your craft. If you can do that, getting an agent will not be a problem.
3. Find the Right Agent.
When you’re ready to make the search, DO NOT get a bunch of names and do a mass mailing to anyone with the title “agent”. You’ll only get a bunch of rejections from agents who don’t handle your material or aren’t looking for new clients. If you do a little work, you can find out what kind of writers an agent represents and the type of material they favor. Writer’s Digest publishes the Guide to Literary Agents (see below) where you’ll find complete listings.
Here’s another great tip: if you join Publishers Marketplace, you can get a daily e-mail listing of what deals have taken place in the book industry. You’ll see what kind of book sold, what editor bought it and the agent who represented the author. This is good information because you’ll see immediately who is representing your type of writing and–more importantly–who is buying it!
4. No, You Don’t Have to Pay an Agent!
I get asked about this a lot, usually by writers who have already been taken advantage of by agents who charge expensive “reading fees”. A good agent makes money when you make money (usually a 15 percent commission). You’ll want to ask some questions. If an agent makes most of his money from writer fees and not from actual sales, you’ll want to move on. A good way to weed out this group is by checking out members of the Association of Author’s Representatives (AAR). Members of AAR are forbidden from charging fees.
5. Network!
An agent is much more likely to pay attention to a manuscript from someone they have met personally. I know networking and meeting agents can be hard if you live in the mountains of Arizona or on an island in Puget Sound. But consider it part of your work as a writer to get out to a conference at lease once or twice a year to meet agents, editors and, of course, other writers! I’ll let you know when good ones are coming up.
One last note
An agent is NOT a magic pill. Even the best agent can’t work miracles with mediocre material. It will ALWAYS be your job to do your best writing.

Now that youve made the conflict so bad it cant be resolved easily, youll have to make sure it can be resolved ultimately.
So what you need is a way out.
When you cant find a way out, what you do is keep on making things harder for your character until you see a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.
A way out could beK
The character changes his mind about things
The character receives information previously unknown
The character gains insight into whats been happening
EtcK
Whichever way you find your way out of the conflict, it must always be one thing. It must always be believable.
When you have piled on the problems and given your characters a hard time, the resolution of the conflict has to give justice to your story. You dont make your characters suffer; build suspense only to end your story in disappointment.
And while we are thinking of a way out, we have to keep in mind that the character is the one that has to resolve the conflict. So the way out we are searching for has to have something to do with him.
Only he can resolve the conflict in order to be satisfying to us readers because its his story. He is going through the conflict, so when he resolves the conflict and experiences triumph we experience triumph too.
Also make sure your conflict is able to be resolved, which means that things can change to enable us to resolve the conflict.

WHERE CAN I PUBLISH MY BOOK? (PART 3)
By
Arthur Zulu
Did I say exciting? Yes, of course. The world had been dragging until some whiz kids got their magic boxes together and said: “Let the computers be connected!” And there came the Internet. And the dot com bomb. So, at the touch of the button, you have the world at your feet. Isn’t that exciting?
You, the writer has so much to gain from the Internet. You can do your research there, read all kinds of books, and do the ultimate — publish on the Internet.
I am not going to do a dissertation here because I do not know so much about the subject (pardon my ignorance.) I even understand that there is going to be a “new” kind of Internet, soon (pity me.)
The first thing I will tell you though, is that dragons live there. The second is that many dot com companies are closing shop. And the third is that there is no hidden secret to success in the net than hard work, as in real life. (Is Internet not real?) The fourth is that the Internet is your shortcut to success. Do you want to find out? Why not visit the experts as you read on.
Two publishing opportunities are open to you on the Internet.
What are they, you may ask.
E- BOOK PUBLISHERS
Just as you have the traditional publishers, so you have the
E- book publishers. But be careful! Many of them out there don’t know what they are doing. And remember, you are going to do business with someone you don’t see. So you will have to ascertain the credibility of your publisher.
These are the categories of E- book publishers I have observed from my own personal experience. Which is your preference?
1.Targeted Publishers
These ones publish selected books targeted for special
audience. They publish How - To’s, books on Business planning,
web site, search engines, Net Etiquette, humor and others. If your book is on these subject matters you are free to submit. Otherwise, you may wish to submit to find out. So, why not submit now!
http://www.ebookstand.com
2.Submit, ready to sell.
These publishers would want you to submit your formatted E- book ready to sell. But the manuscript would previously have been submitted for approval. And you would not be asked to make any financial commitment in this case. If this appeals to you, submit.
http://www.booklocker.com
3.General Publishers
Submit your finished manuscript of any genre to these E- book publishers. Pay for the publication and go to bed. They will handle everything from formatting to publishing and promotion. Your book will even be available as an E- book or Rocket E - book, paperback book and audio book and in several, other forms (as you may desire.) Interested? Then submit!
http://www.1stbooks.com
But if these do not appeal to you, and you have the training and computer experience, you may play Stephen King — publish yourself.

Writers are often are greatly surprised or disappointed by how their work is changed when it is adapted for the big screen. When Irwin Shaw’s World War II novel The Young Lions was shot in Paris in 1958, the Nazi character was played by Marlon Brando. Ever the method actor, Brando provoked an uproar by strutting around town in his SS uniform, even going into restaurants to dine. The thirty three year old star was unsure if the Parisians ripping his clothes were doing it out of adulation or disdain. Like most actors Brando wanted to be loved and he took his concern to Shaw that the Nazi be made sympathetic. “You just don’t understand the character”, Brando told the amazed writer. “It’s my character,” replied Shaw. “Not anymore”, replied the actor.
Some writers grow resigned to their voices being lost. George S. Kaufman wrote the screenplay for the Marx Brother’s comedy Animal Crackers in 1930. He attended rehearsals and realized that nothing Groucho, Chico and Harpo were doing resembled his original draft. He watched as the director Victor Heerman was driven to distraction by the brothers showing up late, placing bets on horses, playing the stock market and never sticking to the script. Heeman literally threatened to imprison them in cages till they behaved. Kaufman took it in stride falling asleep through much of the tomfoolery. At one point the writer woke up with a start and shouted,” Oh my God! I thought I heard one of my lines.”
A few years ago comedy playwright Neil Simon announced he was moving from Los Angeles to New York. In Los Angeles he was isolated in his car all the time and he felt it is was hurting his writing. Better to be in New York where you walked everywhere and met people. His departure may have been hastened by writing and showing up to the set of The Marrying Man (1991). He got to witness Kim Basinger holding up the production with tardiness, temper tantrums and her much publicized love affair with co-star Alec Baldwin. Simon was humiliated when she held up her copy of the script and stated for all to hear,” Whoever wrote this knows nothing about comedy!” The Odd Couple writer was too insulted to help fix the plot problems and the picture bombed.
Some writers are amazed to see their words turn into movie reality. When Margaret Mitchell (1900 -1949) was a young girl in Atlanta, various relatives took her on tours of Confederate battle sites, describing the Civil War so vividly that she imagined she was part of it. It took her ten years to write the text for Gone With The Wind which she scribbled on yellow legal pads, shoving them under her couch when friends would come over to visit her. The best-seller was turned into a movie in 1939 and Mitchell showed up in Hollywood for the fiming of Scarlett O’Hara (Vivian Leigh) nursing wounded soldiers at the Atlanta railway station. The author was overwhelmed by the sheer vastness of the scene. “My God”, she told producer David O. Selznick. “If we would have had this many soldiers we would have won the war.”
Some writers have strong ideas about who should play their characters. Novelist Tom Clancy was initially unhappy with the fifty year old Harrison Ford cast as the thirty something CIA agent Jack Ryan in Patriot Games (1992) and Clear And Present Danger (1994). He also berated the actor for suggesting plot changes to his stories. Ford angrily retorted that writers who sell their work to the big screen have to expect it to be changed, otherwise don’t sell it. After the two films did great at the box office, Clancy hinted that he would be willing to bury the hatchet to get Ford to star in the next Jack Ryan installment, The Sum Of All Fears (eventually made with Ben Affleck in 2002). Ford demurred by saying,” Maybe when I’m sixty.”
Sometimes stars are better off just following the writer’s instincts. Lou Holtz Jr. was disappointed that Jim Carrey brought in a team of writers to change his lighthearted script The Cable Guy (1996) into a dark tale about stalking. Despite Carrey winning the MTV award for best villain, the movie was panned by critics, led to several executives being fired at Sony pictures and became known in Hollywood as “The Straight To Cable Guy”.

Too many sales letters are shaped into paper airplanes and flown into trash cans because freelancers write sales letters that sell their services. These freelancers have never listened to the quietly- whispered secret that says their sales letters should sell solutions, not services, to yield the best results.
Solutions are jewels; they shimmer in sales pieces.
Prospects will peruse your sales letter if they discover you have a solution (or solutions) to their existing or future problem or problems.
To write a “solution-savvy” sales letter follow the copywriter’s adage: write “client-centered” copy. Zero in on the prospect, his business, his needs, his problems. Then pitch yourself as the freelancer who can fulfill his needs and solve his problems. Crown your claims with clients whom you’ve worked for and specific results you’ve achieved on solving similar problems.
Here are four softly-whispered secrets to write a solution-savvy sales letter:
• SECRET #1: FOCUS ON THE CLIENT’S NEED OR PROBLEM.
As a freelancer writing for this client’s business and industry, you should know the type of needs and problems the client faces regularly or could face in the future. Zero in on a specific need or problem that is hurting the client’s profitability or productivity. (Note: prospects are more motivated to contact you if you pitch yourself as a freelancer who has a solution to a present problem, rather than a future or potential problem).
• SECRET #2: FOCUS ON THE BENEFITS OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM OR MEETING THE NEED.
Tell the prospect what he and his business can gain if his problem is solved. Usually, it means an increase in profitability or productivity. Maybe both. Also stress the possible consequences of not taking action now to solve this problem.
• SECRET #3: WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
Here is where you present your solution. First, describe the service you are recommending. A press kit? Direct mail package? A series of ads?
Tie it into the client’s needs. The client may have a new product to promote; he needs a low-cost marketing method that will produce lucrative results.
Stress your uniqueness to undertake this task. Why you and not someone else? What qualifications do you brandish and what type of specific results have you achieved for similar businesses with the same type of problem?
Offer secondary solutions that also may work to solve the client’s problem. These secondary solutions also may be alternatives that the client’s competition is using; if this is the case, point out their weaknesses and emphasize why your primary solution is better.
• SECRET #4: THE “CLIENT-CENTERED” CONSUMMATION.
The closing of your sales letter should show the client that the benefits predictably outweigh the costs. If the client is investing $6,000 for you to write a DM package, the client doesn’t just get a DM package; he receives exposure for his new product, generates new leads and sales, targets specific segments of his market, increases his company’s profit, etc.
Secondly, recommend a call-for-action schedule. Tell the client when you’re available, how long the project will take, and when he can expect it by.
Here’s a list of common solutions that clients often seek.
Your solution is the:
- least expensive
- best value
- most reliable
- most advanced
Your solution offers:
- the most flexibility
- the highest return for the client’s investment
- the highest quality
- the most competent controls to measure results
- Your solution saves time
- Your solution will produce the highest customer/client satisfaction
- Your solution eliminates or automates the most labor-intensive operations
- Your solution profits on new or emerging trends

What is the big deal with wine? Every time that I go to a big party and there arebunch of wine drinkers, I instantly wonder what kind of a place did I wonder into? I don’t really like the taste of wine, and most of all I don’t really care for the candor or discussion that the wine drinkers usually is engaged in. No matter where you are in the world, the wine drinkers are sticking together. I went to a party a few days ago and I encountered some of the wine drinkers. They kept pushing their wine in me, and I wanted nothing to do with it. I like liquor for instance Jack Daniels. I don’t drink wine becauseI hate the taste of it. It’s expensive and for some reason, it requires a special glass. Like it is really so good that it’s too good for a regular glass. The other thing is that it will take you forever to get drunk, which is the real reason for drinking the stuff in the first place. Wine also leaves your teeth stained, and strange colored. If you happen to spill some of the wine on the carpet… forget about it. The carpet is ruined. Red wine is the worst thing to try to get out of the carpet. Soda water, or oxyclean? The choice is yours, but just remember that either one is going to be really hard to get out. If the carpet is one of your concerns, then you should be drinking and spilling either water or beer. Vodka is ok too. Just don’t drink the red wine while standing over carpet. It can lead to disaster.
For Beginners: Ten Ways to Prepare to Get Published
(Skip directly to ten for the fastest shortcut!)
By Jill Nagle
Like any field, excellent writing requires study, practice and mentorship. Very few successful authors ever published their first draft of their first work. Nearly all had to expend considerable effort to improve their craft. Here are some ways to prepare for that moment of publication. These tips also help keep you on your toes after publication for better and better writing results as your career develops.
1) Read, read, read in your field. You can never read too much when you’re trying to excel as a writer. Reading in your field helps you develop a discerning eye. You need this discerning eye for when you step back and look at your own work.
2) Cultivate role models. Know who the top-selling authors are in your field. Find out more about them. How did they get to where they are? Do searches in the Internet (available in most libraries-ask your librarian how to use a search engine) for information about particular authors whose careers you admire. Let your role models inspire rather than daunt you. There is no competition, only inspiration, potential teachers and opportunities for cooperation. That author you envy this year may be writing a blurb for your first novel next year.
3) Research your markets. If you want to publish in periodicals, whether literary fiction, journalistic writing, or anything else, realize publication standards serve a purpose other than to frustrate new authors.
4) Take classes. Many cities offer writing classes through community colleges or local writing groups. Online writing classes are popping up everywhere. If possible, choose a writing teacher who has published in a field you’d like to enter. Even better, find someone you already consider a mentor. Not every published author has what it takes to offer beginning writers what they need, but many do.
5) Join or start a writer’s group in your area. We teach best what we most need to learn. There is no better way to improve your own writing than to help others with theirs.
6) Find a writing buddy with whom to check in on a regular basis. The two of you can be each others’ inspiration, accountability market, guidepost and reality check. Having structure and someone to check in with may help you look forward to your otherwise lonely writing sessions.
7) Play with changing voices. Copy other writers you admire. How does that feel? Pretend you suddenly got an injection of creativity serum or I.Q. booster, then write like mad for ten minutes. What happens to the quality of your words? Is this a possible new direction for you? As creative and intelligent beings, we have so much more within us than we could ever dream.
Accept the reality of rewriting. Unlike other professions who get to rest on their milestones, for writers, a completed manuscript often represents a beginning. The best writing comes after lots of rewriting, even for seasoned authors. You needn’t throw any of it away, but not every sentence belongs in every work. Save the scraps, but don’t get attached to where they go, or the integrity of your project will suffer.
9) Get clear on what you want out of getting published. Many writers move forward without knowing where they want to wind up. As a teacher once told me, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.” The answer to what you want out of getting published will help you determine the best route to take. And in publishing, those routes are many and varied. You can use our Twenty Questions as a self-help guide.
10) If what you want is to get published in the least amount of time, considering hiring a ghostwriter. An extremely common but rarely discussed practice, many successful authors talk to ghostwriters, who put their skills to work on an author’s behalf. Although some such ghostwriters get a cover credit, many do not, hence the “ghost” terminology. If you have more money than time or inclination to toil, ghostwriting may be the option for you.
