College can be a difficult transition for many students. To help address students' academic needs, many community colleges have started support services programs. Learn about some of these common programs and how they can help you be successful in school.
Many common myths about community colleges exist, but as they continue to diversify and offer cutting-edge programming, two-year institutions are fighting back against these long-held stereotypes.
The Online Education Initiative will greatly expand course offerings for community college students, while making the transfer process between institutions much more smooth. The Initiative has its critics, however, who decry the loss of local control over education.

My Comments
This is easy. If we were just dating, it means we wouldn't have been intimate yet cause I'm practicing celibacy until marriage (sex complicates things), so I would have to let him go. I would give him his space for a while and when I'm ready I'll take him back if the feelings are still there. I think by doing that, it would teach him a lesson that I won't except that stuff.
If we were married I would definitely try and work things out.
Lol I sooo miss these kinds of posts. Now for the question. I think I can handle a pain in the ass if there is love in my heart but if I don't love him and he gets on my got damn nerves then heck naw he's got to go! Ya'll know how it is if someone that ur in to does something you don't like you can just brush it off but as soon as someone u don't like do the same thing it makes ya blood boil and u be ready to hurt em?.... ok maybe thats just be lol Someone mentioned him smacking his mouth while eating and that automatically made me think about that Ustream he did when he was eating all that food and I damn there threw up watching him eat lol he eat like a damn vaccuum cleaner lol i was like "Damn u just gon swallow all them greens whole like that? Yea thats how u do it tho?" lmao
Good idea.
I can totally relate to the situation. I've felt that way at a couple events. I'm shy and quiet when first meeting new people as well, but I smiled and even said hello to a few angels but they just stared and didn't even speak back just because I wasn't with their "clique". It's ashame but thats probably the way that those individuals are on a daily basis but puts on a front online. On the other hand I've been to some events and have met some really nice Angels. Although we take on this name of Trey's Angels a lot of us are far from being angel's.

IVF Coming Soon!
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 11-25-2012 - 2:20pm
Hi everyone. My hubby and I have an IVF consultation Dec. 14th where we'll do our final blood tests and get my drug protocol. I think I already have all my questions answered since I've talked to the IVF lady a couple times now along with the nurses. I went out and bought about 15 pairs of new cute socks to celebrate, since it's the only thing I'll be able to keep on during these appt.s I've given up on IUI, but we're going to do our 4th anyway in December, while we're getting everything in the works to start IVF in January. So here's something I could use advice on from those of you who have gone through IVF.... I am currently in an MBA program with 5 classes left til graduation. I signed up for my next class to be on-line, starting in January. Do you think it's too much to take a hard Finance course while doing IVF? On one hand I want to eliminate stress, but on the other, I know that it will never be easy to finish this program... especially if I'm trying to finish with a baby. Any advice? THanks!

|Sat, 12-22-2012 - 1:34pm
Thank you Caryn! I'm hanging in there for the wait. I have no symptoms whatsoever, so I don't think the IUI worked. That's ok, I'm just ready to get on with it. Wish I could fast-forward to Feb.!
|Tue, 12-18-2012 - 11:51am
Good luck with your IUI! How is the wait treating you? Hopefully you're so busy with fun holiday stuff it's making the time fly by.
Some people are excited to start IVF but I totally understand not being excited to have to go through it. Sorry the antibiotics threw a monkey wrench into the timing. It always seems like something happens to delay things. Hopefully this IUI works and you don't have to worry about any of it, good luck!!!
|Sat, 12-15-2012 - 8:06am
Thanks everyone for the replies! I had my last IUI on Wed. this week and the timing and conditions seemed to be good. We also had our IVF consultation yesterday. The financial lady actually asked me why I wasn't smiling. Are you serious? I'm pretty sure I gave an aweful look for the picture that the clinic required. Anyway, it turns out that because I have to take an antibiotic a couple weeks before my next cycle begins, I won't be able to start IVF until February. I can't take the antibiotic now because I did the IUI and there could be side effects to the baby if I happened to be preg. I get really aggravated when something throws off my plan, so I'm pretty POd right now. Jezebel, keep me posted on your progress and good luck getting through all this stress with school and thinking about a baby.
|Mon, 12-10-2012 - 8:38pm
|Sun, 12-09-2012 - 6:37pm
I want to wish you good luck on your IVF. I had my IVF miracle baby on Sept 10th and I can't believe he is 3 months old already. I did 6 IUIs with one loss before trying IVF. Good luck!
|Fri, 12-07-2012 - 11:13am
Jezebel, I'm not cycling with you but wanted to wish you lots of luck with your cycle and your Master's degree =) Please keep us posted on how they are both going!

Dear friends, my name is Sandra Luis from Canada, i am into business,but it was not bringing out profit as it was supposed to, life was not what living cos things was bad for me financially, i have a beautiful wife with four kids to take care off. i sold my car and most of my property just to keep earns mate and still things was not going easily for me. so i complained to a friend of mine who said he knew a powerful spell caster from Africa called Dr ATILA who can perform magical money spell or good luck or automatic promotion in office, making someone love you back, spells to bring close one in jail or lost back home,healing spell etc.that help straightened his brother life from taking hard drugs. At first i was confused and doubtful, then i decided to give a try and did what Dr ATILA told me to do, to my surprise 3 days later things started going well for me, i got what i ever bargained for, my business was flourishing like never before, i now have enough money to take good care of my family and we are living happily,I thank His greatness .firstname.lastname@example.com for bringing my source to hope and joy with his powerful spell,well if you want to be a living testimony like me or interested in any spell casting you can contact Dr ATILA via this email firstname.lastname@example.com
I stumbled on this email address firstname.lastname@example.com few days ago, so i emailed him about my bad relationship condition, how my lover left me, how he was with another girl, so Mr Robinson told me it would take 3days to get my boyfriend back, i waited for 3 days, unbelievable my boyfriend came to my house asking me if we could try things out again. He broke up with the other girl and we rekindled and got back together, he now show me care and attention.

It seems the speed has been increased by a large factor, making the enemies move like they're extremely caffeinated. It's odd, to say the least.
There is no clear indication of where I should be going, so I kind of chose a direction at random.
You should add the old mode back as Arena more or some similar name- I liked WG because it was a coffeebreak game, not because it was an epic adventure saga. I know you might want to move in a different direction, but I liked it fine the way it was.
You could add a French translation. I could help you do it for free.
As i remember, F5 shows local area map, not global world map.
When you save in boss area, it might happen that current location map changes it's layout or boss appears in random position on this location. Maybe that was my own installation glitches.

The Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons has granted three-year accreditation with commendation, which is the highest level of accreditation for a cancer program, to Our Lady of Lourdes. Accreditation is awarded to facilities and programs with a multidisciplinary approach that promotes cooperation among surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists and other cancer specialists. Lourdes' oncology program received the accreditation following an on-site evaluation by a physician surveyor who reviewed the full scope of the hospital's performance and compliance with CoC standards in an effort to provide the highest level of cancer care. To maintain accreditation, its cancer program must undergo an on-site review every three years.

Outrage Over Taxpayer-Funded Soccer Field For Guantanamo Inmates
A soccer field planned for Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base in Cuba has many New Yorkers up in arms after learning they would be funding it -- while their own neighborhoods are sorely lacking quality facilities.
Congressman Peter King, Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said Wednesday, "It's wrong to be spending that kind of money on terrorists."
Earlier this month, the military revealed the new $750,000 soccer field at Guntanamo funded by taxpayer dollars. There are no goals on it yet, in fact PIX 11 News attained images from members of the Arkansas National Guard's 188th Fighter Wing putting the final touches on another goal in December 2009.
The controversial field is for detainees from Camp 6 at Guantanamo -- alleged terrorists from 9/11 as well as those tracked down in the years since.
"I've been there. I've seen these people on the soccer court and spitting at guards. It's a bad seed," says King, who adds, "To me it's an extravagance."
The military has indicated the field is for highly compliant Al-Qaeda jailbirds. The new field is being rolled out nearly a year after Seal Team 6 commandos tracked down Osama Bin Laden away in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Many believe the luxury of a new soccer field being provided to the prisoners is indefensible.
To put it simply, the hoodlums have better athletic facilities that some of the nation's top high school athletes in our own backyard.
"We are forgotten right here in Brooklyn, no one remembers us," says Dr. Michael Wiltshire the principal at Medgar Evers College Prepatory School in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. The school strives for excellence in the classroom and beyond. The girls track team has done both. They are one of the fastest squads in the country ranked in the top six in the nation.
They also have no athletic facilities.
"This is our hallway and this is where we normally practice. This is what we use as our facilities. This is it," said Co-Head Coach Nicola Martial.
Yet at Guantanamo, a new soccer field for the prisoners?
The juxtaposition for Dr. Wiltshire is disturbing, "That's really a shame that so much benefits are going to them, when we lack these basic facilities, like an athletic field, like a gym, like an auditorium."
Even more disturbing? The very reason the prisoners are at Guantanamo is due to the actions that took place just miles away from the school on the morning of 9/11.
"Right, that is indeed disturbing. That is indeed disturbing. It's shocking. It's appalling, that they're getting those benefits that we so well deserve," said Dr. Wiltshire, and added, "How can I appeal to them to give us something similar? We really should have something similar to what they have."
Stunned at how poorly those at home are being taken care of and the message being sent, Martial made a simple yet poignant statement, "That is something. I hope that they can give us the same time in New York City to spend some on these kids because we do need it."Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

The founder of Poundland is planning to open the Britain's first online single-price retailer, which he hopes will be up and running within the year.
Steve Smith, who opened his first Poundland store in 1990 with the help of a £50,000 loan from his father, has now bought the domain Poundshop.com.
The businessman, who sold his share of Poundland for nearly £50m in 2002, however could face competition from his former business, which is also reportedly preparing to open a website.
The 51-year-old told Retail Week customers would have to pay a delivery cost of about £3, which he compared to transport and parking costs for high street shoppers.
He said: 'People are used to delivery costs. My challenge is to make sure it works out cheaply for the customer.'
According to reports, Mr Smith had thought about a £42 minimum order value for customers, but this is likely to reduced to about £23 following market research.
He is also considering a 'click-and-collect' system which would allow customers to pick up their goods at other stores and shopping centres.
I think he will do well although we might have a few neighbours curtain twitching at the PoundShop lorry parked up outside when they deliver! ;)

- J4GG410 months, 2 weeks ago #2Show comment tools ReplyGreat idea, hopefully there will be some discount codes available for free delivery or at least a min spend as Ross mentions. I guess if your purchasing from poundland you will probably be purchasing a number of items anyway per shop.

Waterbury school board member wants to rename existing school after Hispanic
WATERBURY -- Board of Education member Felix Rodriguez has begun laying groundwork to rename an existing school, after an earlier attempt to attach a Hispanic name to a new high school failed.
In a unanimous vote last week, the Board of Education voted to lift a policy prohibiting the re-naming of existing school buildings. The next step is to create a policy and procedure for renaming.

Big Island's Kau Coffee Festival serving up world-class cups of Hawaii joeby: Maureen O'Connell
posted: Fri May 04, 2012 at 02:57 PM
The fourth annual Kau Coffee Festival is slated to start tomorrow in the Big Island's southeast district, where the beans are bringing home international honors in gourmet cupping competitions.
A few months ago, three Kau area coffee farms were ranked among the top 10 in the Roaster Guild Specialty Coffee Association of America's Coffee of the Year international competition for 2012. The winners, who will be serving up java at fest, are: The Rising Sun/Will and Grace Farms — farmers Will and Grace Tabios; Rusty's Hawaiian — farmer Lorie Obra; and Alii Hawaiian Hula Hands Coffee —farmers Francis and Trinidad Marques. The other winning coffees in the competition were from farms in Honduras, Columbia and Ethiopia.
The Kau Coffee Festival's lineup of events for this year has been expanded to cover two weekends, starting with the inaugural Kau Farmers' Table: A Feast for the Senses, which is set for 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. tomorrow. It will be held at Kalaekilohana Bed and Breakfast on South Point Road in Naalehu. This culinary event will spotlight Kau resident chef Morgan Starr of Mi's Italian Bistro in Captain Cook, who will prepare a locally sourced, five-course dinner followed by a coffee and dessert bar featuring Kau coffee prepared four different ways. For information about tickets, click here.
Another new event, the Triple C Recipe Contest will be held at 2 p.m. on Sun., May 6 at Kau Coffee Mill on Wood Valley Road above Pahala. Contestants may enter cookie, cracker and candy categories. The contest is free to entrants and attendees, with limited tastings. For more information about he contest, click here.
The rest of the fest — to be held once again in Pahala town at the Pahala Community Center — is set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sat. May 12. It will feature coffee-infused foods, music and cultural performances, visits to coffee farms and, of course, many opportunities to sample Kau coffees. Among the highlights: Kau Coffee Hoolaulea, at which attendees may sample Kau coffees prepared in a wide variety of brewing methods while chatting with 2011 U.S. Barista champion Pete Licata. For a full schedule of the day's events, click here.
Interested in learning more about the coffee biz? Kau Coffee College will return to the fest this year, 9 a.m. to noon on Sun., May 13. For more information about the event's educational offerings, click here.

LAPD Westlake shooting: was deadly force necessary?
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
A memorial is set up following the fatal shooting of Manuel Jaminez as officers from the Los Angeles Police Department patrol following clashes with protestors, on Sept. 7, 2010 in Los Angeles.
It's the moment every cop dreads—but every cop has to be prepared to face. Police officers responded to a call last Sunday in Westlake that a man was wielding a knife and threatening passers-by. Manuel Jamines, 37, a Guatemala-born day laborer, allegedly refused the officers' calls to drop the knife. He was then shot by Officer Frank Hernandez, a 13-year veteran. There were community protests over the shooting. Was Jamines really so much of a threat that deadly force was necessary? What kind of training can help assure that loss of life is minimized? And can the public understand how such a difficult decision is made?
Shirley Jahad, KPCC reporter, she was at a community meeting last night with Charlie Beck about the shooting

Ender's Game

In 2012 a South Carolina teacher was placed on administrative leave for reading excerpts of Ender's Game to his middle school students.
A parent complained that the book was "pornographic," and also asked the local police to file criminal charges against the teacher.

Ender gives us an insightful look at military training of the future and examines questions of "just war" and the justification for genocide. The novel works best at using the mechanics of psychological manipulation and control to advance the plot.
Amazing book. But every single scientific concept involved is flawlessly correct. These are complex, things humans would dream of today, like artificial gravity. Simply amazing.
Absolutely love this book! Still makes me cry every time I read it.
DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST BOOOKS I HAVE EVER READ. The character development in this book was supreme. Must read for everyone!
Both book and movie was great, i was so surprise that the 6-years old Ender Wiggin was so intelligent. -
Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game was an award-winning achievement when it debuted in the mid-80's, and has since continued to cultivate a devoted following. Time and technology tend to date many pinnacle sci-fi novels, but not so in this case. Card's vision of our technological future, especially of our communicative inter-connectedness, was nearly clairvoyant. Similar to a book like Fahrenheit 451, subsequent generations of readers will recognize familiar elements relevant in their own lives. So for now at least, Ender's Game is ensconced as one of the all-time greats of the genre.
Another plus for the writing, an essential one in my opinion, is the near perfect pacing and tension building. Humanity is running out of time against the Bugger threat and Ender's being forced to grow up faster than perhaps even he can handle. This sense of urgency is real without sacrificing any of the storytelling. Additionally, I was twelve when I first read Ender's Game so the plot twist at the end was a genuine surprise for me. Mind blown!
Andrew "Ender" Wiggin's childhood was only ever intended to be a backstory, a supporting novel for what Card considered his more important work, Speaker for the Dead. And while Speaker remains one of his most notable books, it is Ender's Game for which he will be remembered.
I liked this book... it was very good and is a great example of how just because you're young, doesn't make you stupid or senseless. How you don't have to be older to be smart and masterful at things. Very good read.
A great book that splits off into two great series: (Ender saga - philosophy) (Bean saga - political thrillers). All are good books, but the original Ender's Game is the best!!
this is one of my favorite books! Orson Scott Card wrote this book amazingly. the movie is amazing as well but the book beats the movie.
Its amazing how this sci-fi world makes the worlds greatest mastermind a 6 year old child and this book tells the story of his life and how... well read the book.

"They found me through the ansible followed it and dwelt in my mind. In the agony of my tortured dreams they came to know me, even as I spent my days destroying them; they found my fear of them, and found also that I had no knowledge I was killing them. In the few weeks they had, they build this place for me, and the Giant's corpse and the playground and the ledge at the end of the world, so I would find this place by the evidence of my eyes. I am the only one they know, and so they can only talk to me and through me."
If you could make them feel as you can make me feel, then perhaps they could forgive you.

I destroy them."

SummaryAdd a Summary
Enderverse Bk1
After being attacked by aliens for the second time, Earth's government is preparing for a third encounter with the creatures known as the 'buggers'. Six-year-old Ender Wiggin, the youngest of three brilliant children, has been monitored by the military for his suitability as a potential commander in the upcoming war. Surpassing expectations, Ender is taken to interstellar Battle School where he learns the arts of military strategy and leadership, practicing his skills in simulated war games while leading an isolated and lonely existence of his instructors' design.
Readers will quickly come to sympathize with Ender; he misses his family, wishes for friendship and acceptance, doesn't want to hurt anyone, and above all wants to be a good person. Ender's deepest fear is not of the buggers or death in battle, but of seeing his sadistic brother's tendencies in himself, a dread triggered by Ender's strong survival instincts and calculated acts of self-preservation. As Ender is forced to defend himself, and his brother Peter struggles to master his own violent impulses, their sister Valentine observes that the brothers are "Two sides of the same coin, but which side is which?" (p. 238) Ender's Game raises the question of what makes killing a crime: the act itself, or the motivation behind it? Good fiction refrains from delivering a moral lecture, instead leading readers to ask themselves difficult questions, and teens will appreciate the absence of pat answers in this novel as they work out their own views.
Ender's genius is evident in his unusually independent and innovative thinking, and his ability to adapt to new situations. He is creative and elastic, pushing beyond perceptual barriers to find original ways of solving problems. As a leader, Ender wisely trusts his soldiers to develop winning strategies through play and experimentation. It soon becomes apparent to the reader why risk-taking children, not yet entrenched in restrictive patterns of thinking, are the government's hope to save the human race from destruction.
The novel touches on a plethora of topics ranging from religious oppression to colonisation. The importance of communication, perspective and understanding are underscored with the revelation that the entire bugger war is due to the failure of the two sides on these counts.
Trust, deception and manipulation run through the adult/child relationships in the book. The Battle School trains students to be weapons in a war for the common good, and treats them accordingly without indulging individual desires. Teen readers will relate as adults in their lives enforce decisions about school and socializing that are more in line with long-term societal values and expectations than the immediate wishes of the teens themselves.
Ender's Game balances the inherent excitement and action of battle with psychology and politics, exploring diverse, complex characters and the relationships between them. Set largely in outer space with gifted protagonists aged six to sixteen, this lengthy and multilayered tale will appeal to strong readers of all genders, especially those with an interest in war, computer games, outer space, or fiction involving moral dilemmas. The final part of the book is a moving meditation on guilt and forgiveness, with a surprising and complicated chance at redemption. Teens entering the age of independence and deliberation will take heart from the novel's message that whatever mistakes they have made in the past, be they crimes or ignorant acts of recklessness, the future is still theirs to shape.

Runaways and Revenge
An interview with Holly Brown
by B. Lynn Goodwin
The psychology of runaways fascinates me. Most are either selfish or
proactive, depending on what drove them away from home. Some, though,
like Marley, are lost and lured by the promise of a better life than the one
they left behind. She scrawls, Dont try to find me, on the kitchen white
board and takes off. Her mother, Rachel, hopes this is opposite speak, but
the reader knows better as author Holly Brown reveals the complexities of
Marleys reality in Dont Try to Find Me.
Shortly after their daughters disappearance, Rachel Willits and her husband
Paul are informed that the police have limited resources. If they want their
fourteen-year-old daughter back, they will have to find her themselves.
Desperation becomes determination when Paul turns to Facebook and Twitter,
and launches FindMarley.com. Rachel feels left behind, and Marley finds that
B., the boy who pleaded with her to join him, cannot offer the fulfilling
relationship she imagined. Family secrets and strained relationships co-mingle
in this novel that explores a parents worst nightmare in alternating mother
and daughter voices. Its a family drama for everyone whos ever had a child
and every child whos ever considered leaving home.
In the Q & A below, author Holly Brown writes about her inspiration, process
and experience.

LG: Tell us about yourself. How long have you been writing, what else have you had published, and what kind of training have you had?
HB: Ive written throughout my life with varying degrees of seriousness. I attended a few semesters of an MFA program in creative writing and then
left to pursue my degree in marriage and family therapy. Currently, I split my professional time between practicing therapy and writing.
From 2007-2009, I published two womens fiction novels that I dont love, under my maiden name. Then I parted ways with my agent as I wanted to
move in the direction of more suspenseful family dramas. It had been so easy to publish my first books that I didnt realize how hard the road ahead
would be.
I completed five novels before writing Dont Try to Find Me. I had an agent for one of the books and she wasnt able to sell it, and the others never
received any offers of representation. I have to say, though, that writing those books was the best training. No time spent writing is wasted; the
muscles are getting stronger!
LG: Thanks for reminding us that no time spent writing is ever wasted. When did you know that you had a story worth telling? Can you tell us what
triggered the ideas for this situation?
HB: I was listening to NPR and heard Tony Loftis talking about his non-profit, findyourmissingchild.org. His mission is to teach parents how to launch
social media campaigns to bring their runaway children home. The idea captivated me-first as a mom and as a therapist-and by the end of the day,
as a writer.
LG: Tell us about your writing process. How do you combine writing with your professional life? Are you a plotter or a pantser? How long did it take
you to complete your first draft?
HB: I work three 10-hour days as a therapist, and Im also a mom, so its definitely a balancing act. But I make sure to get in some hours on the days
Im not practicing therapy, and it helps that Im a fast writer.
Im a plotty pantser (or maybe a pantsy plotter.). I sketch out the overall arc of the story, and I always try to see at least 3-4 chapters ahead, in
detail. I put notes at the top of each chapter so Ill know what that chapter will contain. That way, Im never staring at a dauntingly blank screen.
It took me about eight months to finish the first draft of Dont Try to Find Me. Its been through at least five extensive revisions since then. But I
like revising, especially when its guided by skilled experts like my agent and editor.
LG: What do you do when you get stuck? Or what did you do to keep from getting stuck?
HB: I dont get stuck too much, because of the trick outlined above (the 3-4 chapter approach.) Also, writing books with an element of suspense
creates a certain propulsion. Its like I can feel where Im being pulled next.
LG: Thanks so much for sharing that tool. What tips can you offer for creating three-dimensional characters?
HB: Give your characters competing motivations. What I mean is, your character has to want something, but if they only want one thing, then that
doesnt make them very credible human beings. Were all driven by multiple forces. Exploiting that makes for interesting fiction.
LG: So true. What tips can you offer for escalating the stakes as a novel progresses?
HB: I think that your characters need to get in increasingly deep water. Theyre wading into the ocean, and with each chapter, they should always
be further from shore. Maybe they dont even realize they cant see land anymore, but the reader does. If you have chapters where your characters
are just treading water, thats a problem. You might need to tighten up your plotting and make something happen sooner than you initially thought, or
use a flashback that creates more questions than it answers, as questions propel the reader forward.
LG: When did you know you were ready to find an agent? Tell us about the experience of finding the right agent.
HB: After Id finished a draft of the book, I went back through and made revisions. Then I had my husband and a few friends read it. I incorporated
their feedback into the next draft. At that point, I felt confident enough to start querying agents.
I had a subscription to Publishers Weekly and I used it to compile my list of dream agents (the agents who had sold books like mine for good money.)
And I got very lucky in that the woman who was to become my agent, Elisabeth Weed, was at the top of that list.
I spent a lot of time on my query letter, recognizing that if you dont nail that, they wont even read the manuscript. Because a query is brief, youve
got to get every word right. Its not like writing a novel; its like writing advertising copy. You need to sell yourself and your work.
So I polished that thing until it shone, and then I got a bunch of requests to read the novel, and from there, I got multiple offers of representation,
and I (rightly) chose Elisabeth.
LG: Impressive. Where can people learn more about you, and what advice would you give to aspiring writers (other than to read in your genre and
write daily)?
HB: They can visit me at my Facebook author page (www.facebook.com/hollybrownauthor) and at my PsychCentral blog
My advice is to write as often as you can, which might not be daily, and to be honest with yourself about your purpose. If you want to write purely
for joy, then be joyous; write whatever you want, without the slightest constraint. But if you want to be published, then you need to accept that it
is a business, and that there are certain steps you might not want to take but will likely have to take (for example, evaluating your idea for
marketability, and then later spending hours things like query letters.) Every job has parts you dont like, right?
I would never advocate writing something that doesnt interest you just because you think it will sell, but rather, spending time finding the right
inspiration and idea from the start.
LG: Thanks for sharing such wise advice, Holly. Your book addresses some vital issues, and Im sure well be hearing more from you.
If you love family drama, runaways, or watching how others cope, be sure to pick up a copy of Dont Try to Find Me online or in bookstores. Feel free
to share your reactions on Amazon or B&N.com. And if youre in a book club, your members will find plenty to discuss if they select this book. I highly
recommend it.
In case youd like an independent bookseller to order you a copy the ISBN # is 978-0-06-230584-8 and the book is from William Morrow, an imprint of
Harper Collins.

Still trying to wrap your head around that 18-month, six-billion dollar campaign? Not quite sure what to make of Tuesday's results? Not to worry: for the next few days we'll be surveying the best and brightest in politics and the punditry to help you make sense of it all.
With Ramesh Ponnuru, senior editor at The National Review and columnist at Bloomberg View.
GQ: What the f*ck did we just do for the past year?
RP: President Obama couldn't run on his record—the stimulus and the health-care bill are too unpopular for that—and couldn't run on public happiness with the state of the country, since it doesn't exist. Instead he tore down Romney, in particular using his business career to keep white working class voters from turning out for him. To counter this line of attack Romney would have needed to explain how his agenda would benefit Americans who aren't already rich. This did not appear to be high on the to-do list for the Romney campaign or any faction of the Republican party. And so we are where we are.more >
