Alternatives To Remembering Details
Uh, what was it he said? Something about lumberjacks? No, it was really good, right, it's just that it's lost a bit in the retelling, and yes, it was brilliant. It was really good. It's just - Oh, I can't remember his name. I was never very good with details. But then, who is? Right?
Hello? Anyone out there? Are you listening? Got something to say? Amazingly, everyone's talking but no one can hear a thing. It's a problem: the new Social Networking sites promised to put people in touch and help them to share and to talk to each other. There's a lot of noise but is there any communication? Can anyone really hear what anyone else has to say? Is there a point?
Alternatives To Sophistication
We get older. Do we get wiser? Unfortunately, many people in the advanced civilisations that we call The West seem to be content to revel in the baser instincts and count conquests of a personal nature amongst their rather flimsy list of achievements. What do we really have to boast about? Is there anything we can be really proud of? The list might be smaller than you think.
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?
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.
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Unpublished authors are swamped by advice.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.
Internet Authors Are Market Traders
Internet Authors set up scruffy and unprofessional web sites to display their wares. What does that remind you of? Why - the market stalls that clutter the pavements of downtown areas in cities all over the world. Maybe this 'new wave' doesn't need the plush offices of Traditional Publishers. Maybe they scorn the fripperies of clubs, lunches and award ceremonies. The question is - are the books any good?
Internet Authors Live In The Present
Bad day? If you're already feeling bad, it's hard enough to cope with the 'here and now'. And who knows what disasters tomorrow may bring? Talk to Mike Scantlebury and hear why it's a good idea to 'pick yourself up' and start again, but even better to brush off the dust of defeat as well as keeping your head out of the clouds of what might be coming. (It might not.) Let's talk about 'now'. What can we do - today?
Internet Authors Free The Genie
What if? What if? The perennial call of the dreamer, the visionary, and the Internet Author. Such creative writers have seen the future, and it's not as we know it. It includes the end of the domination of Traditional Publishers and the rise in importance of The Reader, the ultimate customer of all writers. People may now make their livings on the net. What next? Mike Scantlebury has a prediction.
