Anonymous asked you:
I'm thinking of participating in NaNoWriMo this year, but I've never written a novel before. I've only written short fanfics, never more than 15K words and never with any main original characters. Do you have any tips on how to get starting with writing original ideas as well as writing a novel for the first time?
If you're writing your first novel for NaNoWriMo, don't fret too much over it. NaNoWriMo is all about the word count, so use it as practice to write longer stories rather than higher quality stories. It takes a long time to get into the practice of writing original stories that are at a novel's length, so don't feel like you have to get everything right.
Making the switch to original fiction can be challenging for some people. Those who only write fan fiction may have trouble coming up with settings, characters, and worlds. It's best to exercise those when making the switch to original fiction.
For NaNoWriMo in general, I wrote a post on how to prepare here.
It's a good idea for everyone new to writing a novel to outline before they begin, especially for NaNoWriMo. To outline, inexperienced writers should follow some story structures since writing a novel can be overwhelming at times. Then again, writers of all experience levels may need to follow these structures and outlines.
Plot Structure: All plots follow the basic structure of beginning, middle, and end. However, it gets more complicated from there. Here are some posts about plot structure:

- The Monomyth or Hero's Journey
- Using Video Games to Write a Novel
- A Guide to Developing a Plot
- Outlining Your Plot
- Story Structure Spreadsheet
- Effectively Outlining Your Plot
- The Snowflake Method
- Seven Steps to the Perfect Story
- Novel Outlining 101
- Four Essential Plot Points
But how do you make a plot? Some people start with an idea. Some start with an object. Some start with a character. Some start with a setting. However you start out your novel is up to you. If you have trouble, try using one of the Basic Plots in Literature as a base. Here are some questions you can answer to make sure you have a full plot:
- Who is the protagonist? To have a story, you need a protagonist. The protagonist does not have to be a hero and does not have to be the point of view character, but should be the center of the story.
- What is the protagonist's motive? The protagonist needs a motive. This is what drives the plot forward.
- What is the main conflict? The protagonist has a motive, but there is conflict that prevents that motive from being reached.
- Who is the antagonist? The antagonist is the character who opposes the protagonist and the protagonist's motive. The antagonist does not have to be a villain or even a character, but should still have a presence.
- What is the climax? The climax it when the protagonist is put up again their motive and all the story has been leading to.
- Does the protagonist succeed or fail? The protagonist must either succeed in reaching their motive through the climax, or fail.
- How does the protagonist change? How does the outcome of the climax change the protagonist? Characters need to change over time or they'll be static.
Here are some posts on creating a plot:
- 25 Ways to Plot, Plan, and Prep Your Story
- 20 Master Plot Exercises
- Creating Conflict and Sustaining Suspense
- Plot: Developing Events in Your Story
Chapter Structure: Each chapter also follows a structure. This is similar to the structure of plots, with a beginning, conflict, middle, climax, and resolution. Within a chapter can be several scenes, so don't feel as though you have to end each chapter when the scene ends. The chapter ends when it needs to.
You'll want to outline the plot, the chapters, and the scenes (though you don't have to outline all of those things). Your outline can be detailed or it can be basic. I would suggest that writers find somewhere in between, as your story may change while you're writing it and flexibility in the outline can be helpful. If you write down every detail, you may feel like you can't change anything and that may lead to writer's block.
For my outlines, I make a chart. In each row, there is: chapter number, chapter name (if applicable), date during which chapter takes place (good for stories that take place over long periods of time), summary of main plot in chapter, summary of subplots in chapter, important information revealed, characters met, and what the antagonist is doing.
You can't have a story without characters. If you've never created an original character, now is your time to use your imagination. I usually start with a name and everything else sort of comes into place. Others have different methods of creating a character. No matter how you create your character, you'll need to make them realistic, dynamic, and round.
A round character is one who is well developed and three dimensional. A dynamic character is one who changes over the course of a story. Write your character as human. Give them flaws, virtues, morals, back stories, coping skills, hobbies, likes, dislikes, mannerisms, and more. My tag on character questions has resources on creating a character and my character development tag has resources on developing characters. You'll also want to avoid writing a Mary Sue or Gary Stu, as they're flat, poorly written, and unrealistic.
When you create characters, write bios of them and write down every piece of information you put in the story. That way, you"ll be able to keep track of them. Readers can spot inconsistencies.
When writing your character's back story, you have to think about how it will impact their personality, behavior, and thoughts. It adds depth and reality to characters, as well as the opportunity for connection between readers and characters.
If you're looking to publish your novel, it's best to format it early on so you don't have to go through giant chunks of text (though you should still look over it).
Here is a post on how to format manuscripts if you plan to publish traditionally.
Here is a post on how to format manuscripts if you plan to self-publish.
Once you have everything ready, the next thing to do is write. You don't have to write every day (though you should try if you're doing NaNoWriMo). Don't go back to edit while you're writing. Just go through it all and finish.
But how do you get started? How do you start for the first time? Here are some posts that can help: Getting Started, Tips for Beginning Writers, For Troubles Starting Your Story.
Have you finished writing the whole thing? Step away from your work for a while so when you go back, you'll have a fresh mind and you won't be sick of going over the same stuff. Now edit.
If you find that you hate your writing, don't get discouraged. If you hate it, you'll be able to change it and make it better. However, don't get rid of anything you've already written. You might want to go back to it. Your first revision will probably be quite heavy. Some writers end up rewriting the entire book.
Once you're done with your first edit, you're probably not done. Keep editing the major stuff until you think your story is good. Then go through it to look for small stuff like grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors.
After that, get some beta readers. Ask for critiques and consider more revisions if more than one beta reader points out the same mistake.
- Chapter Length: Chapter lengths are as long as they need to be…for older audiences. If you're writing for younger audiences, chapters should be shorter. No matter what you do, chapters should be around the same length throughout the story for consistency, give or take a few pages.
- Point of View: The point of view is extremely important to your story. It sets up the way the story is told, the tone, and the way certain things happen within the story. Choose wisely.
- Subplots: To add more depth to your story, you can add subplots.
- Title: You don't have to choose a title right away and you don't have to stick to it. My tag on titles has some resources and tips for choosing a title.
It's your first draft of your first novel. It's going to suck. Just write through it and finish it. That's one of the biggest hurdles to get over when you're a writer.
For NaNoWriMo, it's all about word count. Put your focus on that and go back afterwards to fix up the story.
A Guide
I've had an ask from an anon that's been sitting around in my box for a few weeks now. It's not that I haven't wanted to answer it, it's just every time I've read it, I've been unsure exactly how to go about it. I've even had doubts that I could answer it, even though I'm wholly qualified to do so.
The question was this: I have a character who had a tragic event happen and he's fallen into a horrible depression. I'm not really sure how to write depression without coming off as being just sad all of the time. Is there more to it? Do you have any suggestions?
After about three weeks, I've finally decided to answer. So, dear anon, I do.
Disclaimer: The following article is based on personal experience with depression (your experience may differ if you've had it or have it) and some past research. When I make generalizations, I'm correlating my experiences with my research. It is not an all inclusive guide nor is all of the information exclusive to depression. Some can pertain to other disorders as well.
You seem to have this figured out, but you need to understand that a single tragic event isn't the only cause of depression. It can be, sure. The death of a loved one or another kind of loss can certainly cause it, but sometimes it's not nearly that simple. Depression can be the result of a single large event, a barrage of large events (domino effect) or a lot of small ones over an extended period. What causes the initial sink is going to vary from person to person. And of course, what causes depression in one person is overcome by another.
Depression can happen to anyone. Even those who appear to have it all in life can be depressed.
The Large Event
Loss – This is broad. It can be the death of a loved one, a pet, the loss of a job, having either you or someone you love become permanently injured, the onset of a disease, the break up of a long-term relationship or divorce, childbirth (some women view it as a loss of freedom), losing a custody battle, loss of a parent's love in legitimate cases of abuse and neglect, etc. Anything you can think of that would constitute a serious loss in a person's life fits here and could easily be a trigger for depression.
The Domino Effect
When it Rains, it Pours – Sometimes shit happens in life. We all deal with things that go wrong. Unfortunately, sometimes major loss events happen in close succession. What some call a spot of bad luck is really disaster for others. I would refer to this as a loss of control; when a situation gets completely out of hand and you can do nothing but let it spiral.
The Little Things
They Add Up Fast –Now the definition of "little things" is going to vary between people. For some it can be as simple as a parent or family member forgetting their birthday, not picking them up at school, or missing their dance recital. Seemingly little mistakes can turn into an overall feeling of neglect if they keep happening. For others, it can be a case of favoritism. Perhaps your best friend seems to be favored by the coach of your sports team? Maybe your little brother seems to be the favorite of your parents and could probably get away with murder if he wanted to? Or maybe it's that overwhelming feeling that no matter what you do, the universe is conspiring against you? Whatever it is, that "little thing" isn't so insignificant to the person experiencing it. And sometimes, it compounds.
What Does it Feel Like?
A lot of people would define depression as a constant, overwhelming feeling of sadness, but really, it's so much more than that. There's a reason it's so common and so hard to overcome.
The first thing to know is that depression is cyclic. Everyone has their day to day ups and downs but for people who are depressed, those downs may be more significant to them, and more frequent, than their ups. As an example, the feelings of depression can last for several years, and then something really good might happen to lift your character out, and he may be happy again for a while, years even, but eventually depression comes creeping back again. The cycles are different for everyone of course. Some may only last a few days while others last for weeks or months.
So, what does depression feel like? Well, there's not a single word that can really sum it up because depression is a bombardment of many different feelings, symptoms and attitudes at once. When you're depressed, you may experience some or all of these.
Sadness – Yes, you feel sad when you're depressed. But it's not the kind of sad you can get over easily. It's not one that someone can try to cheer you out of. It's deep rooted, and there may be a genuine reason for it that others can understand, or there may not. It may be a sadness that you've convinced yourself is real when there's no logical reason to be sad.
Negativity –When you're depressed you may view the world from a negative standpoint. Every little thing that happens to you (like not getting that toy you really wanted for your birthday, or missing that concert you had been excited for because of car trouble) is seen as a slight against you. A lot of people would shrug it off, and have an "oh well, maybe next time" attitude but when you're depressed, that event seems like another item on the list of things preventing you from being happy. People who care about you may start to notice this negative outlook, but you don't see it as a problem. To you, it's normal.
Uselessness – Sometimes when you see the world as a half-empty glass, you start to feel like there's nothing you can do to change your circumstance. When you're depressed you tend to feel like you're useless because, through your perspective, you're constantly the victim. Everything bad happens to you and no matter what you do, you can't fix it. You don't even see a point in trying because it's just not going to work. This is often reinforced by actually trying and constantly failing. Instead of learning from that failure, it's just another shovel full of dirt to add to the hole. Even if you see a glimmer of success, it's nothing compared to the amount of failure you've experienced.
Envy – You may be incredibly perceptive to the things others have that you do not. You may long for change in your life, want it with every fiber of your being and despise those who have it even if they're perfectly deserving. You deserve it more. You know you do, because whatever it is will make you happy again, so why shouldn't you have it?
Burden – You may feel like you're a burden to your friends and family. You know that you're depressed and negative, and you feel like you're annoying the people close to you whenever you try to talk about your problems, even if you really aren't. You may also feel that the people around you are angry at you even if there's no reason for you to think that.
Disinterest – The things that once made you happy, being around loved ones, drawing, writing, playing sports, etc, no longer do. You may still want to do that once beloved activity, but just can't bring yourself to because you don't see the point. Sometimes you can still do these things, but it takes a great deal of internal struggle to be able to. The future goal's you've set for yourself may become meaningless. You may also just stop caring about basic things like cleanliness. You've been wearing that same shirt for a week? Whatever.
Loss of Appetite – You just may not be hungry for anything or you feel that cooking is a waste of effort. Foods you once loved, you may not care for anymore. You may stop eating on a regular schedule, and in some cases, stop eating all together.
Comfort Food – On the opposite end of the spectrum, you may take comfort in food and binge eat. This may result in weight gain which could further your depression because of the negative feelings associated with extra weight.
Low Self Esteem – This may be a cause or a symptom. Sometimes when you're depressed you develop or already have a poor self image. There's something you hate about yourself, whether it be a physical trait or a psychological one, and the inability to change it is frustrating to the point of sadness, even if in the eyes of others there's nothing wrong.
Insomnia – People who are depressed often try to find distractions. You want to stop thinking about how terrible you feel. You go to great lengths to do this, often forgetting about your own health and throwing your sleep schedule out of whack on a constant basis as a result. You may also be prone to all-nighters if you find the right distraction.
Sleep Life Away – On the other hand, if you're depressed you may just want to sleep all day to stop thinking. You feel like your life isn't worth dedicating time to, so instead you sleep, hoping that your dreams will be better.
Needy – People with depression just want to feel better. You may crave attention from the important people in your life. Or anyone else who will give it. You want praise, positive attention. You want to hear, to see, to feel something good in hopes of being able to pick yourself up. It doesn't always work, often resulting in an insatiable craving for attention.
Depression occurs in varying degrees. Sometimes people turn to less than favorable sources to make themselves feel better. Some turn to drugs, alcohol or sex, all of which may develop into addictions. Now I'm not saying that all people with depression are addicts, nor are all addicts depressed. But depression sometimes leads to addiction and when it does, needs to be taken seriously.
Suicide is a touchy topic for me, having known someone to have done so, but sometimes depression gets so bad, that it goes there too. Suicidal thoughts are serious, yes, but there's a difference between thinking about it and actually making attempts to accomplish it. Suicide is not to be romanticized in writing, nor is it to be glorified. It's horrible and it's desperate. Those who do it truly believe that they have no better option in life, that everything around them is caving in and there's no possible way to get out, no matter how much love and support they may have.
Dealing with Depression
The two major ways to handle it are therapy and medication.
Medication is a mixed bag. There are a lot of depression medications on the market. Sometimes they're a real help and sometimes the side effects outweigh the benefits. I'm a creative person. I write and I draw. When I was on medication, I didn't want to do either of those things and felt like the pills were killing my creativity. My mind felt numb, completely disconnected from the person I was before the pills. So I stopped taking them.
Medication isn't always the right choice and should be discussed with a doctor. In my case, my depression was manageable, so I tried the pills to see if they would help. There are people who are far worse off and may actually need the medication to function in the real world.
Here are some common side effects of the depression pill Zoloft (sertraline) that your character may experience:
- Sleepiness.
- Nervousness.
- Insomnia.
- Dizziness.
- Nausea.
- Insomnia.
- Nausea.
- Skin Rash.
- Headache.
- Diarrhea/Upset Stomach.
- Loss of Appetite.
- Weight Loss.
People with depression may also be embarrassed by their diagnosis. They may outwardly act like everything is fine around their peers and go to great lengths to hide their pill bottles. For your character, it's going to depend on how he feels about his depression. Is it something he's come to terms with or is it something he wants to hide?
Most people with depression realize they're depressed, and probably realize they need some help but getting that help is an uphill battle. For years and years I always told myself I'd go chat with someone. I never did and ended up working out my problems with the help of some friends who were good ears. People with depression are really good at making excuses for not doing things. Because some of us are stricken with that feeling of uselessness, we tend to tell ourselves that maybe we'll have the courage to do something tomorrow instead of today. We rarely do.
For your character, he doesn't necessarily have to go see a therapist (they are kind of expensive, which can be a factor). But if he's accepted the fact he has a problem, and is open about it, then I would expect him to at least have one close person that he'd be willing to confide in.
((You guys don't know steampunk until you head on over to this awesome little slice of heaven over here in Baltimore. This is a repurposed power plant that was built in 1900 that was converted into a Barnes and Nobel. It boasts a good selection of books, has the obligatory Starbucks inside with an awesome view of the city, but also has a really neat and informative aquarium that features wildlife you'd find in the bay! This is one awesome looking place to read. If you guys ever visit me up here in Maryland, we'd totally visit this Barnes and Noble.))
THIS BARNES AND NOBLE. THIS PLACE. IT'S AWESOME. And it's right by the National Aquarium and holy fuck I love the Aquarium and just…BALTIMORE.

Goodreads | Quote by Timothy Leary: Admit it. You aren't like them. You're not even… (via noneck)
(via slavin)
Obviously, I'm behind. That first gap you see where I didn't write? I was sick. The second and third? Pure procrastination, in all shame-worthy honesty.
i'm crying rn
I took Sunday off and feel all the better for it — I wasn't too far behind anyway so when I picked up Monday, it wasn't too hard. I'm getting more into the heavy dialogue of the story and that's really helping move things along — it's always been easier for me to write conversation over description for some reason. :/
Anyway, here's days 7 & 8 for the meme. :)
→ Day 7 - Where's your favorite place to hunker down and write?
My desk in the corner of my room. It's pretty slimmed down from where I used to write — this massively plain wooden desk I'd gotten in a garage sale and was more like a CEO set up in shape and size. It always got really messy because I'd use it as a shelf for laundry and school books and such. Now I have a tall and tiny little table that's actually meant for kitchens — just enough room for me, my laptop, and my dry erase board.
→ Day 8 - List your current, most up-to-date word count. Are you satisfied with your progress thus far?
13,202. I am okay with this word count only because it was above par for that day and the work got me over a massive bump in the plot lol.

Pope Benedict has restated the Roman Catholic Church's ban on women priests and warned that he would not tolerate disobedience by clerics on fundamental teachings. Benedict, who for decades before his 2005 election was the Vatican's chief doctrinal enforcer, delivered an unusually direct denunciation of disobedient priests in a sermon at a morning Mass on Holy Thursday, when the Church commemorates the day Christ instituted the priesthood.
The pope responded specifically to a call to disobedience by a group of Austrian priests and laity, who last year boldly and openly challenged Church teaching on taboo topics such as priestly celibacy and women's ordination. "Is disobedience a path of renewal for the Church?," he asked rhetorically in the sermon of a solemn Mass in St. Peter's Basilica on the day Catholic priests around the world renew their vows.
In his response to the Austrian group, his first in public, Benedict noted that, in its "call to disobedience", it had challenged "definitive decisions of the Church's magisterium (teaching authority) such as the question of women's ordination …"
The Austrian group that has demanded sweeping changes is led by the Reverend Helmut Schueller, a former deputy to Vienna archbishop Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn. The group, which says it represents about 10 percent of the Austrian clergy, has broad public backing in opinion polls and has said it will break Church rules by giving communion to Protestants and divorced Catholics who remarry.

Voyage Journal 7103 Day 15
Day 15 - February 8, 2011 - Whaler's Bay, Deception Island

Wind: 12km/h
Today was our last day on the Antarctic Peninsula and we were headed to Whaler's Bay within the Deception Island volcanic caldera. Our entrance through Neptune's Bellows (the very narrow entrance into the caldera is always spectacular and created quite a crowd on the upper decks as we steam in with massive lava cliffs seemed to close in on us on the sides. Once inside the caldera, we made our way towards Whalers Bay where we were to anchor for today's landing.
The landing here is not one for wildlife, but rather for history, walking and swimming… yes swimming! We disembarked and had a choice of two walks, one up Ronald hill, which gives a spectacular view of the whole caldera, including some of the smaller volcanic cones within the caldera, the other hike was up to Neptune's Window, which takes one to a section of the caldera where the edge is lower than the surrounding walls and when we walk up to the top we have a good look into the caldera and on a clear day, if one looks outward, you can see the Antarctic continent. I guided this walk today and even though it was too foggy to see the continent, the walk was a rewarding one. Along the shore side we encountered a number of skuas bathing or chasing each other, some even having aerial combat with an equally large black-backed gull.
The water's edge was swarming with many Cape Petrels, which are such beautiful little birds with checkerboard wings that look as if they have been painted on. The water's edge was littered with salp, which initially looked like small pieces of ice, until we had a closer look and saw these small tunicates with their transparent bodies and small red fecal patch. This is what had attracted the Cape Petrels who were feasting on these little jellyfish, although I wondered to myself as to how much nutrition could possibly be in an animal created almost entirely out of water. While looking at the salp, one of our guests also discovered a brittle star fish in the water's edge; what a beautiful creature! Sometimes, we need to look at the small creatures to really understand the Antarctic food web.
As we walked back to the landing site, the tide was dropping and the geothermal heat started to rise along the shoreline, with the typical sulphurous smell and steam created from the volcanic heat warming up the water. This was what we were waiting for before going for the "polar plunge". There were not too many takers for this traditional Antarctic event, however, those who took part and those who watched all had a whale of a time.
At 1pm we had to head back to the ship and get ready for our Drake Crossing, as this is the end of our Antarctic exploration, but by no means the end of the trip. In the afternoon, I gave a lecture on climate change, which always engenders debate, and later on Robin Aiello gave her very entertaining talk on her experiences diving in the Antarctic. As we are never at a loss for things to do on the ship, the Expedition Team gave a recap on Deception Island. As this was close to the end of our voyage, Luke's recap covered the differences between the North and South and showed us what culture there is in the South in the way of the 2010 Antarctic film festival, a 48-hour project where teams in different Antarctic bases have to make a film in the middle of winter with certain code words, characters and sounds. This year's included a grumpy diesel mechanic, a siren, mouthwash and the words "Where is my chicken?" Uli's recap came next and was a combination of the Expedition Team doing silly things during the voyage and was a feature of much hilarity.
As day ends on the
Prince Albert II
, everyone went up to The Restaurant for another fabulous meal and a nightcap in the Panorama Lounge to finish off another successful day.

I was feeling paranoid about that dark entrance to the other room so I made this to make myself feel less paranoid
Thank you Joj for taking the screenshots
Look at all the notes little ghost friend got!!!
(Source: ruinedchildhood)
This man is a rapist. His name is Steven James and he is not 30 years old. He is 43 years old, a travel nurse, and a pedophile. Do. Not. Trust. Him.
This looks like OKC so if you use it and love around Raleigh, stay safe!!
(This is actually the tinder application which is a lot easier to hide on than OKC)-Steven James is active within the BDSM community and the adult entertainment industry. He targets young, white, single mothers. (my family were not his first victims) As a travel nurse he bounces from hospital to hospital in the tri-state area and is known to frequent Raleigh, Durham, Winston-Salem, Statesville, and Kernersville.
He raped me for nine months from the day I turned twelve until my family moved out of his condo in winston salem. When I returned to Chapel Hill he continued to make trips to visit my family and abused me while he was here. In March of 2006 I disclosed about my abuse to my art teacher who contacted department of social services and the police. when Winston Salem authorities were made aware of the case they sent social workers to his home to ask him about the allegations. To avoid losing his nursing privileges he fled to Ohio for a few years until things died down.
He is extremely dangerous, armed, and has extensive knowledge of technology (including how to find me should he see this). I am prepared for the backlash associated with this post and its reblogs. I am prepared to deal with the possible shut down of my blog for this post. I am prepared for him to find me. He has taken drastic steps to change his appearance, including what looks like botox and collagen injections. I am wholly positive that I am not mistaken. You do not forget the face of the person who killed what was inside you and you never will.
I know that I will never get justice for what he has done and the subsequent events that followed my disclosure, but I hope that with this post he wont be able to ever hurt someone else.Thank you for all of the support i have received. Thank you for your words, your efforts, your reblogs, your thirst for justice.
Be safe, be aware, be critical.
Signal boost the hell out of this. This man is very dangerous. You could save a life.
and uh yeah

Pussy so good I miss you, head game so vicious. me my writing wishlist
there are few things back
home i care to miss, but you
know youre always one
"Don't discredit my
Feelings" he says while thinking
Of comparisons
like trash in the ocean
you float around
and linger long enough
to take away from me
and float back away
with no trace of
the destruction below
You didn't even give me time
To replace the old bouquet
Gifted from the one you made me leave
I didn't even have time
To put the roses in water
Gifted from who I shouldn't have believed
I have this shake now
I can't tell if I'm tired
Or still so angry
And even if I didn't blame
The marks and band aids
That have graced my arm for years
On the kitten we've only had a few months
What would be your excuse?
I wasted wishes on dandelions
I never saw them as weeds
Spreading across the lawn
The seeds planted quietly
Wasted breath I wish I could catch
Should have wished for perspective
Should have wished for sharper glass
We all have our regrets
"This too shall pass"
Like all the other times
I have thick skin from more than just heartbreak or insults
I step on glass in the back yard
Leftovers from nights of destruction
I guess it serves as a reminder
A trap to keep me from wishing anymore
The opposite of
Wanderlust, I don't want to
Leave your side these days
Here is a haiku
About you, I'm not sad cus
I really like yo
your sweat or mine
my pillows smell like late nights
you keep me awake in the best way
and i wanna use all our time
I'm sorry i feel too much
ill cry for the both of us
You got my head fucked up
Sober and feeling drugged
You're scared of nothing
And I thought I was safe
I'll crash my bike in the street
Just to get you looking my way
I'm sorry I feel too much
I'll cry for the both of us
You got my head fucked up
Sober and feeling drugged
You say you're a loser
With nothing to offer
Im broken by every excuse
Don't even bother
I'm sorry I feel too much
I'll cry for the both of us
You got my head fucked up
Sober and feeling drugged
I'm sober and feeling drugged
I'll overdose before I have your love

Forbidden journeys : fairy tales and fantasies by Victorian women writers ( Book )
7 editions published between 1992 and 1993 in English and held by 699 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In many ways themselves restricted to the status of children, Victorian women were less inclined than the men of their time to idealize childhood--and the children's stories they wrote often tended to be darker and wilder than those of their male counter-parts. As the eleven brilliant stories collected here demonstrate, these fairy tales by Victorian women constitute a distinct literary tradition, one startlingly subversive of the society that fostered it. Collected for the first time in one volume, these fairy tales and fantasies are fascinating for more than their social and historical implications: They are extraordinary stories, full of strange delights for readers of any age. From Anne Thackeray Ritchie's adaptations of "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood" and "Beauty and the Beast," and Jean Ingelow's fantastic novel Mopsa the Fairy to Christina Rossetti's unsettling antifantasies in Speaking Likenesses, these are breathtaking acts of imaginative freedom, by turns amusing, charming, and disturbing. In collecting these works, two of our most distinguished Victorian scholars rescue authors such as Ritchie, Ingelow, Juliana Horatia Ewing, and Mary Louisa Molesworth from undeserved obscurity. At the same time, Auerbach and Knoepflmacher bring to the fore the power of the shorter prose fantasies of more familiar writers like Rossetti, Frances Hodgson Burnett, and E. Nesbit. Five introductory essays by Auerbach and Knoepflmacher place these stories within the fairy-tale tradition and the context of Victorian juvenile and adult fiction. Defining the tales in relation to the Victorian preoccupation with mythmaking, they identify the astringent social satire and literary mockery present in each work. As entertaining as it is enlightening, this anthology ushers readers into a fantasy world of wit, perversity, and wonder

Trial Exploring Feasibility of Densification and Optimal Sequencing of Postoperative Adjuvant Fluorouracil, Epirubicin Plus Cyclophosphamide (FEC) and Docetaxel Chemotherapy in Patients With High Risk Primary Operable Breast Cancer

The rationale of this randomized phase II study is to investigate the feasibility of sequenced densified FEC and docetaxel based regimens in patients with primary operable high-risk breast cancer. Several phase III and phase II clinical trials showed the benefits of dose-dense therapy (Q2W) over conventional treatment in breast cancer, lymphoma and SCLC. The aim of the study is also to demonstrate that further shortening of treatment interval from 14 days to 10-11 days in FEC regimen is feasible and will not compromise patient's safety. The results of this randomized phase II study should serve as a basis for follow-up randomized phase III trial comparing conventional versus densified sequential FEC and docetaxel based regimens.

|Official Title:
|A Randomized Phase II Trial Exploring Feasibility of Densification and Optimal Sequencing of Postoperative Adjuvant Fluorouracil, Epirubicin Plus Cyclophosphamide (FEC) and Docetaxel Chemotherapy in Patients With High Risk Primary Operable Breast Cancer
- To assess the feasibility of FEC and docetaxel based sequential regimens given in dose-dense fashion (FEC every 10-11 days and docetaxel every 14 days) with pegfilgrastim in patients with high-risk primary breast cancer.
- To assess the safety and tolerability of FEC and docetaxel regimens including (febrile) neutropenia
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2005
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|May 2006
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 70 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically proven early breast cancer requiring adjuvant chemotherapy (lymph node positive or other features of high risk according to St-Gallen criteria)
- Margins of resection histologically free of invasive carcinoma and ductal carcinoma in situ.
- Radiotherapy performed according to center's policy and always follows completion of adjuvant chemotherapy
- Performance status 0 to 1 on the ECOG scale (Appendix A)
- The determination of ER and PgR is mandatory (immunohistochemical methods required; ER and/or PgR positivity is defined as > 1% of positive cells). Also determination of Her2neu is mandatory, either by immunohistochemistry or by FISH
- Age > 18 years and age <70 years (upper age limit based on the lack of safety data for this population).
- Normal cardiac function (assessment of LVEF by MUGA scan or echocardiography above the lower limit of normal for the institution).
- Adequate organ function (as defined by neutrophils > 1.5 x109/L, Platelets > 100 x 109/L, Hemoglobin > 10 g/dl, total bilirubin > 1 UNL, ASAT (SGOT) and ALAT (SGPT) > 1.5 UNL, alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 UNL, creatinine > 1.5 mg/dl (150 µmol/L)
- Complete staging work-up within 2 months prior to registration. All patients will have bilateral mammography, chest X-ray (PA and lateral) and/or CT-scan, abdominal ultrasound and/or CT scan, bone scan. In case of positive bone scan suspicious for metastases, bone X-ray (or bone CT-scan on spinal hot spots) is mandatory to rule out the possibility of metastatic disease. Other tests may be performed as clinically indicated.
- Negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) within 7 days prior to registration for all women of childbearing potential. Patients of childbearing potential must implement adequate non-hormonal measures to avoid pregnancy during study treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and endocrine therapy). No pregnant or lactating patients are allowed.
- Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial
- Before patient registration/randomization, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations.
Exclusion criteria:
- Metastatic disease (M1) or inoperable residual axillary disease
- Prior systemic anticancer therapy for breast cancer (chemotherapy, hormone therapy of immunotherapy)
- Prior radiation therapy for breast cancer.
- Pre-existing motor or sensory neurotoxicity of a severity > grade 2 by NCI criteria.
- Pregnant or lactating patients
- Other serious illness or medical condition:
- Congestive heart failure or unstable angina pectoris, previous history of myocardial infarction within 1 year from study entry, uncontrolled hypertension or high-risk uncontrolled arrhythmias.
- History of significant neurological or psychiatric disorders that would prohibit the understanding and giving of informed consent.
- Active uncontrolled infection
- Active peptic ulcer, unstable diabetes mellitus.
- Past or current history of other neoplasm except for curatively treated basal cell skin cancer or in situ carcinoma of the cervix.
- Chronic treatment with steroids unless initiated > 6 months prior to study entry and at low dose (< 20 mg methylprednisolone or equivalent)
- Concurrent treatment with hormonal replacement therapy: this treatment should be stopped at least 15 days before study entry.
- Concurrent treatment with other experimental drugs. Participation in another clinical trial with any investigational not marketed drug within 30 days prior to study entry

Well I'm about to head to the Bronx to go to the game. Being there if we win it tonight would be absolutely amazing. LETS GO YANKEES!!!!
God i'm so f'n nervous for the game tonight..I so don't want a game 7
we are gonna have to score some runs tonight,at least we have some hot guys Damon,Arod Matsui back..if we can get Tex and Robby going
No predictions from me don't want to jinx anything
Hope to talk to you guys on here later celebrating a27th Yankee world championship!!!!!!!!!
Let's go Yanks!!!!!
I wouldn't say I am nervous for this game. I think we have a better team, period. We are also pitching our two best pitchers, at home, against the Phillies who don't have Lee starting in either game. I think the odds are definitely in the Yankees favor. And from a statistical standpoint, even if the odds were 50/50 for each game, which I don't believe they are, the Yankees would have a 75% chance of winning the series.
While I am confident that we will win at least one of the next two games, that lingering memory of 2004, is scary to think something like that might happen again.
Please, please, pretty please just close this out tonight.
I can't take Philadelphia anymore. All these people and their hope. "Have phaith in the Fightin Phils" UGH.
WADR......Sorry, have to counter that Rocky Song....Thats a Philly song big time...every Eagle game intro. Some local boys will do the trick.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkBpRBrSVos
Yeah, this is our night, I feel it!
Alright boys - I just cracked a coldie and I am raising it - TO THE YANKEES AND VICTORY TONIGHT!!!
Anybody here?
o.k o.k no hits in the first but Jeter and Tex hit the ball hard..we will hit him tonight he''s all changeup tonight his fastball sucks
We WILL DO THIS
Pedro's fastball is tapping out at 85.
This ahole lineup better be sitting soft stuff. Good to see Jetter & Tex put good wood on the ball.
Andy looks good. Now the bats need to produce.

All of the top eight players (see below) on www.valueaddbasketball.com are among the Top 40 low-major players in the country. The rest of the country needs to hope Belmont wins the conference since they will go to the tournament regardless. If Isaiah Canaan and Murray State or any other school can upset Belmont, it would give the OVC two teams and cost a Middle 20 team a spot. Murray State and Belmont receive a double bye, but 3-seed Eastern Kentucky is slightly better than Murray State based on www.kenpom.com. To follow tournament results click here. Wednesday 5-seed Morehead State beat 8-seed Tennessee-Martin 73-66 and 6-seed SE Missouri State beat 7-seed Eastern Illinois 78-68. Tennessee Tech also received a bye as a 4-seed.

From Mae West to Miley
Thursday, August 29, 2013 2:59 AM
"Is that a banana in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"
-- Mae West
We offer this Mae West quote to add a little perspective to a world gone atwitter over Miley Cyrus' performance Sunday at MTV's VMA Awards.
If you didn't see Cyrus' act, you can watch online and see what the fuss is about. Or, if you're easily offended, here's our short version: Miley, the former "Hanna Montana" star and daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, prances around in what appears to be flesh-colored bra and panties and basically gives it the old bump-and-grind with Robin Thicke as they both sing -- to the degree that any pop or rock performers "sing." Actually, it's more like shouting, but hey, it's worked for decades for Mick Jagger.
She also does some nasty antics with a big, foam finger and sticks out her tongue a lot.
Much of the entertainment world and some audience members are shocked, shocked we tell you, to see faux sex on stage.
What does this have to do with Mae West? Nothing, except that if you take a look back even just a few decades, there have always been entertainers using sex to shock viewers and sell themselves. Each new generation thinks they are doing something groundbreaking, when in fact they're only the latest to create a scene.
Nearly 60 years ago, Elvis couldn't get his pelvis on TV. That's a long way from Cyrus and Thicke's Sunday night act, but maybe not so distant from Michael Jackson, the King of the Crotch Grab, or Prince's simulated sex in one of his videos.
From novels to stage plays to music and videos, performers are always trying to shock us to promote themselves. There's typically little new or significant here, and we're always mystified when people are surprised or offended. We guess when you have no sense of history, everything is new.
What's not a puzzle is why performers go to such extremes. Mae explained it decades ago:
"Virtue has its own reward, but no sale at the box office."

Dark Horse or Albatross?
Reading the news sometimes gives me a disorienting sense of déjà vu. I felt it again when I read that Ranbaxy (Gurgaon, Haryana, India) had recalled a batch of its acne drug isotretinoin after the US Food and Drug Administration found that the product's dissolution-test results were out of specification. Didn't this happen once before? Read more »
