The Firing of Juan Williams: Feelings Lose to News

2010-10-21T13:49:00.000-07:00

FRESH** Written inside the update box on Google Buzz right now after watching the reports of the firing of Juan Williams by NPR http://www.npr.org/

JUAN GETS FIRED FOR WHAT? HIRE JUAN WILLIAMS; FEELING CUT OUT?

FRESH** Written inside the update box on Google Buzz right now after watching the reports of the firing of Juan Williams by NPR http://www.npr.org/

The National Public Radio fired Juan Williams Wednesday afternoon in response to commentary deemed to be too personal to be aired on television. I liked Juan Williams and here's what I think about the firing.

Reality does not appear simply because contracts are signed that state how reality is. Basically, NPR took the stance that reporting on reality is not the job of their reporters rather it is in the eyes of the beholder what is real or unreal.

NPR thinks that we should not hear what people are feeling, just what the story is. Bigotry, racism, hate speech, terrorism, Muslim, Christian, black, white, Yellow, brown, colored; the list goes on what cannot be said when speaking around these topics. NPR has let it slip that maybe the control media wants is not what we see but what we feel.

ETHICAL CONTRACTS: Journalism and Sports Contract Negotiations

So Juan goes on Bill O'Reilly and when it's all said and done NPR has made a decision, Juan Williams cannot say how he feels anymore while employed by them.

This is NPR from http://www.npr.org/about/aboutnpr/

This Is NPR:

A thriving media organization at the forefront of digital innovation, NPR creates and distributes award-winning news, information, and music programming to a network of 900 independent stations. Through them, NPR programming reaches 27.2 million listeners every week.

So someone in NPR has just fired a highly respected journalist for saying that when he was flying he had moments of anxiety when seeing a Muslim believer dressed in religious clothing.

That was the lead in to a couple of more retorts from Bill and Juan, as usual, carried himself with personal honor. I believe what he says and NPR proved me right. So here we go again, a corporate adjustment in policy for all to see occurs and there's nothing you or I can do about it but report.

My report will say that this sucks my friend. It sucks because feeling what you feel is not news anymore. News is the news. But whose news is it? Who's making news? Not the man on the street. Not what you'll see on TV because the internet is so strong and getting stronger. Because I am writing this story there will be more news agencies looking back over their own ETHICAL CONTRACTS.

"Hey!" "Forget that what you feel is important and they win the news game". I fear the news has been hijacked already by The Lowliest Power.

There is a paragraph here that I want to state what I feel. I feel scared when I watch people being scared but unable to express their fears. When you take feeling out of the news you have news with no call to action. FEAR drives men to change. It will be the primary emotion in any AMERICAN retreat from the status quo.

As this should be a moderate article I hope not to send you searching for THE Lowliest Power but if you have a need you should go here and keep an eye out for the release of my report. http://www.facebook.com/fuzzywashere

Shamantics: Author's notes

2010-10-20T05:18:00.001-07:00

What in the world does an author do when a story begs to be told? He tells the story the only way he knows how; through words. You are reading and watching the information collected here because your interest brought you here. Now, you can watch what happens to this writer as the story gets told.

You will find my inspiration and research located on various online websites and blogs. Added together they represent over 15 years of truth. In the next six months I will be publishing that truth in a new report.

Things to look out for:

The future has everything to do with the past. SOLSTICE: Days of the Still is written with the truth seeker in mind. Look at the future through the words of this fantastic non-fiction fiction novel that includes the author's insight on what will the world be learning about in the future plus a useful tool for getting through the anxiety and possible physical changes that occur during the generation of SOLSTICE: Days of the Still.

Writing Articles for Money Online

ORIGINAL ARTICLE with LINKS

Reports from the industry say that you’re broke. Not only broke but also depressed. Maybe this will motivate you to do more; maybe not. The industry has a secret I’m going to tell you in my blog posts here at Over and Out. Everything is going to be alright. If you want to become a successful writer you can. You can do it in under a year. You can begin to make money this week. _____________________________________________________
Get paid two times a week. If all you are hearing is the bad news, you’re not looking for the needle in your haystack. I found mine in 1997, and I never let it out of my sight. I do not know how far these posts will go.

I believe in having secrets but my cat is out of the bag. Everyone knows I have secrets that spill out onto my posts when I am writing because I don't go back and delete I just keep writing. That’s the power of my brain at work. I let it write for me and then I go back and find out where my fingers made the mistakes.

That’s secret #2 and I want you to know that this may be the most important secret of all.

You are losing your opportunity to utilize your best writing tool. And yes, it’s your brain. These posts are meant to be a little funny, a little learning, and a little secret. I cannot convince you, that’s your job.

I am going to let it all out right here though so keep checking in for more ‘Writer’s Revelations’ in 2010 as we move closer to the content explosion that will erupt in 2011.

Questions?

I have a Mindspring question form in the right sidebar of the Over and Out blog.

Use it or lose it!

Internet Streams (Pt 2)

2010-02-08T08:37:00.001-08:00

Ask people who use the internet what they think of it today, and most will tell you that the think they know how to get around pretty well. The truth is, they really don't know what they're talking about. The next wave of internet savvy user will have more choice, closer relationships, and become better informed. The information they follow will be the information from friends who are connected and not only do they travel and use the internet for their own benefit, the broadcast a stream of their history as they go.

Portable, relevant, and digital, this stream of information will let friends and followers see what they saw, like it or not. The more social that the internet becomes, the more real the internet becomes. No longer will the flow of information be shaped by the writers, programmers, and businesses that promote it, but backing up each bit of information you can find on the internet, there will soon be a follow-up to the data. The follow-up comes from the websites and portals of streams that break down to each person who initiates a connection through one of the most popular and not so popular websites available today.

The practice is being used today on portable devices and desktops around the world. The most visited sites today are those that have hundreds of millions of users interacting with each other outside of business. The sites are using cookies and tracking software embedded in advertiser paid ads. So goes the way of the stream. Instead of a group of followers and fans leaving behind crumbs that others can find and follow, they will be reviewing and recommending not through words% but through actions. Traffic will be organically generated by a stream search bar which takes an excerpt of the information being viewed. Keywords will be used to find friends that share similar information and actively connect using a stream to interact with their friends. Here's an example of what I find most interesting about the whole stream thing. Imagine this: Sean Walsh is getting on the #25 train from the West Belt to Rice University in Houston. The trip takes forty two minutes and instead of cracking a book to study for his midterms he pulls his research pad out from his favorite rucksack, the on the had from his first year in high school. The leather is worn but it it reminds him of his parents, they always wanted him to excel in his studies and his pack proves that they are always on his side. With his pack on his lap and his research pad turned on and immediately he gets notification from his friends. Good morning Sean! Sarah is only other person from high school that goes to Rice and is always one first to say hello. Sarah leaves good mornings on stream the night before so when her friends log on they all now that she was thinking of them.

Sean smiles as he thinks of the small girl with dark hair who has become a great friend since coming to university. Sean minimizes Saran's notice to find a red alert flashing in his task bar. He clicks on the little red exclamation point to see his friend Rick Water's avatar come up in a separate window. Rick's status says "I have the Bio Research Notes on my blog" next to it is the link to his blog and when Sean clicks on the link, Rick is notified that one of his friends utilized his notes.

Sean, Sarah, and Rick are going to be the core group of users who have been utilizing social networks for most of their life. As they expanded their social circles at home, they also advanced their social circles world-wide. These kids will organize the world in such a way that no longer will advertisers be able to create information that will inevitably be read, they risk losing touch with the true user of information online and what they are enjoying unless they are a part of the lifestyle these users interact with. The local economy will be trimmed down to the truest of recommended and trusted shops and retailers. The streaming internet will be partial, private, and most of all, wanted by anyone who wants to be seen online. When Sean, Sarah, and Rick let you into their stream you will be able to take advantage of their expertise, their insight, their knowledge.

So Rick's research pad may be a great tool for him now, what, the iPad changed along with the Kindle. The manufacturer of the research pad rick uses included the best computing, reading, and traditional work tools all in one too. Rick can download and read any book in the world, he can write a book and publish it quickly, he can surf the web, internet, email, but all he really uses it for is school and stream gathering. Following the links his stream shows him or the part of the stream is likes to follow on that day.

rick gets streams from 192 of the best online friends you can find. He selected these streams because they are all relevant to him. to his likes and dislikes, his favorite sports team, race car driver, Rice University professors, classmates, and even from Trudy at his job. Trudy still likes cartoons and even though Sean won't admit it, he does to. So he can see what Trusy has been up to whenever he likes because his stream subscription have everything he needs to get the news he uses and nothing else.

Forget about keywords people, think

Say Hello to Internet Streams (Pt 1)

Where are you going and where have you been?

Even before making their first dollar online, bright online content developers need to understand what it takes to see their dreams through to reality. People like me know more than they can do and do as much as they can. I have been known to mix things up.

This year there is change in my approach, call it a maturing of the procedure. You and I are expecting to see some good things from Powerfitz Publishing and the content that will be produced in 2010. As a writer I am becoming more aware how valuable each word can be, that is why I am building my very own base of content to market rather than selling it away for practically nothing. "Learn how I made the switch."

Every write needs to look at where they stand against someone like me, I'm poised to make a name for myself and the only things I had when I started was a computer and the internet. If you can write you can make money online. Work for someone else and it's a job. Work for yourself and you have the possibility of making it very big indeed.

Here's a little secret that's not really a secret...

"Content Marketing is what everyone wants right now, and search engines are rewarding streams of original content with the best search results." They might call it a band wagon but I call it band width and with the recent introductions of both Amazon Kindle and now the iPad from Steve Jobs and Apple, The writing for money online trend is moving in a direction that benefits writers and authors and readers alike. The demand for original content to fill the huge amounts of Kindle and Ipad disk space is creating new business models from which to earn an income.

If you are not sure which direction to take your content management, consider keeping it all for yourself and making money from it? The smartest authors are building a private library of "on demand" content that people can come and grab whenever they like. Fans and followers from Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn allow authors and readers to connect.

A business model of content management based on the theory that as the internet evolves into "streams", a business must have "content" first. Take in account that to build a stream with followers takes on average a year or more before any revenue can even begin to be created.

"How far behind are you willing to get?"

The Year of the Author

2010-01-28T07:18:00.001-08:00

The Year of the Author

This year is turning out to be just like they said it would. Literary agents, publishers, and even authors have noticed that wherever they look, there is a new writer working or an experienced author writing more. Connect this trend with the explosion of social media and an American economic slump, there are more writers working from home offices than ever before.

Just ask Nathan Bransford what is different this year than past years, and he'll tell you that there are more queries being sent into publishers and agents than ever before. The reason is simple and it gives authors hope that if it continues they can make a good living creating stories and taking notes of facts about what people on the internet are looking for. Content is King and content marketing is the prince that will carry on the lineage of quality writing pays when it is produced "on demand" and has a following ready to read and rate it's quality. The signs were there all year long, National Writing Month set the ball in motion, and now the best time to prepare a great work of fiction for the internet is right now.

If you're a writer but you are a new writer I can tell you that I know you, you and me are alike. I am a writer who started writing because my reality changed and I agreed to change with it. I am not just another sheep in the crowd though, I am the black sheep. "Here's how I plan on getting myself heard through all the baaaaing."

#1 Write More (How to, Revenue Share, Website content, tagging, categorizing, novels, links, blog)
#2 Social More
Facebook
Twitter
Website
New options
#3 Bookmark More (Social Marker)
#4 Talk More (Blog Radio)
#5 Record More (NHRA, New Fiction)
#6 Organize More (Calendar, Schedules, Meetings)

These are all difficult and time consuming tasks. Each one has it's rewards and by following along a schedule of activity that is effective, you can become as good as you want to be, or purport to be, or are. The internet has not offered more opportunity to the lowly writer than right now. I am leading the way with my marketing as I get the content rolling out that will make the most residual income over the long haul.

Royalties will allow me to pursue the rest of my dreams, and writing about what I dream about is a great place to start earning money from the things I love to do.

Writing for your own Pleasure

2010-01-26T09:13:00.001-08:00

"I'm going to go broke before I make anything of myself, I swear."

There's truth to that statement, maybe more truth than I can admit. Writing for money online had been my goal and now that I know exactly how to make money online with my writing I decide that I want to go in another direction, going for broke is a career choice for me. An internet author with exceptional skills is what the viewers want, and they'll come back to user friendly, web browser books if you interact with them on multiple levels.

If you can stand on top of a round inflated ball without falling off then I would say that you can manage to find a way to make money on your computer. The ball you are standing on is the internet, the the motion you feel under your feet is the ever changing orb that pulses and breathes new content. "It eats old content and takes in the new creative works of people like me, arranging it in order of care.

"How much do you care about your work online?"

I spend a little too much time some would say, collecting and spitting back all my thoughts on this screen. My wife says that if I don't begin to write articles that pay I might just find myself out on the street. "Good, then I would have to work even harder during that time you say I'm not working. These efforts will result in a following that looks to me for what I have, "The stories" I tell are getting more interesting with each new chapter and more people are looking to me to give them the ending of what I have started. The ending of this story might just be the beginning of something really big, and life changing. The ending must be delivered when the fire is hot, but not before I can cool down enough to expect that once it is reported the beginning will start to emerge. When CARNE VALE is finished, the real work begins.

January 30th is almost here. I know what that means to me but not quite sure how that relates to you, my reader. I want you to know that what I write about has a lot to do with things I have seen and heard and been a part of. I can;t just make up the real parts of an otherwise unreal story. How would I go about describing the places and people I never met? You can find something of me inside me books but the story is not real. Rick Waters is not me, he is how do you say.... "A real man trapped in a fake story", I'm a fake man trapped in a real story.. "Or some would say."

"Phil and his daughter, they live somewhere around San Fransisco, have been separated by schizophrenia. Phil doesn't much care how he spends his time, he has no insight she says." Phil's daughter tries to understand Phil, but can't because she has too much insight. "I'd rather be the blind man in the way of flaming arrows if I could not get away, than a smart man who sees and plans and then dies."

SO I write for my own pleasure. I talk with my fingers and my computer talks to your brain with the marks it leaves behind when you find something I created. I must write because now I know how to make money and if I don't then I really be that guy she tells me I am, but I'm not, "I'll do it my way thank you very much".

The Newest Domain from Powerfitz Publishing

Novelists

2010-01-14T05:49:00.001-08:00

I'm scouring the internet for news on the publishing world. What was common place just five years ago is now taboo. It seems that one good thing that came out of the economic down turn is there were more new novelists born in 2009 than any other year on record. Now that the books that were written last year, including the thousands of titles written in November for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).

The changes don't stop there. "Publishing is not the same".

Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Walden Books are just a few of the big names in book selling. They were supplied by publishers from around the world, new authors fell under the spell of their first literary agent, the manuscript was sold and printed and available from these mega book dealers.

Today the landscape has changed for publishers, retailers, wholesalers, and writers. "Writers have more options than ever before to bring a book to market." They have those choices because the consumer is changing their buying habits when it comes to the purchase of original works, books that is. The consumer is driving more content into digital format because it is cheaper to buy, easier to buy, comes from one platform, and an impulse to buy makes it more profitable for the writers who self publish. There are more pay to edit publishers than ever before and the numbers of new release titles will skyrocket for the foreseeable future.

My own first work is available to be read (at least a good portion of it) right from its fan page on Facebook. "Marketing has come to the author in a big way."

Before the internet, at least before amazon, writer's who have to go from bookstore to bookstore pushing their words. Conventions and speaking engagements gave writer's a place to market themselves and their books. Now, Facebook, and Twitter dominate. It's like a virtual convention whenever you turn on the computer. If you don;t have at least 50 friends to tell your story to, then you haven't met the internet lately, and as an author, you are doing yourself a disservice. Get your name, your title, your story online and you might be able to stop worrying about what publisher is going to pick up your next work. Maybe you can do a better job of promoting yourself and your book and now you really have the tools to do just that.

Facebook

"I'm not going to tell you how to use Facebook but I will tell you that you can do more with that site than make your own personal profile page. There are fan pages that you can make for each title you have, or make a collection page that people can come and follow. Pay for adverts that will bring in more followers and readers will follow that information to your point of sale.

"Now where is your point of sale?"

"Put it on your own website and sell it to your network." Do it like that and you keep everything. While publishers will cut you a royalty percentage, imagine if you could market yourself well enough to drive traffic into your own site, sell the digital copy through email or digital reading script, .pdf, or bound and covered through the mail. You get the best returns but you have to be the one driving sales.

"You can have your cake and eat it to with the right combination of virtual publishing and marketing combined with in store sales of your titles in bookstores like Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, and the other popular book stores. Online and off, you can get a bigger return on investment when you do as much of the work yourself. It ensures you of the best percentages, you get to keep the most rights to your works, and you will be able to see a future in royalties with the digital text industry booming into 2015.

So, write a damn book if you're out of work. Publish it yourself if you're so inclined. Get the story down on paper and then turn it digital to take your earnings into the future with every new title you write.

Gen Yin

I sometimes find myself researching myself. If anyone should know me as well as the internet does, then I decided I would like to know what the internet knew. The internet knows that I was born in January, 1968. The internet knows my address and my telephone number ("well it thinks it does anyways."), and its advertisers know what my preferences are better than me.

If I was an alarmist, I would be scared about how much those nasty advertisers know about me. If I were "average", I wouldn't have to really worry, would I? The average person spends 4 hours a week online, while I toil years away trying to figure out how to turn this keyboard into an ATM. If I'm not worried about those damn advertisers than really, why all the hoopla about who knows what?

This whining is brought to you by the government, who at this very moment is planning on inking the next set of advertising regulations that can place your private information in more danger than it is right now. The truth of the matter is, than when you have to sort through information to decide what is "right" or "wrong", you are analyzing that information more than any algorithym that produces your advertising results today. The idea is "progressive", and you should know that the government could be planning to overwhelm the internet so that they can "fundeamentally" change it. "It's what progressives do when they are hard at work doing what they do".

So who knows me the best? Me? You? The government? I can safely say "nobody" knows me better than my own natural profile of dates and times and the freekin stars, I say this because this year is Gen Yin, "The year of the White Tiger" and this year is the perfect year to get what I want the most, productivity that pays.

The Year of the Tiger begins on February 14th 2010. It is a metal year. and as the stars will have it, if you want to accomplish something big, then this is the perfect year to get it done. I know more about myself than I did before I started this morning, so here is my Chinese New Year Resolution for Geng Yin 2010, the Year of the White Tiger. I will create enough of my own content ot begin my personal library of fiction and non fiction books and articles that will continue to produce revenues long after they are written.

Carne Vale - Flesh Farewell Chapter 2

2010-01-07T14:13:00.001-08:00

Carne Vale - Flesh Farewell, Book #1 on Facebook

Rick Waters left town with a carnival to escape the sentence handed down on his twenty first birthday by a judge in Palmer. He was going to be free, but at what cost.

Chapter Two

The road from the courthouse to Ludlow was ten miles long and followed the Chicopee River West. It crosses water three times on its way towards Rick's home and the first bridge was just a mile down the road from the courtroom in Three Rivers.

Rick stopped to look over the edge. Below, the Quabog river meets up with the Swift and Ware, spilling together into the Chicopee behind the Tampax factory that many of the villagers relied on for a living. Below the bridge the waters of the Quabog were low and you could see much of the limestone riverbed that would contain the waters when they were high. There is no dam here, and the rivers cut holes and pockets into the stone as it pools above the flat surface of the limestone.

Trees cling to the sides of the river bank precariously situated in between the river and the village's buildings. Here, three rivers converge into one, on their way to Long Island Sound by way of the Connecticut River. The rivers were low because the winter had been warm. Each day the sun had come up and melted what ice had formed at the edge of the river at night and now it was gone. With the sun beginning to wane in the sky Rick realized that unless he got moving he would still be on the road after dark. He began to walk West, not wanting to stay at the edge of the railing for much longer unless to test his own will to continue now that his future was out of his control.

The youngest of four, Rick had inherited the best of both parents, one Irish and one French. His baby face was handsome and his thick black hair was unruly, like him. His eyes were blue and gray. Some days they were the deepest blue and on others they were a pale, slate gray. He had known that his eyes were special, they had captivated people in the past. Strangers would stop and say the nicest things or look deeply into them and smile.

His parents were each born into large families that had overcome the ravages of depression to achieve the new American dream. Irish, Portuguese, and Polish families moved to Ludlow to begin their own American dream and Rick's dad brought his young family to Ludlow for its schools and clean neighborhoods. When Rick was three his died in a car accident and as he grew up from child to boy he couldn't stop thinking about how different his life would be if only his father were still alive.

There had been a long list of counselors to get over the loss, or to get over drinking. His past was littered with appointments made and missed. The state had ordered his attendance at various group meetings to learn about his behavior and how it was affecting his life. The whole idea was to give a drunk something to do so he doesn't drink, right? After all, how good can it be for a guy to continuously talk about something in order not do it? It eludes me how that's supposed to work.

In the meetings he had attended in the past Rick would describe his past as if it were someone else.

"I have love in my life."

"I love ice cream, that's a love."

"I love my dog more than I do ice cream, there's emotion involved."

"I sometimes have no idea what love is all about."

"I heard it at home but didn't quite believe it."

"I love you."

"Your mother screwed us all." My oldest brother would say. he stopped loving too. He stopped so hard that he fell into depression and desperation and sorrow. He was, after all, only 12. He was in the car the night his father died, "Wasn't he?" You would have to ask him yourself if you can find him.

"Your mother is your Mother." That's my other brother, the middle child. Just enough opinion to hurt himself with his own words. The middle child goes unreported, undiscovered. This son made it. Made it through his life not without trouble, strife, fights, obscene drunkenness, but without the legal issues which can takes days, months, and years from those who do it differently.

"You just leave your mother out of this." There she is, the oldest child and only daughter. I do not care if you eat green eggs and ham, I just don't give a damn. She was lucky to be the first to leave the house. Ten years my senior, There's not much interaction, attraction, or loss. The opinion I have today is that she could have done better. On the inside.

No matter where we were there was loss for me. The days of my youth were appropriately filled with enough joy to consider it a happy childhood, but life is only as good as we believe it is and for me life was just a procession of days and nights and months and years where I wished for a moment that he was there. I had dreams and visions and pain that would fall upon me and push away my love. Push it back to a place where it became lust, where it became desire. My desire to never want to love again was strong.

My life as a teenager was spent doing what I wanted to do. By now, the home that I shared with my mother and my brother was more a hotel than a home. The rarity of having the three of us together at once inside the walls was staggering. While mom worked and my brother had his friends, I had mine. In the neighborhood, exploring around town, starting trouble with a neighbor or something like that, in a place where everyone knew your name I was nameless and the days progressed. I believe something was happening inside of me, or something was not happening inside of me. I learned to care less than I should. I let the lack of caring take me down paths I should not have gone. I could have been the best at something early on in life but I was not.

I was sixteen and on my way to Texas for the second time. It had been decided that a trip to Texas would fix all the problems I was dealing with at home. My grades were a mess. Summer school in Houston was supposed to fix me up and get me back on track. But my body was searching for my first experience, and during that summer I got exactly what I wanted.

It was a great summer for most of the time I was in Houston. I did exactly what I wanted to do outside of attending and passing the summer school program at Cy Creek. I did what was expected of me and I did more than that. That was the summer of my first sexual encounters with a woman. She had platinum hair and a funny smile and she let me in. She let me in whenever I could. She let me whenever I should not. She let me in and let me in and never thought about the day I would leave. Until it was close and the questions about what we were supposed to do were real. Now she says she's pregnant. Now she wants me more than ever before and I'm not sure what to want. My love was not for her but for the experience. I wanted to stay. I ran away and stayed in an abandoned house just wanting to stay. I did not stay though, and she was not pregnant. I was found and shipped home early. Love eluded for the first time.

Back home things quickly became usual again. By now it was just me and mom in the house. I was happy for that adjustment and I do not know if it happened before, or after I came home from Texas, but now that Brennan had been married and moved out, I began to notice that there was more that I wanted and had no plan to achieve than I ever realized before. Now was the time I should have been working on getting ahead, but I decided to stay the same. Just wanting something I could not have. My love deluded me.

I stopped caring again. It was easy to do. The things that should come naturally did not. Jobs, independence, friends, they all belonged to someone else. I worked and got fired for lack of caring, or lack of attendance. My first attempt at getting my driver's license I went the wrong way into the DMV parking and failed. These were the years that my path led me the most. But now I see it was me. I kept myself from achieving by not caring enough to succeed, to persevere. I had a crutch and I was using it on the inside. Whenever I could I would smoke to get high, drink to get drunk, and if I could do it with a friend I was satisfied. I had given enough already, and I just wanted to do what I wanted to do.

A Flesh Farewell Trilogy

2009-12-29T05:01:00.001-08:00

The author extends an invitation to read the first in a trilogy of Flesh Farewell fictional works from the new breakthrough writer Damian Walsh.

The virgin release of "Carne Vale" has been released on facebook to fans of fictional suspense and thrills. The first book comes out of the heart of New England, in the spring of life Rick Waters is heading for a fate much like his oldest brother Paul.

Rick Waters left town with a carnival to escape the sentence handed down on his twenty first birthday by a judge in Palmer. He was going to be free, but at what cost.

The district courthouse in Three Rivers, Massachusetts could be mistaken for a small Quaker church by anyone not familiar with its use. The courtroom is part of a single floor building with an entrance at each end and one entering the middle of the building off of Main St. When it was empty of defendants and police, judges and jurors, the courtroom looked like a sanctuary.

The presiding judge sits in a raised, legal pulpit, straddled by two lower tiers. On his right sat the prosecutor and on the left a witness chair. Below them, spanning the width of this legal alter, sat the clerk of courts. The defendants for the day sit in pews. Before the start of the day the clerk does a roll call of people in attendance to organize the cases and after each defendant had been ordered to comply, the clerk would call out another name until the list was finished. Halfway through the day they called out his name.

"Rick Waters"

He slid out of the pew. There was a mark on the floor where all the defendants would stand when their case was called. As he passed through the swinging door of the wooden railing that separated the courtroom from the gallery, it creaked its announcement at the arrival of the next offender. The courtroom would become quiet as each case was heard.

The judge continued flipping through his record as Rick stood in front of the altar. They were plenty of records to look through. The prosecutor's point of view was that it was time to send Rick Waters in for some real consequences. Her recommendation was that because Mr. Waters had not completed any of his probationary duties, there was nothing keeping the court from confining him to complete the two year suspended sentence handed down ten months ago by a visiting judge.

"Your honor, Mr. Waters has been in and out of this courtroom on misdemeanor charges involving alcohol since he was approximately sixteen." "His non compliance with the terms of his probation gives us no other option but to confine him for the remainder of his sentence up to and until he completes the terms of his confinement or he completes a program of alcohol and life skills while incarcerated."

After the prosecutor finished with her recommendation the judge spoke. He looked up from the files in front of him and into the eyes of the defendant to make sure that he understood what was happening and why he was here.

"I am revoking your probation Mr. Waters." "Due to your inability to meet the demands of your probationary sentence, you must now submit yourself to confinement in the Hampden county jail for no less than six months and no more than twenty four months." "That period of confinement begins the thirtieth of January and will continue at the jail on York St. until you complete your sentence in full or are released after successfully finishing the program of life skills and alcohol abuse counseling inside of York St."

"Mr. Waters I recommend that you get your things in order." "You have five days until your sentence begins, don't do anything stupid before then." The gavel sounded and it was then that suddenly, magically, his public defender appear, if only to usher him toward the probation office.

"You're lucky, usually they just remand people right off to jail." "Make sure to check with the probation office and pay your fee before you go." "And I don't have to tell you what will happen if you don't show up in five days kid..."

As soon as he walked out of the courthou se Rick knew it was time to get out of town or he'd spend his twenty first birthday in jail and his twenty second too.

Writing for Money Online and Off: Where Does Social Media Fit In?

2009-10-01T13:47:00.001-07:00

My efforts to collect my thoughts onto digital notepads and blog rolls and posts has led me to believe that I'm glad that I went into the world of social media BEFORE I actually got myself ready to produce content en-masse. Content you see, needs to be read. It takes the eyes oif the world to mould it into something better or as good as it is right now. Think about the countless blogs that are produced but not read, ever. I'm thinking about those everytime I write something new. But not so much now, because as I write, I communicate with my social friends online. Getting them to help me make better posts and include more news and information about me. They like to hear about what and how I am doing. Forget the information, give my friends something about me, and they are ready to come back for more.

The personal side of blogging takes over when you blog about your life and ambitions. While an internet marketer looks for the next referral or membership sign-up, a writer want thoughts to come into his head so that he can get them down inside his digital library for others to see. Making friends is easy, writing to the public is hard. Make friends first and let them tell how you are doing to get the most direction while you work. Writing is work, even if you love your job.

I Write for Money Online, you should too if you think you got what it takes to make enough friends or quality content to make friends with. Over and Out.

Where will we go from here?

2009-10-01T13:28:00.001-07:00

It's not about where you been (except prison), but where you're going.
Powerfitz.com is pushing forward into 2010 with new goals and ambitions
for the brands that fall under the Powerfitz umbrella. Nitrousfitz,
Over and Out, PartyLetter, PowerLetter, and the Holiday Letter are
going to be updated and monitored throught the rest of 2009 and into
the future.

Current trends for Powerfitz fall into the 'Social
Media' category. Now, the author of all these blogs can be followed on
Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/fuzzywashere
The hope that as more and more fresh content is added to the blog rolls
of Powerfitz.com, new friends will soon follow. The most promising
output has come from the Wordpress blog hosted on the server of
Powerfitz.com 'Over and Out'. The renewed focus on this platform, and
the Facebook interactive, will motivate the author to produce even more
content, reports, and stories for the fans of Powerfitz.com and the
blog roll generated from Powerfitz.com. I recommend that my new friends
register as a user for 'Over and Out' to be able to interact and recommend directly with the author.

The news goes like this:

First,
the latest Division 4 NHRA Sportsman event for TS46 and TD4200 was less
than fruitful. Both entries were out of the competition after the first
round, and due to the resulting points standing, TS46's season is over.
The bright side to this uneventful event is our Super Pro entry SP4550,
driven by Mrs. Walsh. She stands 4th in points for her track bracket
championship, and a trip to the Division 4 bracket finals in Ennis, TX
will be her opportunity for an invitation to Pamona in the winter.

Once
the bracket finals are over, Houston raceway Park will be making up two
different bracket races, including a double points race which could
push our SP4550 into the top point position going into next year. Leave
the driver a comment or a 'Way to go' by typing out a couple nice words
below this post.

All drag racing should wrap up in November with a Thanksgiving race at Pine Valley Raceway near Lufkin, TX.

The
social media side of Powerfitz.com continues to see a large jump in
followers, friends, and comments to the content we produce. Facebook,
Twitter, and the Wordpress blog 'Over and Out' are being viewed by
thousands of visitors daily. Look for a re-organization of Google
Adsense listings and a better ROI after the latest updates to the site
and blogs.

Welcome to eveyone who finds this news fresh and
ready to duplicate. We recommend you leave us your thoughts so that we
can come and see what you're doing, and how we can join forces into the
future. The news is good, and good news is what we like to produce.

How to

2009-09-16T05:51:00.001-07:00

The knowledge we need right now is as close as your computer and keyboard. The world is coming to information sites like eHow to learn “How to” do just about anything. Cooking, reading, writing, living, laughing, and even dying is covered. Being the author or the reader allows you to make up your own mind about the quality of the information. If you write it they will come. If they read it, they may not like what you have to say and you need to learn a new way of saying things with words.

How to in a How to world.

The economy still stinks for most of us. The super rich lost most. The super poor only learned how to get by with even less, and the middle class could just about ride it out if they kept there job and made enough to pay the bills.. So who said the economy stunk anyways? Anyone who wants to work can work, just maybe not in the field they were used to.

If you didn’t have access to a computer, a web enabled cell phone, or internet, you wouldn’t be able to read this bit of online information. It would also stop you from starting a new online career. The best place to get a new economy career is online. Find a job that pays and make it pay. That’s how we actually got ahead during the down economy. I’m always happy to take advantage of down turns in the economy, and for each one in the past twenty years I did exactly that, started a new way of making money online. More people head to their keyboards now than ever before. Remove the consumption part of daily life, and people spend more time at home, together, online.

It’s not easy making money online. But then again it is. It’s not easy finding the right money making online career for each person is different and each job is different too.

During the bubble bursting of 2000, I began to make a new website that had a purpose of selling auto parts online as a source of revenue and income. It was successful, I was not. Lessons learned: Face to face event promotion is the #1 way to interact locally and then have content to interact electronically. It worked, it works, contact me if you want more information. Because yesterday is not today. Today there is something else going on here and the sooner we find out how to do it right, the better off our pocketbooks will all be.

I sold parts and I made money. Great. I created a physical entity which needed people to manipulate and operate to success. That’s not what I wanted actually. I wanted to make money, but I did not want to handle a schedule to make that happen. Touching heavy parts and maintaining logistics is not what my goal was, yet I achieved that goal. It wasn’t long before a lack of business management led my business in the wrong direction. Now I know what I want, and that is not it.

Electronic revenue share with Google. Writing content (4 you or 4 them?)

Now I want to write. Writing content articles now, and preparing for future publications, I can see a financial future full of royalty and revenue share ad income. Just some words is what they are to me anyways. And this is the business model I need to make successful. Write more, write better, have more to say. I always wondered why people speak without thinking, now I need to think without speaking. Speaking without speaking. I need to write it, place it well, and then connect it to my adsense account. I know what I need to do and I’m doing it. NOW… if I can just do it right.

eHow: 'How To Do Just About Everything and Make Money Too"

2009-09-13T10:53:00.001-07:00

When you create a new career for yourself you need tools to accomplish tasks, and completed tasks to accomplish goals. A new freelance writer should set a goal of making money. Some tools to use and how we use them; here' how this freelance writer got started.

Looking through Craigslist for work is something people do once or twice or a thousand times during a career. The same ads, the same occupation, the same old jobs, day in and day out. You may be looking for work, but are you looking in the right place?

A new career is easy to create if you can create. Create pictures in your mind, remember ways to do things, do the things and talk about them afterwards. You can do it, anyone can. That's how a career in freelance online writing begins. It got me here, much farther than I was when I was looking for a job in the right place just in the wrong category.

So, how do you go from Craigslist to eHow?

I'll tell you, in my next post

Writing for Online Money Gets Easier in 2009

2009-06-12T10:52:00.000-07:00

What we all need right now is to have a little more time writing than we do looking for work. The search is on for an upgrade for your pocket and a better result for the client. How can you get it all done? What, with the Facebook and Twitter calling to you every half a second to say something about anything about someone else. Why not take a little time to get your feet wet in the real writing world and find a writing course you can take to advance your knowledge of writing as an art.

Using art as a description for what you hope to get paid for is the same as painting for cash. The art form is different and as a writer you can profit from writing much faster. The best men and women who word word artists found that they had an ability to write commercially valuable content while maintaining a style of inner personal communication that came easy to the few who are successful. Writing for money online means you need to write. What you write is up to you but if you expect make a dollar, you better write what someone wants to read, or pay for.

Many writers did not start out as writers when they penned their first article. The old-school webmaster who fought it out with big business for customers are now writing for business. Unless they found their voice first.

Start off with paid writing assignments from Demand Studios, Textbroker, Content Current, Examiner, Associated Content, Ehow, and other business that are paying writers to produce those 500 how to articles anyone can understand, might even learn something. But writers write. They write stories of pain and devotion. Conflict and resolution, or that's what I plan on doing once I can get out of the 500 word rut. There are some great free online wiring courses offered by well known universities. The list will be produced soon. So go and write something right now.

Being Productive Equals Higher Freelance Wages

2009-02-19T20:46:00.000-08:00

Today's news is about being self employed and getting the most productivity you can from the hours you have available to perform the work of writing for money. Article publishers can be found through networks of writers who recommend places to work for on their blogs and Twitter.

Right now is the time to understand how article writing can increase your worth with payments made directly into electronic accounts for easy access after completing the assignments. There are easier ways to begint o make money using a home computer and an internet connection. Writing is one way that works for me right now.
