Privileged to study under a number of great teachers, including Errol Flynn's...

The Road From Completed Book Manuscript to...
Books published by New York publishing houses tend to garner a higher degree of respect than those published outside of the Big Apple.

Unfortunately, the road from completed book manuscript to publication through traditional channels is a long one with numerous challenges. A first-time author must first create a formal book proposal which will take weeks of work. Next, the writer goes through the process of submitting it to publishers and/or agents. Agent and Author Terry Burns interviewed over 600 multi-published authors and foundthat it took...
Plot points are linear links that make up the chain of traditional Aristotelian 3-act dramatic structure. This classic structure worked well in Hollywood for almost a century now. Although young movie makers are forcing the limits of this structure, plot points still rule the day as the "tent poles" that hold up of the circus of our dreams. Here are the plot points of Red (1994), a part of the Kieslowski trilogy, as I see them. Red (1994) Starring: (Irene Jacob), Jean-Louis Trintignant (The Judge), Jean-Pierre Lorit (Auguste Bruner) Directed by: Krzysztof Kieslowski Writers: Krzysztof Kieslowski, Krzysztof Piesiewicz PROTAGONIST VALENTINE'S DILEMMA: She wants to be happy but is separated from her...

Saving a Little at a Time
When it comes to saving money, every penny counts. So many people simply assume that small amounts of money aren't worth the bother of saving. But little things add up. Have you ever broken a large bill, such as a fifty, to only be surprised that it disappeared so quickly. Little amounts of money will just flow out of your hands. So it is logical to assume that little amounts can add up just as quickly. However, you can't just assume that spending and saving is equal. Saving $15 a week is not the same as spending $15 dollars a week. You have to factor in compounding interest on saving and borrowing. Let's look at $15 dollars a week in three different scenarios: spending, saving and borrowing. When...

College Planning: It's Not Too Late
In May of 2005, at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, college graduates threw up their caps to celebrate the achievement of a lifetime. Two of those caps belonged to twins, Carol Malone and Linda Clem. But there was something different about these two. The difference was age, experience, and wisdom. The twins are 54-years old, and they just received the first college degrees of their lives. The moral to this story? It's never too late to do anything you put your mind to. It's a common myth that if your child is about to head to college or is already in college, then you've reached a point when the only thing left to do is take out a few large loans and get ready to bear the burden of tuition...

Harry Potter and the Book Banners
The objections raised by some fundamentalist Christians to the Harry Potter books continue to make the news. The Christian attacks on the Potter series aren't an attack on witchcraft and magic, so much as an attack on the imagination and freedom of expression - and by extension an attack on literature. The Harry Potter books aren't 'How To' manuals on witchcraft, nor is the author, J.K. Rowling, advocating the practice of witchcraft. The themes in the Harry Potter stories pit the good against the dark side. Magical themes happen to be an effective way to play out the drama in a manner that is engaging, especially for younger readers. Professor Dumbledore, the Hogwarts headmaster, is clearly the...

In the last article, we discussed the difference between asking questions and probing. When you are asking a question, (Point #2) you are gathering information. Our next point # 3 is probing. Why should we probe? You need to qualify a customer and identify their needs, wants, and desires. Identifying customer needs, wants, and desires is what leads to the sale. Most likely, you will not be able to do this by fact-finding only. You must find out more than just the basic information. Probing is the art of becoming your company's private detective salesman. We want to build on this premise. A private detective salesman has to dig and assess the following: 1. Discover what kind of computers, scanners...

Controlling College Expenses
Your tuition money probably won't take care of such loose ends as lab fees for specific courses, late registration charges, drop-and-add fees, library fines, motor vehicle registration and parking fees, and various other course-related hits your budget will have to absorb. Individually, these fees may seem manageable- $25 here, $10 there-but over the span of a year, they can add up fast. Your best bet here may be the preemptive strike: Find out about the existence of such fees, particularly in lab classes, before you register or during the first week of school, so, if need be, you can drop the class and take it later, when you've budgeted for it. (The fee might be mentioned in the schedule of...
