Writing a Great Novel-The Secret Every Writer Needs to Know

Every writer wants to write a great novel, but not every writer knows the secret that can make the difference between a successful novel and a failure. The secret that every writer needs to know is that every novel is a mystery. I know that might sound ridiculous at first, especially if you're writing a romance or a science fiction novel. At their core, though, even westerns and horror stories are mysteries.

Let me explain what I mean. When I say that every novel is a mystery, I mean that there is something (a mystery) that the main character must figure out during the story. In a murder mystery, this is pretty obvious. The main character must figure out who committed the murder. This search for the murderer then provides the framework around which the rest of the story is structured. In a romance, the protagonist may need to figure out how to get the man she loves to fall in love with her. In a science fiction novel, the main character may need to figure out how to get back home after his spaceship crashes on an alien planet. In each of these cases, solving the mystery in the story provides the framework.

Late For Work? Your Not Alone!

Being late or absent is one of the biggest problems companies have in the work place. If you knew how to cure this problem, you could seminar your idea and retire.

But this is not so simple. It is a big enough chore to get the work load scheduled effectively when everyone is present, but when they are late or absent, it puts a strain not only on the company, but the other employees as well. Someone then has to pick up the work load and this can create a negative attitude in the environment. T his usually causes upset employees and can be costly to the company. Being late or absent will always be a problem for every company or supervisor. Making every employee feel that they are an integral part of the team is a plus to their attitude toward the job and the overall success of the company.

Praise your employees when they perform as expected and especially when they do a little extra. You'd be surprised how a complement can change the attitude of anyone - when they know that they are a part of the

Details of top 10 Painting Styles information

Abstract Abstract styles of painting do not show only things that were recognizable and in the paintings they don't try to show people, animals, or places exactly as they appeared in the real world.

Computing For Senior Citizens

The fastest growing group of new computer users is senior citizens, often referred to as 'silver surfers'. If you fit into this group you have probably watched your children or grandchildren doing all sorts of amazing things with their computers and you have decided to take the plunge. If so, this article, the first in a series, will advise you how to choose your first computer.

The first decision to make is whether to buy a PC (personal computer) or a laptop. The PC is the one that has a 'tower' which holds most of the bits that make the thing work; it has a separate screen and a mouse. The laptop on the other hand has all its bits in one box which is the size of a large book. Notebooks and netbooks are just smaller versions of the laptop.

Unless portability is important to you I would advise you opt for a PC. Not only is the screen larger and usually easier to read, and using a mouse to move your cursor around the screen is less fiddly than a tracking

Holiday Party Planning-Your Guide to the Ultimate Holiday Celebration

However true this may be, one fact definitely remains and that is the stress is brings to whoever is hosting the holiday bash. This can be remedied if you institute your holiday party planning effectively. Within this article you will learn how.

A great thing about throwing a holiday party is you usually know everyone who is coming fairly well. If not, then you know someone who does. So when the time comes to do your grocery shopping you can pick out that bottle of wine that you know so and so likes and that special snack for your young relative.

Fast Ways to Learn Vietnamese

There are many things you should know about the boat people, besides how it feels like to have been living all your life rowing and transacting all daily chores in a boat. You might be surprised to know that there are many of these boat people or the Vietnamese people who now live in the States. It is said that there are about 3 million Vietnamese people who now live overseas.

If you happen to have a friend or a partner in business who speaks Vietnamese and you are thinking of learning it as a second language, then maybe you should start researching about the Vietnamese language. The Vietnamese language used to go by the name Annamese. It is one of the Austroasiatic languages. It is the official language of the Vietnamese people who make up 86% of the country's current population. It has been said that some of the Vietnamese language words are derived from the Chinese language. Even the written version of the Vietnamese language is based on the Chinese language. The Vietnamese language denotes a lot of abstractions as it took some words from the Chinese. This is the same way as the English got theirs from

The Increasingly Real and Present Goals of 4G Wireless Internet

We who live in the 21st century are truly blessed to be living in a day and age where technological advances occur at such a high rate and where our ability to stay connected with each other-to efficiently communicate and share-is so strongly reinforced. At this point, the advances are growing at an exponential rate, and the differences between this year and the past one are seemingly greater than last decade and the one before it. One technological breakthrough that continues to be refined and that has proven to be absolutely revolutionary in keeping people effectively connected to the wider world has been wireless internet access, and thanks to the latest generation of mobile connectivity standards people all across the country and many parts of the world have mind-numbingly fast and reliable wireless connections that are significantly improving quality of life, work performance and social connections.

The latest incarnation of mobile communications standards, referred to as 4G (distinguishing it from the previous generations 1G, 2G and 3G), has been released on the market only in the last year or so, and what a

From College to Career: How to Get Hired In a Recession

This year many college graduates will continue to interview for their first executive position during a very unusual economic time. As a young professional, you are armed with a world of knowledge. However, now comes the art of gaining real-life experiences in your field of expertise. It will be much more challenging this year to find a job in your industry. Do a lot of research to understand a company's culture, and what it takes to get hired and remain employed during these tumultuous times. In 2009, 43% of employers plan to hire recent college graduates, down from 56% in 2008 and 79% in 2007, according to Career Builders Annual College Forecast Survey of 2,543 HR professionals. I thought it was interesting that employers reported that the top three mistakes made by recent college graduates during the application and interview process were: 61% not dressing appropriately, 50% not turning off cell phones or electronic devices, and 48% not asking good questions during an interview.

All of these challenges can be overcome by understanding how important your professional image is to

Introducing Steve Grasse

After ten minutes with Ed Tettemer in the offices of the agency he founded with partner, Steve Red, you begin to understand the agency's passion for excellence. After an hour with Ed, you begin to understand the intensity of his personal passion. You begin to understand it but I have a feeling that, even after days and days of exposure to him, you probably wouldn't get the whole picture.

"Passion," the word, may seem descriptive of a complicated set of feelings and opinions. Oddly, in thinking about Ed Tettemer's passion for his agency and its clients, it seems rather simple. It's just that he wants everything to be excellent: excellent clients, excellent co-workers, excellent marketing solutions, excellent creative executions, excellent everything.

"Where'd you go to college, Ed?" (A question most interviewers ask without expecting surprises in the response.) "Never went to college. Dropped out of high school and never looked back. Got my college

What are pocket bikes you might ask? Well they are actually just a little mini motorcycle that people use for recreation and/or racing. At first look, you might not think it, but they are actually fully functional motorcycles. Even though you may look ridiculous writing them they are actually quite fast.

How to Eat Right For Early Ballet Training, Ballet For Adults, and Cheer Leading

Serious music students buy the best instrument they can afford, and learn to take the utmost care of what they select. However, ballet, recreational dance and cheer leading students don't account for the fact that their bodies are their instruments. Those who learn how to eat right in early ballet training, or in learning ballet for adults or for cheer leading events, will benefit for the rest of their lives.

Sadly our food industries have completely changed the way we eat and the way we think about food. I think it's amazing that for instance, most people (okay mostly guys but not exclusively) will pay close attention to the grade of fuel they put in their cars, the tire quality, waxes, and gadgets and accessories, yet have no idea how their bodies run at optimal functionality.

Many athletes and ballet students don't treat their bodies as well as a car ........children depend on their parents to feed them properly and most don't. Not their fault, it takes a special focus to re-learn the whole

The difference between - High altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) and High altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE)

High altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) and High Altitude Cerebral Edema are two different forms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). As per studies AMS affects about 40 percent travellers at an altitude of up to 10,000 feet and more than 50 percent on routes on higher altitudes which are mostly taken by trekkers.

High altitude pulmonary edema affects the lungs whereas High altitude Cerebral Edema affects the brain of the person. In HAPE an extra vascular fluid which is a fluid outside the blood vessels accumulates in the lungs of a person at high altitudes. This mostly happens when the person climbs the height very fast and this trek involves vigorous exercise. This leads to shortage of breath or dyspnoea as it is called, cough, fast heart rate and decreased oxygen levels in the arteries. On the other hand, High altitude cerebral edema is a form of AMS where the brain swells and ceases to function in the usual manner. This increases intracranial pressure and can lead to death.

Whether it is our personal or professional life, they are a truly great way connect with friends, colleagues and establishing new relationships online. Not long ago, we used to associate the term `social networking` with something which was personal and tangible.

Without a doubt, these social networks help us a lot in establishing contact with our friends, colleagues and relatives, but it is also true that we need to be aware of the endemic security issues in context of these social networking websites.

Link Building: A Result-Oriented Process

As the web has been evolving constantly, all the leading search engines do make critical changes in their algorithms over a period of time. And, now the overall process has been rationalized in such a manner that optimization is not limited to keyword stuffing. Apparently, things are changing pretty fast, but whenever search engines rank your websites, they examine the overall presence and authority of a website - both are an amalgamation of many factors. Now that millions of websites are out there - competing rigorously to outdo others, there is a tried and tested method to gain authority in the form of establishing links or building link popularity. You can exchange links with other related websites - dealing in same sort of business or services.
