So You Want To Be A Writer? New radio show to get you started
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book, Interviews, podcasts, The writing business on September 29, 2014
Every week, my bookseller friend Peter Snell gets customers who ask him nervously: 'how do I write' and 'how do I get published'? Sometimes they give him manuscripts or book proposals. I get emails with the same questions.
So we decided to team up for a series of shows for Surrey Hills Radio. If you're a regular on this blog, you're probably beyond starter-level advice, but if you're feeling your way, or your friends or family have always hankered to do what you do, this might be just the ticket.
If you follow me on Facebook you'll have seen the various pictures of us goofing with a fuzzy microphone, recording in the bookshop while customers slink past with bemused expressions. (Yes, that tiny gizmo is the complete mobile recording kit. It's adorable.) So far the shows have been available only at the time of broadcast on Surrey Hills Radio (Wed afternoons at 2pm BST), but the studio guys have now made podcasts so you can listen whenever you want. Shows in the back catalogue have covered
- giving yourself permission to write
- establishing a writing habit
- thinking like a writer
- getting published 101
- how to self-publish.
This week's show will be on planning a non-fiction book and the show after that will be outlining a novel – and will also include sneak peeks of the advice I've been cooking up for my third Nail Your Novel, on plot. So you want to be a writer? We have the inside knowledge. Do drop by.

The gap in your narrative, the scene you're avoiding – stop and brainstorm!
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book on September 21, 2014
I was editing a manuscript recently and came across a number of scenes that were summarised instead of shown in detail. In some cases this was a good call, but others made me wonder.
Why? Because they looked like they had the potential to be significant.
I'm not going to tell you the true details, of course, so this is a paraphrase. Broadly speaking, the characters have formed a new business venture. If it succeeds, it gives the narrator a new start in life. Also there's a romance that will be threatened, because the girlfriend wants to settle somewhere else. The business makes this more tricky. Yet the writer summarised this period of preparation and change.
It's fair enough to fast forward if there was nothing interesting to show. But during those hours, the characters are playing unfamiliar roles, and getting closer to their hopes and dreams. Relationships will change because of the responsibilities. Tensions will be growing. I said to my client: are you sure there is nothing interesting in these scenes? Do you really want to leave them out? To me, they're gaps in the narrative.
Mea culpa
I've often been guilty of this myself. I'll be working through my outline and I'll find a section where I've glossed over a set of events, not imagining they might hold important developments. I hadn't given them a moment's thought, but as I write, I detect this is leaving an unacceptable hole, disconnecting the reader from the characters' arcs.
However, I don't know what to write in these scenes. I certainly don't know what might make the scene interesting. So what do I do? Apply backside to seat, start the fingers and let the characters guide me.
Some of my most satisfying scenes were born this way. It might be a good campfire moment, a small-hours conversation that turns surprisingly confidential. It might be a time to have an argument, confess some back story or blurt out something unwise because a character is ratty and tired. There might be a switch in a character's attitude, a hardening of resolve, a feeling that this venture is committing my people to a disastrous path.
I start by writing any old nonsense and look for the point where the significance begins to grow. I might cut 90% of it later, but some part of this new material is usually valuable. And if I'd let myself summarise, I'd never have found it.
Gaps in research
Another reason I might dodge writing a scene like this is because, well, I didn't do the homework. I have no idea what the practicalities of the situation would be. You'll probably agree that's a lame reason to leave a scene out, and might shortchange the reader. Writer, get thyself to Wikipedia.
Not all summary is bad!
Summary can be good, of course. You have to condense sometimes. But if you're summarising scenes only because you find it too difficult to jump into them, or you hadn't thought what they might contain, or you don't have the knowledge to write them, don't assume the story doesn't need them. Get in and start exploring. You might be surprised.

How to fix a plot hole
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book on July 13, 2014
I have bought your book, Nail Your Novel, and it has been really helpful. I was having a blast. Loving my characters, villains, setting, plot. But after 70.000 words I have a huge abyss in my story, I hit this blank between the middle of act II and the climax. Everything before and after that is just fine, but it seems that no matter what I do, I can't resolve this blank spot.
Eric Alatza, first-time writer, Brazil. (Oh my: Brazil. I know the web is world wide so this shouldn't give us pause, not for even a picosecond. Especially as you might be reading this in Brazil too. But it reminds me, in London, how much I appreciate that self-publishing and social media lets us reach …. anywhere. #momentofawe #howmuchdoIlovetechnology)
Okay, here's how I'd attack Eric's problem.
1 Does your story climax really fit?
You're trying to join the end to the rest of the book, but does it fit? Has the story evolved beyond your original plans? Do you believe in this ending?
I had this problem with Lifeform Three. In my first draft I had written a storming finale, planned from the start, and indeed it had a lot of material I was chuffed with. You will never see it because it wasn't the ending the book needed. As I wrote, the characters had taken on deeper issues, confronted essential questions – and my original ending was logical but disappointing. So I nuked it – yes, the entire final third of the book – and started again.
I'm wondering, Eric, if your spider sense is telling you this, which is why you can't jump the chasm to the finale you planned. Ask yourself:
- Is the ending unsatisfying in terms of themes explored, questions posed, other threads left dangling?
- Are you forcing the characters in a direction they don't want to go?
- Will a character have to be uncharacteristically stupid to bring about this climax?
Is a new ending too painful to contemplate? Well, it costs nothing to brainstorm. Just as an exercise, cut loose and see where else you might go.
You mention you have problems with the story's middle. Is that because your ideas so far don't seem significant enough?
If so, ask why. The middle of act II is traditionally a turning point. Perhaps the story stakes magnify, or an event turns everything on its head. Mr Darcy proposes to Elizabeth, which surprises and appals her. Nothing can be the same after that conversation. Perhaps there are new alliances that change the nature of the conflict – as in The Hunger Games. It might be the point where the character's flaw, inner problem or true self first emerges as a dominant force – in Fahrenheit 451, the midpoint is where Montag meets a new mentor character. In the film of The Godfather, the midpoint is the scene where Michael Corleone commits murder, setting him on a new path. It might be a transformation that is subtle but deep. In My Memories of a Future Life, it's where my narrator truly surrenders to the future incarnation. (I tried to write that without giving spoilers…)
So is your midpoint important enough? Have you got that sense of transformation and escalation? If not, brainstorm ways to find this significance. (And allow yourself to think of solutions that might mess up your planned ending.)
3 Get fresh inspiration
As always, you might be running on empty. When I'm stuck, I go to LibraryThing.com and search for novels that tackle similar themes, issues and situations. I also post an appeal for recommendations on Twitter and Facebook. (I'd do it on Goodreads too if I could work out how.)
Dissatisfaction is progress
There is a reason why you're balking, although you may not consciously know it yet Our instincts are rarely articulate, but they are usually right. You know the rule about inspiration and perspiration? To fill a plot hole, do more digging.
Drafting is more than transcribing your notes
All the stages of novel-writing are creative. We're constantly triaging our ideas and refining them. Whether we're outlining, drafting or editing, we might find new insights and directions. Be ready to make the most of them.

The book versus the film – a tip to help writers fix an incoherent and sprawling plot
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book, Inspirations Scrapbook on May 18, 2014
I've had this question from Marco Viviani:
I'm stuck. I outlined a setting, characters and events. But when it comes to put all together, they don't fit. Every time I try to change something (aspects of the setting, adding or removing characters) things don't work. I tried killing several darlings (and reviving them),but the plot is still not making sense. I feel like I'm forcing a cat to take a bath. I keep seeing logic holes. I rearrange and new holes appear. I tried a lot of things (including the card game from Nail Your Novel), but I feel there is something I can't see, which is the piece I'm missing to put in (or take away) to make things work.
Oh my, what a familiar litany. You must have been eavesdropping chez Morris. My desk is currently littered with notes and scribbles about The Mountains Novel.
What stands out for me is this phrase:
'I feel like there's something I can't see, the piece I'm missing to make things work.'
So there are two things you are looking for: coherence and clarity.
(And what's that got to do with the title of this post? We'll come to that. But first, let's tackle coherence.)
Every time you try to streamline, your inner editor-fairy is telling you that's not the way. Sometimes we're like detectives following a hunch, and the only way is a 7% solution or strangle a violin. Just what is the connection that makes sense of all this sprawl?
Here's what I do – and it's not very different from what you've described. I muddle about with possibilities, subtract things, double them, make lists of pros and cons of a new idea, viewpoint or angle, let the idea settle and come back to it anew.
It particularly helps to return to your themes. Jot them down and consider how your plot events and character issues align with them. Perhaps your themes have changed and this is why the novel is looking too sprawling. Has it suddenly become a novel about 'everything'?
Sometimes you get more coherence by diving into the first draft regardless. If you have a scene order that makes rough sense but isn't perfect, start writing anyway. See what happens once you live as the characters and let them inhabit the book. You might find their experience fills those gaps and confirms your hunch on a level you couldn't get by analysis. Or you might see modifications you can make – rewrite cards, shuffle them if necessary, adjust your map as you go.
With The Mountains Novel, I have two big ideas I'm putting together that don't appear to naturally fit. That's one reason I'm not going to tell you what they are in this post – but in my gut I always knew they belonged together. And the further in I write, the more resonance I see.
Which brings me to my more practical tip.
2 Clarity
I'm currently rereading The English Patient. I love both novel and movie – but they are very different, even though they are made from the same characters, setting and story events. Reading the novel and noticing the differences is suggesting new ways I could use my own ideas – and they're all the kind of changes we might make when refining a plot -
- characters in the novel have been spliced together to suit the leaner lines of a film
- scenes that happened in the back story of peripheral characters have been reworked as bonding moments for the main players
- the scenes featuring the English patient's romance are very different and very much condensed, yet true to the spirit of the original novel
- the novel's climax is not the same as the movie's, where far more emphasis is on the English patient's romance
- the novel's events are more fragmented, less chronological
So find a novel that has been extensively reworked to make it into a movie, and notice how the demands of each medium – and audience – has reimagined common material.
Marco, you're doing all the right things. You may feel lost, but sometimes this takes a long time (see this post about how I write and here's the pics version) It's often frustrating, and you might feel that all you achieve is a big list of duff stuff. But you might not realise how far you've come. Sometimes I look through old notes and smirk at the ideas I was trying to shoehorn in but am now wiser about. (My favourite bookseller, Peter Snell of Barton's in Leatherhead, points out that I have been mentioning The Mountains Novel in enigmatic hints ever since I first walked into his shop in Christmas 2012 and I'm not nearly done with it yet.) But time and persistence will show you what belongs and what doesn't.
What would you tell Marco? How have you found clarity in a muddled plot? And can you suggest any movie adaptations that depart interestingly from the original novel?

How many words do you write a day? And do you have to force yourself? How successful authors do it
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book, Inspirations Scrapbook on March 30, 2014
This question appeared in my inbox from Adam Nicholls after I reported on Facebook that I'd managed 4,000 words of The Mountains Novel in one day. Adam DMd me, in not a little anguish:
How many words do you write per day? And do you have to force yourself to do it? I love writing, but it's work.
There are two significant points in this question:
- output; books growing steadily at a satisfactory rate
- difficulty.
How many words per day?
I asked this question of a group I'm a member of, The League of Extraordinary Authors. Romance author Melissa Foster says she has no difficulty getting 7,000 to 10,000 words written in a day and that she adores the blank page. No issues with output there. (But there's more to writing a good novel than stacking up the wordcount, as she points out in the comments below.)
Romance author Colleen Thompson says 'When on a publisher's deadline, I write 1,000-2,000 words a day 6-7 days a week. Otherwise, I try to produce 20-25 new pages per week. Right now, I'm editing, so all bets are off!'
And contemporary fiction author Linda Gillard says 'I don't have a regular wordcount but I doubt if I do more than 2,000 new words a day. I think of it as a chapter a week. It's more important to me that I should work every day on the book – research or editing. For every day spent drafting, I spend 3-4 days re-writing/editing. Drafting I find quick, editing slow. Once a book is under way, I expect to work most days.'
Ultra noir detective author Eric Coyote says he ignores wordcounts – 'because so much of my writing is re-writing. I clock time: 2-6 hours a day. Usually I work a couple of hours in the middle of the day, then a blast at night until 2 or 3am.'
Graham Greene, who was hardly a publishing slouch, would set himself a modest target – 500 words a day he was satisfied with, and he stopped even if he was in the middle of a sentence so he could pick up the following day.
Stephen King talks in this interview for The Paris Review about how he aims for 1,000 words a day.
And since you asked (or Adam did), I track wordcounts if I have a deadline, as when I'm ghostwriting. The plot is agreed beforehand and by the time I write it's simply a matter of enacting what's in the outline. I'd usually get 2,500 words done in a day, 5 days a week.
My own fiction is trickier because there's much more discovery and exploration, even though I plan, so wordcounts grow erratically. They might shrink, too, as I realise I can't leave the passage I wrote the day before. The day of 4,000 words isn't a consistent norm although I didn't stop there. By the time I closed the file that day I'd added another 2,000. Only time will tell how much of that I'll keep as I'm sure I was cross-eyed by the end.
Indeed, like Eric, I find it more useful to record the hours spent. With novels like mine, part of the work is understanding how to handle the idea. So a session on the book may produce no new footage in the manuscript, but several hours writing notes or reading.
Get on with it
Of course, we could research and tinker endlessly. It's easy to slip into procrastination instead of getting the writing done.
There are two main reasons why we might dither for ever:
- we can't immerse
- we're worried about getting it wrong – the inner critic
Where do you write? Stephen King in The Paris Review says he creates a 'refuge' where he can shut away. He also remarks that being close to a window is fatal because it's easier to look outside instead of inwards to the imagination.
I posted last week about getting into the zone, using music. Writing tutor and suspense author James Scott Bell explains in this post how he subscribes to the oft-repeated philosophy of writing when he feels inspired, and making sure this happens at the same time every morning. Yes, be brutal with your muse.
Don't lose contact with the book
A surprising number of writers feel a stab of stage fright before they sit down with their novel. I do myself, but only if I've had to leave the manuscript for more than a few days. The more I keep my contact with the book warm, the more I feel comfortable to venture back inside it. It helps that I'm drawing on the experience that the other novels worked in the end. What if you don't yet have that or for some reason that isn't enough?
Warm up the writing engine
Some writers favour freewriting exercises. Freewriting is basically splurging onto the page or screen, regardless of grammar, spelling, quality or any other critical issue. The point is to remove inhibitions and let the ideas flow, to connect with your creativity. Famous exponents include Natalie Goldberg in Writing Down The Bones, Julia Cameron in The Artist's Way, and another of my cohorts in The League of Extraordinary Authors, Orna Ross.
Get out more
In my conversation with the League of Extraordinary Authors, Linda Gillard had this terrific advice. 'I find the best way to stimulate the flow of ideas and the desire to write is to put myself in a situation where it's impossible, eg Christmas.' Indeed, this is one of the tactics I recommend in Nail Your Novel - if you're stuck, go and do something messy that will make holding a pen impossible. Make meatballs or go to the gym. Inspiration is no respecter of convenience.

7 essentials for writing a good novel – notes from the Undercover Soundtrack
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book on March 24, 2014
You'll have seen the posts here about my blog series the Undercover Soundtrack.
Over the years, the posts consistently repeat certain bare essentials, both for reaching the writing mindset and creating a good story. Here they are, and whether you write with music or not, we all need them.
To enter the zone
In front of us is a keyboard and a screen, or maybe a pad and pen. Whether you're putting on a soundtrack, closing the door on your favourite silent space or seeking the anonymous corner of a coffee shop, the first step is to find a way to delete the outside world.
Start the time machine
Whether we write gritty memoir or the most extravagantly invented fantasy, we need to harvest our emotional memories. Many of our scenes, dilemmas and storylines are drawn from feelings we had at important times with family, friends, loved ones.
To keep the pace
Stories aren't static. To keep the reader gripped, we need to generate a sense that the world of the story is changing all the time. For me, music is a useful reminder, because music does not stand still. There may be a new instrument snaking into the mix, a new variation on a theme, a creeping, evolving harmony. If this is going on in my ears while I'm spending time with my book – whether I'm musing or typing – I find it keeps me up to the mark – pushing for ideas that give this forward pressure.
And structure
We're getting more musical now. A song is not unlike a well-told tale. It creates a territory of familiarity – a pattern we recognise of verse and chorus. Then we have the second verse – familiar, but not the same because the background is more dense or the lyric more intense. The second chorus is usually more substantial than the first, and even if it has the same lyric, it packs more punch. And on the song goes, seeking a climax.
And elegance
For all its variation, a song is tightly disciplined. It develops by adding only what belongs. As story writers we can splash about in ideas, locations, settings, characters and events, but the more they align with the home territory (or exquisitely contrast with it), the more they will seem to belong in one piece.
And contrast
In a piece of music, there might be a breakdown, where most of the elements are subtracted, perhaps leaving only the drum track or the melody at great distance. Breaks are important for a reader too; perhaps a campfire scene, a time out from the pressure to let the reader breathe before the tension comes flying back.
To calm the inner editor
Novels are huge and often daunting. Getting from beginning to end requires persistence, and we always find our confidence tested. Many of my Undercover Soundtrack guests report that music is an essential companion in this. It helps us believe more in ourselves, our story, our characters, our world – and in our ability to finish.
How about you? What essentials would you add? And if music isn't your aide of choice, is there something you use to get a novel finished?

Planning your story – a checklist for success: and win Nail Your Novel in print!
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book on March 4, 2014
I could have called this post 'pantsing – a capsule wardrobe', but along with novel-nailing that might have been a metaphor too far.
Some writers plan to the ennnnnth degree. Before they write, they prepare a trunkload of ideas, route maps and background. Then we have the scribblers who travel light. Just the barest plot twist, perhaps a skinnily-honed last line or a little black denouement. (Actually, I'm warming to this wardrobe theme.)
So if you're in the former category, what mustn't you forget? And if the latter, what's the bare minimum you can get away with?
Today I'm at a festival called Chapter Book Challenge, a month-long event that aims to galvanise writers to write a chapter book in just a month. I'm zoning in on the essentials for the drafting process – and as an added bonus, commenters on the post (THAT post, not this one!) will get entered into a draw to win a paperback copy of Nail Your Novel, original flavour, which is packed with essentials for getting you from first idea to final draft.

7 stages of writing a book – video discussion at IndieReCon
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Interviews, podcasts on February 25, 2014
Do you need help to get your novel started or finished? Four of us experienced scribblers talk about how we stay creative through the tough times and reveal our secrets for drafting, fixing and finishing, not to mention keeping our confidence. Solutions include running, composing music, meditation and lying on the floor scribbling on sheets of A4 using the hand you don't normally write with.

Finished my novel… where do I find the next idea?
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book, Inspirations Scrapbook on February 2, 2014
'I like Nail Your Novel,' said Lauren Orbison to me on Twitter recently (which was nice). 'But you now need to write Nail Your Second Novel. It's tough sometimes to get back to writing after finishing something.'
I understand what she means. First novels are usually written over many years. We might put more time, work and learning into it than we ever dreamed we could put into one project – short of actually rearing the next generation. Then suddenly, the novel's done, it's out and we're wondering: how did I do it?
I've certainly felt like this. One minute, I'm stealing time to be with a book that has become as familiar as an old friend, refining to get the depth and finish I want. No other phase for me is so rewarding. I'm understanding my material. I have a book, for sure, at last. It reminds me of when I was at plays at school. In the final rehearsals we'd be adding refinement on refinement, amazing ourselves at how inventive we were being. The shambolic months were behind us.
Then it's over. On the one hand, my novel is out in the world as a finished piece. Readers might be asking what's next (bless them). And what have I got? Something much rougher, perhaps – to me – offensively so.
This, I think, is what Lauren is talking about. Some writers find it blocks them completely.
I've learned the way to deal with this is to get another novel to a confident state before the mature one sets sail. I know that if I get to the end of The Mountains Novel and I haven't got a serious contender for Next Novel, I will be severely fretful and will rail at the muses for abandoning me. But The Mountains Novel will need periods of enforced rest after each draft and that's when I'll get developing the next one. Could be The Flying Novel, The Venice Novel, or – as I've had a few other ideas arrive – Someothernovel entirely.
So far, so good.
No plan?
But what if you've completed the one novel you've spent years on, and you haven't started incubating another? What if that first idea started so long ago that you've forgotten how you ever got it?
Or what if you have ideas but they don't excite you? I have various plots I've thought of, but I don't feel moved to write them. I'm missing the ingredient that will make me want to quarry them – because I haven't found the theme or idea I want to take to them. They're clay without a soul.
First of all, if you're feeling so emptied, you can't create. Go and stoke your imagination. Your first idea probably came to you out of the blue, while you were following something you were interested in. So read books and do things just because you want to, no ulterior motive of research. You can't force yourself to have a great idea any more than you can will yourself to fall in love. But you can flirt with things that could bite back (in a good way).
If you're still frustrated because you're not actually 'working on' something, make this period of exploration into a project. Set yourself a target to read x number of novels, y number of non-fiction books, or have a brief sabbatical at an evening class so that you feel like you're completing something. Think of it as an appointment with your muse. If you're really desperate, read something you're guaranteed not to like. The chances are, you'll rile yourself so much you'll be bursting ideas in no time.
And next time, don't wait until the first novel is over before you work on the second. (There's plenty more about developing ideas in Nail Your Novel, whether you're on debut tome or umpteenth…)
Thanks for the pic operation_Janet

Hi everyone ... I have been lurking for sometime and recently signed up. You all do amazing amazing work and I hope to be half that good some day.
I am brand new to cake making/decorating I love it and enjoy it so much but have only been doing a few at home and for friends.
Anyway my question is .. I am making my first 2 tier cake for a party and it will also be my first time using MMF or any fondant for that matter.
Any absolute must do/know tips you have for a beginner who has had no training?
Also do you think I should just go with buttercream and smooth it out like crazy then decorate or should I try the fondant. I want the cake to be clean cut looking (Its a chevron style cake).
Another question- do I decorate then assemble there or should I put it together then take it to the location, I have done a 2 tier at home and didnt use dowels (it was a really small cake tho) but I hear you have to use those .. I am sooo confused and nervous about this and I just want it to look good.
Please please please I need help and I will greatly appreciate any help you can give.
Sorry to be so desperate .. but I could use some guidance lol Thank you guys!!

I'm an Iranian. I hope to answer your question about Iran and Iranian; since I heard that in most of other countries peple don't have a nice opinion about our country and culture.Feel free to share your opinions:-)I just have English learning reason out of this topic; so please help me to correct my mistakes.
Since the Islamic revolution in 1979, Iran has been too dangerous a place for Americans to visit. I like listening to obscene rap music, drinking a healthy amount of beer and playing cards at casinos. I believe these activities which I enjoy are illegal in Iran. The culture of Iran is so different from the culture of America; I believe that I would die from culture shock, if I were to visit Iran. .... :(
I hope there is a way to peace between Iran and Israel.
Aslo, I have B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, and this fall, Iwill come to US for pursuing my Phd studies. So, I think it's clear why this topic should be important for me.
I don't have a negative opinion about Iranians and the culture. News coverage here in the UK can be negative but it's just about the government. I think there are small minded people who think that because their government isn't getting on well with another country they should hate those people, but those people are not worth knowing.
I'd quite like to visit Iran one day. I won't anytime soon as I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be travelling there as a woman. I watched a documentary where women were stopped in the street and told off by government officials for wearing make up or for not covering up enough.
I'm interested in what most people think of the government. Does it feel like quite an authoritarian place to live?
Hi Steve, I should say that there are many rappers in Iran, and also you can by beer if you want even if they are illigal.;) But notice these are laws of governoment,and not Iranian people; many of Iranian have opposing ideas about the governoment.
It is sad that the mass media throughout the world don't spread the right word about Iranians !
In France, we consider Iranians to be a learned, well-mannered, cultivated, tolerant and warm people. We know the heritage of Persian culture in the country and there used to be very tight bonds between France and Iran. There still are many Frenchmen working in Tehran and elsewhere.
I wish the media would let the politicians work in silence and not pollute our minds with silly stereotypes or principles. Iranian is a peaceful and beautiful people.
Long live friendship between Iran and Europe !
Hi Mimi,I hope most of people think like you. It is really true that a large percentage of people in Iran are not agree with their government.Unfortunately, I should say that you read right! There are awful laws for women for their wearing. For example, if you travel to Iran you should cover your hair!
To answer you, I should say that Iran is a really high cultural country, you'll find people very friendly and polite, and most of them have high educations. But the problem is with laws and governors, which are make it a little hard to leave in Iran. If the government changes in future, absolutely, I will stay in Iran for my whole life.
Thanks Laurent, I hope this relationship between Iranians and European continues forever.It is really the fault of politicians. I loved your sentence a lot: I wish the media would let the politicians work in silence and not pollute Societies.I hope that people around the world check our history, and especially the history and relations of Iran with their country. For example, Iranians need no visa to go to US.
Every thing changes after revolution of Iran for an Islamic country which is not accepted from many Iranians!
Hello Ehsan. I am very fond of Iranians as I have spent a lot of time practing Persian language with them and getting to know them. The Iranians I have met are always courteous and patient and I enjoy meeting them. I have also read many history books on Iran about the Hakaamenshi and Safavid kingdoms...they are incredible. I also think that Iranians and Americans are a lot alike in many ways and I wish the media would show the rich culture in Iran to educate people. Ultimately the problem with our two countries is our governments, not our peoples.
The only Iranians I have personally met are mostly members of minority religions, and were terribly discriminated against, and in some cases persecuted, in their native land. I would wish that Iranian law did not accord members of minority religions lesser civil rights.
I did experience it that I met some Iranian at a handiwork stall in an exhibition and both of them made me feel you Iranian are very warm.The deep impression they gave me at that place is the fantastic handiwork.All of them are really at a high price and I think it deserve to be fancy cause it cost almost years to work out these sort of artworks,for instance,a fabulous picture in a woolen carpet,and so on.

Its an indication that they feel restrcted and caged in life, which means they feel like in a jail serving no purpose. I have felt this myself as the world is overly matured and one is no longer considered new and being put off with a reason.. So an intellectual claustrophobia sets in. It is not they who are at fault, but the predecessors including us, who have occupied, reserved and have laid a claim on everything... And we ask for rent, tax etc. as if they were born with money. So culprits are the parents who gave brth to them, but fail to sponsor their lives...
Well stated. Unsponsored lives.
Because we have a lot of things and are given a comfort zone that makes it so we don't stay on our guards. We haven't had to be introduced to tough situations and get spoiled instead. Because of that, if something doesn't go how we like, we expect it to fix by itself if we leave it be, but that's not always the case. Allowing that to happen, it makes being passive common. Soon we find that if it doesn't change, it'll affect us, but we're in passive mode.

Or at least, that's how I see it.
i think that some of the adults are actually children in their own right. They're arrogant and too selfish to see through the ways others see it.
Yeah, I agree with you. Just because you are labeled an adult doesn't mean you're prepared for the responsibilities expected, such as the influence you have on those your age, younger and older.
I don't know if it's because they don't want to accept the transition...or if they just haven't found the time to realize it.
It doesn't matter what the reasons are that they complain about. Teenagers are actually prone to depression and other issues because they deal with an influx of hormones that they can't control. You were a teenager once, and I'm sure you had your moments. I'm sure you would do well to respect today's teenagers and try to understand what they are going through. Not just socially like "no friends" or "not getting laid" but also biologically.
so what? that's a subjective experience. In fact, what if in your high school classes, there were a bunch of people who had those kinds of issues and you just didn't know it? How would you have reacted to their problems? I don't even think that the teenagers today are weaker, it might be that the internet has made it easier to see their issues as absolom has stated.
I agree wholeheartedly. You are an amazing person IndoSavior!
lol thanks.
I wonder if it is the same number of teenagers having problems, but the social networks/internet make it so much easier for them to share their thoughts, giving the appearance that there are more of them or they are more weak.
Be cause they are becoming more introvert with the grow of technology. They forgot how to be social and are very shy
Because it is only recently that suicide has been so advertised. Teens see people killing themselves, and they decide to follow their peers. And btw, you shouldn't be so negative! Just because people can't find a good reason to stay alive doesn't mean that they are pathetic!
Our ancestors had wives, families, children, and community. They had love. Those things are incredibly difficult to find in the modern western world. And that is why people are despairing and overwhelmed. Carving on their flesh, using drugs, lost.
How do you know. Can you somehow magically transport into somebody else's body and see and feel what they are going through? And also, how do you know that people back in the Revolutionary War didn't kill themselves? I mean, up until recently, things like suicides weren't exactly very well recorded were they?
The problems today are far worse than at any time in human history. If you cannot see that, then you are totally blind. Love is handed to very few on a platter. In earlier times, it was a given that the majority of the population had love, or can find it.
Nice roads, clean air, and food banks for all to enjoy, do not do anything to nurture a person's heart and spirit.
And how do you know these people AREN'T being abused? Just because someone is not physically abused doesn't mean they don't have a good reason. They feel like they are trapped and that there is no other escape!
Do you just have some disease that gives you no sympathy?
Being suicidal isn't the same thing as patheticness.
Actually things like COD are recorded all through history so yes it is. Secondly don't get so defensive what she is saying is very true. Teen suicide is on the rise and it is due to our young being too soft. They are not raised as fighters and survivors. In fact the majority of them are left alone to fend for themselves which is part of why they end their lives feeling unloved. But I am sure at your elder age of 18 would already know that right? being so full of experience and all.
You can stop being condescending. I respect everyone's opinion, but you shouldn't be so negative and rude about it! You can just state your opinion in a calm and non-offensive way.
So you are saying that saying people are weak and need to stop thinking all about themselves isn't rude? I feel kinda mad right now. I knew someone that committed suicide, wasn't abused, wasn't weak, and DID have a good reason!
She was being stalked by some guy that she had broken up with. He ruined her life, using the internet and other stuff like that. Almost all of her friends and family broke ties with her, and she had this disorder that sorta made her feel depressed.
you mean like the rude reply you made? .......... (Can you somehow magically transport into somebody else's body and see and feel what they are going through?) ......... you are just proving my earlier point about manners and respect, this is her post she can view any opinion she likes. Read all the replies and find out that your opinion is in the bottom 10 percentile. Yet you have the right to voice that opinion just do so in a respectable manner
Lmao you are so ******* hot!
They are stuck in the house on electronic devices instead of being outside playing and running. They are babied by the government instead of being disciplined for their bad actions. They demand allowance instead of being made to get a job and earn a living. They are not taught any of these things as well as manners and respect for elders and so in turn they feel like the world owes them. I call this Generation ME. They feel entitled and this is our future
They were raised too soft
drugs, arrogance, selfishness
the pursuit of happiness is endless thank god.
I agree with you!! People are too politically correct and afraid of hurting others feelings. Everybody is not a winner. Someone has to lose. That's what makes you try harder. Young people are rewarded for doing nothing
It actually astonishes me that more people are killing themselves. In fact millions are dying in slow decay due to being starved for love. But you have to look a little deeper and think little harder to see all of those.
Couldn't disagree more with those closing sentiments.

In the US today, people are raised without fathers, and often without nurturing from their mothers either.

They are often raised horribly deficient in relationships, extended family, support, and community.

And society has completely lost a sane and necessary standard of marriage, monogamy, and family values, so that tens of millions enter life confused and without any hope at all, because the only option for them to have their needs for love met is to participate in the ambiguous carnal pattern that mainstream society practices, which results in isolation and heartbreak for millions.

In other words, people don't have anything to fight for these days, and for many who do figure out that love exists and that it is possible, they then instead experience years of brutal unrelenting disappointment in their efforts to find it.

People are so love starved that they get companionship from dogs, cats, and phones.

Western society has less love now then it any time in all of human history. This is the reason for the ruined lives, the suicides, the drug addiction, the homelessness, the extreme prevalence of "mental illness" (95% of which is just despair and anxiety due to being starved for love), and the massive population of incarcerated men.
And I will add that the total absence of empathy and compassion and even common sense about these things in your comments here are exactly the problem I am talking about and the reason these people are despairing.
Nature's way of thinning the rapidly overpopulating human species? Hell if I know.
But natural catastrophes are just one way. This would still fall under "survival of the fittest".....after all, like you said, they are weak.

7 Rules for Happy CohabitationNovember 26, 2014 at 12:00 am
When Cohabitation is the Next Step in Your Committed Relationship
An unmarried couple living together isn't as shocking as it used to be. In fact, many couples consider cohabitation before they get married, just to see what life in a shared space would be like. Other couples define cohabitation as the ultimate commitment, and aren't planning to get married. Wherever you beliefs lie, if you and your partner are considering cohabitation, there are many things you can do to make your living situation a happy one. Here are my top seven.

4 Tips for an Authentic RelationshipNovember 23, 2014 at 12:00 am
Have an Authentic Relationship
As children, were were often told to be quiet—seen and not heard. We were pressured to fit in. We were taught that other people's opinions of us mattered more than how we felt about ourselves. We were taught to "suck it up," or "keep a stiff upper lip." Do you remember feeling suspicious of someone or something and being told it was "just your imagination"? Do you remember feeling hurt or upset by someone or something and being told, "you're too sensitive"?
Get a detailed relationship reading from Psychic Serafina ext. 6327 today! Click here to get started.
Our upbringings make it very hard for us to tell our truths—or true feelings—and have authentic conversations. But, if we don't tell our truths or share our true feelings we end up asking ourselves later on, "What happened?" I see this a lot on the line when callers want to know why their relationships keep failing or make them unhappy.

Psychic Red Flags: Curses and SpellsNovember 22, 2014 at 12:00 am
Curses and Spells Are Not Part of a Legitimate Psychic Reading!
Someone has placed a curse on you! You are the victim of a malicious spell! Does this sound familiar to you? It does to me and over the past six months I've had numerous callers contact me worried that they are under some sort of horrific curse or spell. And why do they think they've been cursed? A psychic told them! They may have thought they were talking to a legitimate psychic, but who they were really giving there money to was a person who took advantage of them during a vulnerable and very difficult time in their lives. These people aren't legitimate psychics; they're scam artists! Curses and spells are not part of a legitimate psychic reading!

1. They lure you in with accurate information. The scam artist gains your trust by luring your in with detailed and accurate information. When they feel like they've convinced you of their abilities, they move on to discuss the curses and spells placed on you. These people often do have genuine psychic abilities, but they use their gifts to manipulate clients and take them to a dark place.

Ideale is the French equivilent to the English Brooks, and they've been around for nearly as long! This Type Record 80 model is likely from the 1970's or early 80's, and came stock on vintage road bikes such as Peugeot PX-10, Schwinn Paramount P13, etc. It's very similar in feel and looks to a Brooks B17. This was 2nd only to the Ideale mod 90 in the Ideale line.
Very good used condition, with a bit of that "vintage patina" type wear. The leather is nice and supple, with ZERO cracking, splits, hardness, or other age-type wear. It appears it's been taken care of very well, and has a fresh coat of Proofhide. The leather does have a few blemishes (white paint? near left-side logo, shallow gouge right side logo, which isn't through the top layer, etc). Rails, frame, rivets look great.

Reviews for Facial Cleanser
Average rating: 4.5 out of 5 hearts
By Roh on July 28, 2014
Rinses clean, good for normal-slightly dry skin
I like this cream cleanser because it actually rinses clean off. Most other cream cleansers leave a little something extra that I guess helps moisturize. This one just leaves skin clean. However, it does not do a very good job of removing eye makeup especially if wearing mascara and eyeliner. It is just a good cleanser for my normal skin that gets a bit dry in the winter. My only other complaint is the pump: directions say to use 2-3 pumps but each squirt dispenses so little I use more like 7-10 pumps.
By Lynne on April 10, 2013
A lovely cleanser!
I love this cleanser because it is light and milky with a very soft scent. I am able to remove my mascara without any stinging. I look forward to trying more Kahina Giving Beauty!
A milky, extra-gentle cleanser based on aloe vera and argan oil.
