    All of us spend way too much time online. The big question is: How well is that time spent? We read things and, five minutes later, couldn't tell you what we've read. We post blogs and update our Facebook status and imagine there are people who are really interested but are they-and we, of course-only going through the motions of showing interest? And woe betide you if you're trying to sell something to your peers because the odds are they're trying to sell something to you and if they buy what you're offering and you buy what they're offering isn't that all a bit pointless? Step back, take off the pink-tinted glasses and have a fresh look at your online habits.

    Many writers get their inspiration from places but what exactly is 'place'? According to one writer: "Place refers to the conceptual fusion of space and experience that gives areas an individuality, an identity of place." But what if you're not into places what if your inspiration comes from inner spaces? Scottish poet Jim Murdoch discusses his difficult relationship with places both inner and outer.

But that's what Timothy Ferriss of The 4-Hour Workweek did in 2007, and the way he did it was just as remarkable as what he achieved. Here, the Write to Done blog interviews Tim on his book.

    Everyone gets bored from time to time. But is that such a bad thing? Are there positive aspects to being bored? And how long does it take you to be bored, a couple of hours or a matter of seconds? If we can't stand to be unoccupied for a few seconds is that genuine boredom or something else? And what is it with those eureka moments? Why is it when we're bored we suddenly get such great ideas?

    Especially with the recent growth in self-publishing and ebooks there has been an explosion of new books across all genres but how many people are writing books that could be described as 'general fiction', 'contemporary fiction' or 'literary fiction'? Or what about 'quiet fiction'? Are writers too concerned with their demographics and less with writing books that need to be written?

    The Internet is a very time-consuming place. At best. At its worst it's a very time-wasting place. The question is: How responsible are you for wasting the time of others? Do you update your Facebook status or tweet or blog more often than you really need to? You don't have time to follow what all your friends are doing; do they have the time to keep abreast of everything that's new in your life. Do you ever wonder if all of this is a bit pointless?

The Moral Premise Blog: Story Structure Craft: Not Without My Daughter - 0 views

  • There is a fundamental anti-conscience aspect to radical Islam where rote ideology supports a culture where suppression of another person's conscience (the inner sense of what is right or wrong) is allowed and encouraged
  • Thus, Moody manipulates Betty to take their daughter back for a 2-week visit to Iran to visit his family, but secretly he has no intention of leaving, or letting them leave the deeply misogynistic culture. 
  • Why would Moody (an American trained doctor) stay in a culture that seems to have jumped backwards 1,000 years in terms of hygiene, medicine, science, human rights, freedoms, and basic knowledge about the human condition? Several reasons. (1) It's revealed that his political activities in the U.S. have resulted in his termination from two jobs, in two states, and two different hospital systems -- further resulting in the loss of his Green Card.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • (2) The second reason Moody relapses to his upbringing is that (as Betty surmises in the book) there is an basic inability of the Islamic culture to think independently -- a trait ingrained by the educational system upon her daughter, where all learning is by rote repetition
  • You are taught only to say and think what is spoon fed to you.
  • Where there's a will, there's a way.
  • This engenders in Betty, a perseverance in the midst of persecution, that allows her achievement of the goal -- getting out of Iran with her daughter. And the odds and obstacles for the unlikely, common hero are immense -- natural structure for a successful movie
  • Betty reiterates that her father brought her up to believe
  • In this story, Betty retains or embodies the practice of listening to her (properly formed) conscience (or will) while her antagonists (the autocratic Islamic culture, represented by Moody) embody a rote-mentality (or suppression of the will) and a willingness to live under tyranny.

  •  Feature Highlight: Highlights Diigo saves the day with "highlights". Highlights let you select the important snippets on a page and store them in your library with the page's bookmark. Let's try it. Just open a page, maybe one of your old-school bookmarks or one of your new cat bookmarks, and find the information on that page you actually care about. Select that important text. Got it? Okay, now put your hemet on, 'cause this might blow your mind! Click the highlight icon on the Diigo toolbar. It's the one with the "T" on a page with a yellow highlighter. You will notice that the selected text gets a yellow background. This means that the text has been saved in your library, and as long as you have the Diigo add-on the text will be highlighted on the page! How's that for easy?   Now you've highlighted the text. It will appear in your library within the bookmark for the page it is on. Go to your library and you can see how it works. If you're not sure how to get to your library, just click the second icon on the toolbar (Diigo icon to the left of the search bar) and then select "My Library »".
  • Sticky Notes on the Web What? I can put a sticky note on a web page? How? Oh, that's right! Diigo. Just right-click anywhere on the page and choose to "add a floating sticky note". Type up your note and choose "Post", then move the note anywhere on the page. You have to type a note first, before you move it where you want, otherwise there's nothing to move!
