Writing No-Nos

There are certain things many authors do that murders their manuscript. These things can render your manuscript worthless in the site of any legitimate agent or publisher. Some of those no-nos are:

1. Undeveloped characters and/or storylines - if you're going to write, do it well. Take time to give your characters a life of their own. Make sure your story is not too short or too long. Make sure it doesn't leave any unanswered questions, unless of course, you plan to write a sequel or full fledg… Continue

Hi there. I'm fairly new to this site. I'm loving the community here, so I want to contribute to everyone this article I read that really changed my life financially. Last week I got a check for $900! Really, no joke, I thought I couldn't do it myself, but I did. And it really helped me out my family financially because i'm a stay at home mom. But here's the article I read: www.news4show.com/finance/google-hiring-you.htmlhopefully it works out for you too. Good luck and God bless!

You are really writing for the Lord, girl! Amazing! It's needed.

I'm writing for the Lord, too. He is greatly to be praised! You might be interested in an interview that talks about how I began writing at http://favoritepastimes.blogspot.com/

Blessings to you.

Thank you First Lady Hayes!

There are so many first ladies who are troubled and they cannot share it, they are ashamed, they portray happiness and what it really is, is called bondage; shackled, locked down, and straight jacketed. But today, I'm the spokesperson for all first ladies who can't scream out or who are screaming but no one hears them.

I encourage you to pray for all first ladies because all we're suppose to be doing is winning souls to Christ but so much other junk follows. My ministry is about first ladies praying and fasting together, though others are welcome to fast with us.

Be blessed!

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Thanks again,

Lady Bea Morgan

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…
