This is wonderful book, to own, to treasure, to read and re-read for a lifetime! Trollope’s Autobiography is a perennial source of wisdom–besides being inspirational–to writers, but in particular to fiction writers. The book in general is an ABC of perfect, round sentences, and sentence variation, which of course makes for agile prose. However, personally, I find three chapters that are unsurpassed in English letters: Chapter VII which contains his ‘Scheme of Work;’ Chapter X deals with language and the homage to Thackeray; and Chapter XII with Novels and the Art of Writing them. Chapter VII Chapter VII of his Autobiography is the most poignant as it shows how this humble man wrote so much –and all of excellent quality– by sheer determination. And let’s keep in mind that he accomplished all that immense literary output while holding a full time job with the Post Office from which he retired in 1867. Can you imagine what his output would have been, had he not been burdened with that job? Trollope wrote 47 novels, 16 other books among which we find travelogues and serious commentaries on Cesar and Cicero. Trollope discovered that “A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.” And never did he deviate from his allotted daily writing. This quotation is taped on top of my computer to remind me to do my own “small daily task,” faithfully. Nothing can be more admirable in a person -one who accomplishes things, who gets things done rather than talk– than self-discipline and constancy. How true Trollope’s words are: “But I have been constant and constancy in labour will conquer all difficulties.” Now, this for most human beings is easier said than done-but not for this humble man whose evidence of greatness is his literary output. But not just quantity is on the good side of the ledger, but quality also, as he himself recognized: “That in the writing of books, quantity without quality is a vice and misfortune…” Although I love all his novels, this is the book–An Autobiography–I would save from an all consuming holocaust. No writer’s library should be without it. Chapter X From this chapter I learned that a writer has to keep his language simple but correct. Sometimes I read novels and articles with such elevated and pretentious language that mars the themes and content of the books. Here’s what Trollope said: An author can hardly hope to be popular unless he can use popular language. That is quite true; but then comes the question of achieving a popular -in other words, I may say, a good lucid style. How many an author best acquire a mode of writing which shall be agreeable and easily intelligible to the reader? He must be correct, because without correctness he can be neither agreeable nor intelligible.” By correctness he means not only the use of correct grammar and syntax, but also language that is appropriate to his audience. Nowhere will you find offensive, vulgar, or profane language in all of his enormous production. You’ll only find sober, terse, cadenced language that transport meaning in a clear and transparent manner. If you love W. M. Thackeray’s writing, you’re in good company, for Trollope considered Esmond, “the greatest novel in the English language…” Chapter XII The title of this chapter is “On Novel and the Art of Writing Them.” No writer of fiction should attempt to write one single line without having read this chapter. I learned much from this chapter, but in particular a few useful pointers: Don’t be boring. Be pleasing. Be entertaining. Teach. And teach virtue and delight readers. Make virtue alluring and vice ugly. Include danger in the work. Let the work be about young people and love. Plot and characters delight readers and Trollope’s tell you how to do it. Conclusion Trollope’s Autobiography is a book that delights and teaches. Being a treasure, one can always find golden nuggets with every reading. If you saw my copy you wouldn’t believe the number of notations I have on the margins. I love this book and I hope you will, too. Retired.

If you love food and have the ability to add creative flair to your writing, you could look forward to a career in freelance food writing. Technically, freelance food writing means tasting food and then describing it. Practically, it’s a much more involved process. Food critics often absorb the entire dining experience of the restaurant they’re in. How does the atmosphere contribute to the quality of the food? What was the service like? What did the food taste like? The latter can be a fun question to answer because it’s your opportunity to let your creativity shine through. Don’t shy away from elaborate adjectives and metaphors. Think along the lines of: “The arugula and baby spinach medley, coupled with bursts of cilantro and cranberry, was bliss to the palate.” Who offers freelance food writing jobs? Food writing is one of the more prolific freelancing jobs. Almost every major newspaper in the country has a food section. There are also dozens of magazines you could write for, depending on your food or beverage preference. As mentioned earlier, people looking for freelance food writers may really be looking for restaurant reviewers. Be prepared to do either one or both, depending on your editor. Remember that a whole restaurant review can be a little more in-depth than simply writing about the food, so make sure to pay attention to everything that happens from the moment you walk through those restaurant doors. Where can I find these jobs? If you’ve done a couple of food reviews, submit them to food magazines and the food section editors of newspapers, along with a query letter. Your query letter should include a brief, exciting plug for the article you’d like to write, along with several good reasons why you should be the freelance writer to do it. Another idea is to look for restaurants that are opening in your area and approach the owners directly. Let them know you’re a freelance food writer who would like to help them get their new restaurant in the paper. It’ll give you an excellent opportunity to write their review first and get it published. You might even get a free meal! Occasionally, you’ll find ads for freelance food writers on the Internet. Approach with caution; usually these jobs pay very little. What skills do I need to be a freelance food writer? Besides creativity and keen eye, it’s helpful if you have a passion for food. That may sound obvious, but it’s worth mentioning

Building and growing an ebusiness is hard work. It requires enormous time, energy, patience, specific set of skills and determination among others. With all the things that you need to do, I will not be surprised if you struggle to find time in writing your articles. After all, producing great articles can be time-consuming. And outsourcing is the best ways to get articles and even web content done but only if you do the entire process right. Outsourcing will help you boost your sales and revenue. Assuming you get the amount and the quality of articles you need, this will lead to better page ranking, more exposure in the online arena, link popularity, a strong online presence and an expert status, and more qualified traffic to your website. As you know, these elements will help you boost your sales and revenue. Here are some tips to get the most out of this endeavor: 1. Be descriptive. Instead of telling service providers that you need 100 articles on auto insurance, offer them with all the details that they need in order to help them come up with the exact articles that you?re looking for. For example, you can tell them your preferred format. Do you want them to break up your articles into several short paragraphs? Do you want them to use subheadings? Do you want them to include keywords on each of the paragraphs? Do you want them to keep your articles short? 2. Be careful when hiring ?cheap ghostwriters.? I don?t have anything against in finding ways on how you can save money but working with ghostwriters who charge $1-$2/article might not sound like a good idea. You see, great writers know their worth. If they?re confident that they can offer you with high quality articles, there is no way on earth that they?ll charge less than $5 per article. 3. Check the articles. Do not be too confident with your ghostwriters. One of my clients committed this deadly mistake. He was working with a ghostwriter for several months and he used the articles without even reading them. Turns out that the ghostwriter also outsourced the articles and the quality was really bad. You don?t want this to happen to you, right? Here are the things that you need to do when outsourcing your articles using freelancing sites. 1. First, choose freelancing site where you would post your project to. Today, there are about hundreds of freelancing sites in the online arena. Research and identify the top 10 sites based on their reliability and popularity. Read their terms of service. Go with those ones that charge less and those who has several service providers. 2. Post a project. In order to attract more bids, I recommend that you make your project as descriptive as possible. Indicate how many articles you need and the required word count. Also, indicate the topics, the required keyword density, and how much you?re willing to pay for each article. 3. Review the bids. I suggest that you check the project that you?ve posted after 24 hours. By this time, you?ll surely get several bids from ghostwriters who are coming from all points of the globe. Review each bid and consider the feedback of each freelancers. Of course, you would want to go with those people who have proven track record and who were highly recommended by their previous customers. 4. Shortlist at least 1-2 ghostwriters and make time to interview them. Verify skills and ask about their turn around time. It?s also great if you can ask about their policy about revision requests. 5. Communicate with the winning bidders. Choose the best bidder based on their qualifications and writing skill level. Send them the keywords that you would like to target. Encourage them to email you should they have questions.

Graphological analysis of the letters j-l J Imagine that the (J) loop is tremendous and extends to the left. This writing is found among many male homosexuals. Note: It is very difficult for a graphologist to say definitely whether an individual is a homosexual. What he can detect is that the person thinks of himself as sexually unusual. Distortions in the lower zone or strangely shaped letters show a sex life that is of an uncommon sort, but not necessarily homosexuality. Remember that this is what the writer himself feels. The homosexual who does not consider homosexuality strange will not reflect this in his writings. Since the left represents the past (the mother), apparently in the writer’s youth, he became confused about the proper role he was to play in life. He rejected the father role and preferred the mother figure, which apparently evidenced more warmth. As an adult, the former child now seeks this same nonviolent warmth. K • Consider the letter (’K') split into different parts. It shows someone who lacks adjustment and can be compared to disconnected writing. It is as though, through the spaces where he did not write, intuition of some kind seeped in. The writer is usually quite clever and has many ideas, although he doesn’t do things as most other people do (indicated by the unusual splitting of the letter). • Picture the end stroke (of the ‘k’) as a down stroke, made with considerable pressure and extended quite deeply into the lower zone. This shows someone on the defensive; he keeps his “hand” at his side instead of reaching out with it. He dips into the lower zone for strength and stresses it. This hints at brutality and stubbornness. L • Imagine the horizontal stroke (of the ‘L’) darkened (technically called shading). This unbalanced distribution of shading (one area of the letter has it, the others do not), shows poor circulation plus moodiness. This kind of writing often occurs at puberty or menopause. The shaded area created by heavy pressure seems to suggest a physical condition of which the body is aware and to which it responds. Since only the middle zone is heavily pressured, the condition lies somewhere in midbody, probably in the abdominal area. • Consider the letter (’L') that looks like a zero; this indicates someone with a mathematical bent. • Picture the downstroke (in the ‘L’) severed into two parts. Imagine this letter superimposed over the body of a person. The break would lie somewhere in the area of the heart. Therefore we see a weak heart or one that may be about to have an attack. • Consider the letter written in a highly simplified manner; whenever a letter is simplified and still contains all the parts necessary for reading, we see a quick, sensible mind. • When the letter (’L') is in the shape of a number 4, it shows a love of order and method. The square shape indicates a desire to put things in some kind of order, and the resemblance to a number adds methodicalness.

Very old and wise philosophers used to say that by studying history you can imagine the future as history repeats it’s self. This applies to the simplest human action, up to the most complex like organizing a nation or a country. No matter, how much had Alexander the Great studied history, he could not imagine that his name would be used to harm his nation and country. Based on his greatness he would certainly assure his origin, even if he had to write it down all the way while he traveled. He was a personality that he did not just live history, he made history. Human beings as they live through the ages, their names are insignificant, but the greatness of some people mark history and add some greatness to human specie. The rest of the world is fond of resembling them and like to pay them some respect as the years go by. The scary part is when some of them try to steal identities as the years go by, depending on the luck of knowledge for its nation’s history. If Alexander the Great wanted to be known as “Macedonian” and not Greek, through history, based again on his greatness, he would say so, or even demand so. Give him some more credit than FYROM gives him. He accomplished amazing achievements that even today are difficult to repeat, but he missed to clarify that he was not exactly Greek? He did not speak of something that he was just too sure and he did not have to explain. Alexander the Great was Greek. The opposite opinion about his origin is based on the parts that Greece was divided at that time, which is totally incorrect as all countries had divisions and smaller parts for their better organization; this does not mean that they were speaking of totally different countries. All those different areas were independent, but still parts of Greece. Another view is based on the fact that FYROM uses the name of Alexander the Great just to open a way to Greece’s economy and gain some of Greece’s land. It really resembles great scenario where the rich grandfather-Alexander the Great, dies and after a while too many grandsons claim his fortune by any mean. But his fortune belongs to history where all great men belong and it is a blasphemy to try to steal it. But, the most terrifying is that the world is not reacting to this madness. What Egypt would say if someone found a secret origin of Pharaoh Ramses II that belonged to another country and that country claimed profits from Ramses II? What about the Napoleon I of France, if they made a story that while he traveled to another country, he had a secret marriage with children, would this be enough to give them a cut of its fame or legacy? Would you give them anything they claimed? Isn’t it frightening to try to defend your belongings by twisted stories? So, what if that nation depends on false news and their own kind of history, so what if they rose many generations with a lie, so what if they move fast and use the name “Macedonia” without the approval of Greece for too many years, this gives them the right to go on without any disturbance? If the world gives so easily what a nation demands without proofs and when it is obvious that political and financial causes are hidden and move the “game”, then what the future will be for the years to come? All civilizations will have no support while facing strong political alliances with only target the profit. The saddest of all, is that the world does not know who will be the next victim. Egypt’s Pharaoh Ramses II, France’s Napoleon I, Russia’s Ivan the Great? Who knows…everything is on sale when the world is not responding and forgets. But be careful, your turn might be next and be ready to loose your identity, as none will be by your side. Be quick and hide your heroes and legendary personalities. They are coming for you…the easy way. GOTSI is a freelance journalist. gotsi.freelancergmail.com
