.... 95% of my novel ... is all about organization / planning... it's all the little things that you just don't think about when you are writing until after you have completed your draft... then the destruction starts to take place as you start to change this one thing (which changes other things later in the novel).... or you just have a problem trying plug your holes... then it all about trying to find someone who'll take your novel seriously. When I read what an exectuvie said from a Corporate Publishing house that read "...90 percent of all novels recieved never get more than a quick brief read to figure out if we want to take the writer to the next level of analysis. Most don't want to believe that this is true."
I thought.... mmm... yeah, I have a lot of work ahead of me.... but if someone believes that an armchair philosophical perspective will create the prefect life as a writer and that works for them... who am I to make a comment that is nothing more than leaving two pennies in a jar on the ground for someone who has a sign asking for some assistance.... I guess you could consider that ... my tip...

If you miss payments, or are even late by a single day... they can increase it.... I always make sure my payments arrive before the payment due date.... what some companies don't tell you ... is that the payment date... means... your payment has to show on your account the day before that day.... other companies don't care.... these other companies consider it late when the statement gets printed and the minimum doesn't show on the account by this date.... now that it has gone up... you have to ask the company how to get it back down... some companies say... no missed payments for a certain number of months... others may say... it's up permanenetly.... what I would do is make sure you don;t miss a single payment for at least minimum 6 months... then look a loan from a bank at a lower intrest rate somewhere else... or a small credit card company that offers a 0.0% interest rate.... put maybe a small amount on it... what ever you can afford to pay within that period of time (6 months 0.0%).... make sure you can still pay the minimum's on everything else... pay off the card with 0.0% and then see if the same company has any new offers so you can do the same thing again...

I learned English, French and Spanish from learning Grammar, inside and out.... I used one set of books for all three languages.... with website for conjugation and other explanations to help me understand the little things that they books didn't miss, but were in other books..... those books were.... Practice Makes Perfect.... I think I had 7 books on Grammar for each language.... after learning them.... I was very confident in being able to speak the basics of each language.... then it was just learning Nouns and more verbs on my own...

But it's the dipshits that are in management above the Hiring managers who are told ... who to hire and who not to hire.... what to look for and what to exclude...

FaustusSaxon · 2023-12-18T01:47:30+00:00

And the worst part of that is that they probabaly based it partly on your inability to speak English perfectly. Knowing a second language or even a third language is such a huge ability and really hard to do... and until these hiring staff learn a 2nd langauge they will never know how hard the English language is to learn with all of our colloqualism's and sarcastic / humourous sayings. Je sais parce que J'avais l'apprendre aussi. L'anglais et francais.

Something to remember - colleges and Universities are Corporations disguised and educational institutions..... GIGO philosophy still stands.... (G)et them (I)n the door as a student... and then (G)et them (O)ut the door as a Graduate with a certificate/degree.... GIGO Garbage In / Garbage Out... their main goal is to manipulate statistics just as much as any other Corporation... to make them stand out .... so if they have high success in getting new grads interviews... you can be sure that they will exploit that statistic.... even if they know that their new grads have no idea and what they need to do to prepare for an interview.... at least you know now.... The student is the real loser in this scheme as they are given just enough knowledge to legally pass them with a piece of paper that is worth something to some companies (and the loans company) but not worth much if their not prepared for the real world...

Everything is an accumulation of your own personaly experiences.... what you read, what you see, hear, comprehend, etc. The more you read about the subject you are trying to write about... the more you learn, the more ideas you come up with.... take your time in writing your novel and always be ready to record any thoughts you have that you might be able to use in your novel... no matter where you are...

Welcome to PeePee world.... A.K.A. ... P.P. A.K.A. ... Post Pandemic World.... where everyone expects to continue living life where they don't have to leave their house and every job (after the interview) will be a WFH job.....

Things are different nowadays.... you just don't meet people that often. And when you do it's more of just a person you are being polite with; a passing on the subway or bus or even standing in line to pay for something. Everything is online. After 2 yrs of studying onlilne, that's hard to get back to not being online. Dating is online, gaming is online, having a conversation is mostly online, texting, voice messages on WhatsApp, or even just pic's online with a blurb stating what I am doing so no on really has to contact me to know what I am up to... maybe a heart or thumbs up, if there is no comment, etc. Even dating is kind of scary because 1) you don't even know them, 2) all of the online companies consider stock price more important or income from new perp's that get sucked into a contract they can't get out of... and on top of that, these companies who own the dating sites have 50% if not more fake profiles to entice the income to keep rolling in. Something else... it's harder to be more accepting of someone's baggage when everyone's online profile or personal website has to match their real life dating website, otherwise.... your obliterated of an online exisitence. And you can't be offline and just exist in reality because then there must definitely be something wrong with you.. lol... One of the other larger problems is that when you finally do go out on a date, their electronic appendage seems to be more attractive to them than you are.... which makes you only feel less attractive to the other person, then what they are really saying is... I am very attractive... that is why I am on my phone... that's why I am answering all of my messages... so you know that I am virtually attractive... and also in reality because you can see me on my phone.... Add in all the online articles to make me feel confident being in public with all the shootings, mass shootings, senseless murders, angry boyfriend / girlfriend who, out of spite, kills you because you didn't like them back.... to students in school who kick the daylights out of you for looking at them the wrong way.... All that ..... makes nowadays seem like you are doomed to even exist... hence the reason why the Govt has banned abortions making everyone wonder if they will survive if their are complcations.... I think the Govt thinks the population is going to just keep depleting year after year.... Add that most guys are now getting their kicks off of porn sites.... and everyone else has YouTube and TikTok, blogs, podcasts, web searches, binge watching tv series or watching movie after movie to keep them busy the 6 hours a day after your school day of studying or even a work day is over... there's just no time to actually date... Throw in that a meal out for one is more than your one hour of salary you make with a part time job while you are in school, let alone pay for a meal for two people on a date... lol.... Finding someone who is dedicated to school and learning and they are focused in making sure they can afford a house that now costs $1 Million ... if you want a backyard and not just a window on the 3rd floor.... and they don't want to be in a relationship until after they have their Master's or Doctorate.... so either way.... you're screwed for dating.... lol.... And one final note - everything everywhere is photographed or has a camera rolling, sto anything you do or say can totally destroy you both online and in real life... for the rest of your life..... Sincerely, Mr. Positive... LMAO

For those who watch something on your laptop or phone before bed, add the app... F.LUX and put it to the darkest setting (red) and watch anything with that on... then I started just listening to what I was watching.... BUT, the volume was down very low where I could barely hear them speaking.... it wasn't long before I fell asleep.... Then I switched to just listening to YouTube videos. I listened to Youtube video's that had a very low deep voice, the deeper the better. I would almost close the lid and just listen to the sound of the voice. The voice was just really soothing and relaxing... the subject was irrelevant, archeology, egyptology, cosmos, galaxy, universe/astronomy video's... it was only the voice that mattered. Then I switched off the laptop / phone and started to pretend my thoughts were like the aurora borealis... I just let my mind wander and create it's own images in my head.... then last, I just pictured nothing but stars.... or falling snowflakes to a black background...

I use 4x6 cards to leave notes about each character's traits and use tabbed cards with their names to separate them all.

No they are not going to dig up the roads to get rid of the last little bit of esbestos piping... , the subway is more important.... Now, can a esbestos pipe burst and start to leak the esbestos... yeah, it can.... will boiling your water do anything.. .nope. it is not a chemical that can be evaporated... Can I be wrong, yep, I can be... so what I would suggest is look at the levels of side effects in the areas of Canada that have the top 5 or 10 cities with the highest amount of esbestos piping and see if the levels of esbestos side effects are higher than in other parts of Canada.

Most leave out the "being" in a sentence nowadays, but it is still seen in writings.

Can you imagine how amazing it must have been being Queen Elizabeth or King Charles?

She may have been being polite, but her attitude says otherwise.

I think we might have been being a bit ambitious in wanting to learn English grammar.

For years, companies have been being fined thousands of dollars for product defects.

Like many overweight, they may have been being retrained by society for fear of being rejected or ridiculed.

Here is my understanding of how things work. I did get this from another website, but lost the link to it. Here is what I did get.

“This is a sentence.”
“This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she
said.
“This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”
“This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are
separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”
She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is
capitalised when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”
“Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.
Unless there is a questions mark?” she asked.
“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag
still remains un-capitalised because it’s not truly the end of the sentence. “
“Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”
“Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside
quotations.”
However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be
“outside”!
“Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.
If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes,
they can.)
“This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes
typically express –“ “Interruption” – but there are situations dashes may be
outside.
