Alternatives On The Road To Addiction
If your children, or the children next door, turned to a life of dangerous drugs, you'd be only too keen to look for a reason and try and find an excuse. Is that any help? It might be that it doesn't matter how the habit started, especially after a few years. What matters is giving up the self-destructive habit. Then we can talk about it. If there's a problem, maybe we can fix it. But that comes later, once you're off the road of addiction.
Alternatives To Losing At Gambling
Why do some people walk out of the casino with a fat wallet and some exit with no shirt on their back? What are the factors that decide winning or losing, and, more important, does this have anything at all to do with real life? Are their 'gamblers' at other things too, apart from cards? The answer, surprisingly, is simpler than it sounds, and the rules, if you choose to follow them, can produce worthwhile results.
Start Your Own Home Based Business
Today more people are starting home based and micro businesses than ever before. Some are even taking on the corporate giants in many areas. You must thoroughly evaluate the potential for the business you plan to operate. As you consider a business beware of scams.
Internet Authors Don't Use Quills
Every artist has a hero, someone they admired when younger and then set out to emulate. But do they copy the person or just follow in their footsteps? If you want to go the way of William Shakespeare does that mean you have to use a quill pen and write on parchment? Or is their another way? Perhaps we can learn from the best of new techology, while not ignoring the lessons of the past.
Internet Authors Are Farmers, Really
As the age of Traditional Publishing draws to an end, authors are finding that the internet can now meet all their needs, for getting published and being heard. Writers make contact with readers through the web, get feedback and improve their craft. Their work grows in the sunlight of positive criticism, watered by the rain of encouragement. The author brings in a well-deserved harvest. Just like farmers, maybe?
We are who we think we are. Are we? Or are we who we say we are? Or, more accurately, we seem to be whom we pretend to be. That's good, surely, making out you're more than you are; more important; more - everything. Not according to this author. You spend effort pretending to be who you're not and you'll spend up, with nothing to show for it. Try another way.
Internet Authors Are Protest Writers
If several authors are writing books on similar themes does this make a 'trend'? Traditional Publishers don't think so. They've never heard of Protest Novelists or Challenging Writers, but this could be the 'next big thing' in the world of books. To find it, you might have to look on the internet, but that's no bad thing. There's plenty of good stuff out there, just waiting to be read.
Internet Authors Don't Need Prospectors
Publishers need authors, (they say). If that's so, why don't they read the stuff that arrives in the post? Because they aren't prospectors, says Mike Scantlebury, Internet Author. Publishers don't actually sieve the dross, looking for nuggets of gold. How could they? They're far too busy doing lunch and attending ceremonies, you know, important stuff, he says.
Internet Authors Don't Need Fame
Tough being an author? Even tougher being a publisher! But in the world of Traditional Publishing there's all kinds of self-inflicted pain, most of which is no help to themselves, or their clients. Tune in with Mike Scantlebury and hear why he's an Internet Author, not bothering with the follow-my-leader of the last 250 years, now hopelessly out of date.

Internet Authors Don't Need Cut-offs
Close the doors. Don't let anyone else in. That seems to be the message from bureaucrats and rule makers the world over. Why? Is there really a question of Health and Safety? Or is it just that a man with a pen and a penchant for control has decided to make up a few rules, draw some boundaries and decide some outcomes. Is it necessary? Does it help? Let Mike Scantlebury take you through the arguments.
Alternatives To Running For The Bus
Why do some people always miss the bus? Maybe it's bad luck, and 'being in the wrong place at the wrong time'. Or maybe it's way past time for excuses and people have to start thinking and planning ahead, finding out what the bus timetable says and organising their lives, instead of embarrassing themselves. See what Internet Author Mike Scantlebury thinks. He might surprise you.
Why are people so dense? Why won't they do what's good for them? Men in white coats have been sweating in labs for many years to invent the perfect e-book reader, so why aren't they everyhwere? Why can't people just ditch those smelly, crumbly, rotting woody things called 'books' and start living in Century 21? Ask author Mike Scantlebury and see if he has any suggestions.
Internet Authors Don't Need Timing
Unpublished authors are swamped by advice. Is any of it any good? Internet Author Mike Scantlebury comes out swinging, challenging the idea that 'timing is everything', especially away from the world of Traditional Publishing and out on the frontier of writing and the internet. It's a thrilling world out there, full of possibilities. Try it!
Internet Authors Don't Need Advice
You're an author. You're feeling a little isolated, a bit lonely. You want comfort and encouragement. You ask for advice. Bad luck! What you get is unhelpful and contradictory. Better to ignore these offerings and get your work into print. On the internet. The only place that accepts whatever you have to offer and gives you feedback once the work is in print, not stifling your efforts before they ever see the light of day.
Alternatives To Catching Criminals
Why catch criminals? Because they do things that are against the law. British Internet Author Mike Scantlebury has noticed an alternative trend. Why not look as though you're doing something about it, without actually succeeding? That way, everyone is happy, including the crims. It looks good, it sounds good, it's just not real. Well, isn't that just like modern life?
