Oh! You can whore out and write ad copies, eh? BECOME DON DRAPER.
You had me at "whoring out". Ain't no dollar like a sell-out dollar. I can't question my integrity if I'm busy wading in rolled up and powder-caked hundos.
My best advice is that, if you can, to start submitting to magazines, if at all possible. SF writers, for instance, have submissions to things like Asimov. If you're more of a journalist writer that's going to be a bit tougher.
Yeah, there's the rub. These days, the type of writing I do is much more time sensitive than it used to be, so magazines are all but out. If I ever go back to short fiction (and I likely will... I've got that story itch again), though, that's definitely the route I'll take.

I'd help you out if I were still in that part of the business but my writing's gone farther down the scholarly path.

I really appreciate it, good sir. I probably came off more desperate than I actually am, though. Right now, my biggest problem is damage control from my teen years. I had dropped out of high school to focus on psychiatric treatment, and it's high time I get that rectified and find myself a college ASAP (And I do mean ASAP... at this rate, I won't finish college until I'm 30, and that is massively depressing to me). Then and only then will I put my absolute all into a sustainable career in enthusiast press, and I'll have a hell of a lot more sway with a degree under my belt.
... My god, that sounded more sob-story than I meant it to, haha. Totally not my intention. I really am optimistic about my chances in the industry.
@ShaggE, Having a sob story is great for being a writer. It gives you inspiration and interesting things to write about. So I think you're off to a pretty good start as it is. Not to say that a degree won't help with all of that, of course...

Haha, very true. I'm not secure enough in my writing ability to entertain the thought of succeeding based on sheer skill alone, so a certificate confirming that I know how to English real goodly is a must.
I certainly use my bipolar as a tool in my writing (fiction, of course... a review that reads like "So-and-so game is very good at what it does, and I WANT THIS PIECE OF SHIT TO BURN. I highly recommend SHEARING OFF YOUR EXTREMITIES and playing it." wouldn't go over too well ), but I'm always worried that it's too woe-is-me and unoriginal. The last thing I'd want to do is perpetuate the myth of bipolars being whiny emos. That likely plays a big part in why fiction is just a fun aside for me now.
I'm getting way too candid in an open forum right about now, haha. I'll pep it up a bit with a happy, happy dance.
So for those of you who don't know I'm a university researcher as well as a entrepreneur of sorts with investment business as well as book sales. A self starter I should say. As much as I do love my businesses, I also enjoy the comfort of a committed check; one that won't vary depending on how business does. And for a while it seemed I wouldn't be able to depend on that check anymore. Fortunately, a big grant came through, and I'll be continuing my role as a researcher. So, good times.

But are you on the side of good or bad, it doesn't sound like you care or discriminate. I don't want to judge. But you're in a powerful position. Where did you get the grant and what sort of research do you do?
*sighs* Research is good, but humanity generally lacks true vision behind discoveries, the atom bomb technology could have been used to help cure society, instead we use it as a weapon of massive destruction.
Your heart may be in the right place but humanity isn't too smart, I'm sorry it isn't. We are really a bunch of animals, most families can't even handle smaller tasks of picking up after theirselves or washing a dish for 10 seconds after eating dinner. What the hell is so hard about washing your own dish and putting it away? Or putting away the trash so the dog doesn't eat out of it and track it all over the floor. No one has common sense or even a small sense of responsibility within simpler tasks and the rich are greedy and well verse, educated, but have a naive understanding of the world and how so many suffer and starve to death in the streets.
This world is a cluster fuck and we keep going in circles and keep making the same mistakes. You're a researcher, being funded for research, that's good and all but I rather be part of a more self aware, intelligent species.
Granted there are some technological concepts way above my head, sure I'm sure, things that would make my head spin but these people typical have brain power rather than intelligence and wisdom and it turns out there is a big *BEEP* difference...
Then let's get on about how we disregard human life, disrespect it and act on urges like a pack of dogs...
This world is stupid, it doesn't make sense, and only those with true strength, vision are going to change anything. With all due respect to history, rewrite it, reinterpret it, because people ARE NOT learning.
Have you even listened to film score music from a certain composer that you can hear music from tracks on other scores in one you're currently listening to? I'm not meaning the theme songs only, but the overall music.
I can hear hints of Star Wars music in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone; I can hear hints of Edward Scissorhands music in Batman Returns; and I can hear hints of Pirates of the Caribbean music in The Dark Knight.

All I hear in John Williams scores is the New World Symphony. Seriously, It's in Jaws and Lord of the Rings as well.

How do you expect the poor bloke to answer that? A genuine interest got derailed very quickly into an exhaustive monologue of the imperfections of humanity and pretty much said his research would be useless. Have some decorum, man!
I love him, I mean he's a friend. But I'm going through a cynical period. Let's face it research and humanity is also capable of good. I'm just a little bent right now.
I support him, I do, I'm just being cynical. He understands that, I think. Constant conflict, doesn't make sense, this species is insane...We need to recapture our sanity. You think only those behind bars are insane, when it's spreading to all levels, and all people.
I'm sorry, this whole world just doesn't make much sense, all this superficial bull shit, all these lies, all these damn lies. It doesn't make sense, I know I may sound crazy to you, but this world just doesn't make sense. People have been robbed of common sense, sanity.
I'm sorry, it's a period of tangents, no more. I'm done, this isn't my musing thread.

All composers steal from each other. S e r i o u s l y. It's almost impossible to not crossover themes especially in such a music prevalent era. And then there's the downright theft.
As for my research, when I know what good and evil is, I'll let you know what side I favor.
*sighs* Some times it's easier than other suggest. There's alot of insanity in this world. People living together day to day, fighting over the dumbest things, getting angry and insecure of the dumbest things. This world is truly insane, and yet no one can see it.
Power lusting, hungry psychotics...
All this bull shit drama, and then people accepting horrible things, terrible things just because lunatics making immense profit of those things condone those things.
I've seen research , gene research, things much worse than cloning. Cloning is saint hood compared to what they've researched and experimented with.
It doesn't make sense, so many miserable people and killing in the streets, and people believing this reality like that is all that there is, or matters. So many people in this world finding a place , making money money , and without any true sense of self worth, self value, warped and part of some sick screwed up world.
And it goes on and on, as we live in a truly insane world, structured on insanity. Blood shed in countries, children sewn together like garments and for what? Money, resources...
This world is just screwed up. And our geniuses , through history may have brain power, may be able to solve advanced problems but so many are damned fools.
And we're just hell to brim stone.
You think morality is subjected, that's part of the insanity. You think it's subjective?
In the end I actually do think there are absolutes, I just debate them.
Well part of morality is subjective. Is it okay to kill, to kill all the time or only some of the time? Is it ok to kill if it means saving others? etc etc.
I can't believe I've never seen that... depressing enough on its own, then I use Google's image match to find out more, just to find a stunningly racist diatribe bitching out all of Japan for mourning after the earthquake disaster.
"Insane animals" is all too right sometimes, doodo.
Reading that thread, I have to assume many of them are 12 years old. The fact that someone claimed the Bombing of Hiroshima happened 20 years ago made me LOL a bit.
Whatever Shagge. I'm not the one attacking the Japanese. I'm not a racist.
I'm not conforming to any one else's views. We're a species who gets into wars, violence and it's insane itself and then how do we solve our problems? And the true reason we get into wars? Often economical reasons anymore...
It's hopeless, that's why alien species want to wipe us out. It's hopeless. We were given a chance, we're a bunch of deranged psychotic animals. And I know I'm judging and that means you want to judge me. Whatever, have at it.
Is it ok? It only happens because we're mad, diseased with insanity, and have to ask ourselves these questions because we're attracted to this conflict, violence. And we take this power into our hands, rule in other nations of conflict, step on one another, kill one another for planet resources, and then we lie to our people why.
And that's fine, go on living your lives, it takes a long time to see some of this coming...
And I can't judge you.
I'm sorry I even brought it up, people just want to argue everything within the little colored lines they don't want to see things, especially if some one else is trying to point them out. They just want to color in the lines, because that's what's produced book after book. Be a good boy, color in the lines, get paid...
I found the link rather quickly, you're missing the point. It was us that dreamt of the atom bomb, us as a species that went to war, and it's other species who were traveling between other dimensions 1000s of years before the first one of us mentally diseased species wiped the snot off its nose...
Ooh, that must be a different one. Mine was a screencap of said diatribe on a blog.
Scary thing is, I am no longer surprised at the idea of somebody believing that Hiroshima happened 20 years ago. In fact, that's not the most outlandish internet claim I've heard, even just this past month.
There's a reason a small number of people will always dominant the larger mass.
Because they are power hunger lunatics, rewrite it in poetry how ever you want to. Look at this country is it really doing THAT well? They promise people change, but they aren't going to give it.
What's your reason, ego, another insanity complex? You think they are better, can rule over 10000s of starving lives, mutilating, cut up living corpses of children. Kill innocents over resources? And for what profit, money? You think they are stronger, or better or more equipped to rule over people?
What's your reason? Is it as psychotic as I suspect it is? This confrontational animal who like a naive child is always finding the bigger beating stick to violently rule over people, rule a country by slaughtering 10000s upon 10000s of innocent lives to run a country and find resources on a planet that was the species birth right?
Manipulating people, voters, manipulating businesses and watching the world burn out of lust and greed?
What's your reason?
Only one inspiring to be as one of those people would be a apologetic!
All composers steal from each other. S e r i o u s l y. It's almost impossible to not crossover themes especially in such a music prevalent era. And then there's the downright theft.
And then there's John Williams, who steals from himself. I'm being completely serious here. Listen to the Parade of the Slave Children. Got it? Cool. Now listen to this. It's practically the same theme at the beginning, but with a different texture, tempo, and background.
Don't get me wrong, I love John Williams. I just find it funny that they put these two pieces back to back on one of his collection albums.
Oh...some times I guess people just don't click on. OOPS
It's all good, I can see how my post may have been construed as sarcastic. Totally not my intention, though. Humanity sucks far more often than it does good. It's a true miracle of nature that we accomplish anything at all.

He's borderline hackish in his repeat of motifs at times.
Doodo, listen to me. Ranting in here isn't going to help. The rest of us cope with how fucked up the human race is by trying our best to ignore what we have no control over. If you want to be sane, concentrate on your own domain. Let other people worry about theirs.
I heard a line in a soap recently, "it's how we deal with the cards we are dealt that makes us what we are." I'd also add to that you need to learn what/how you can make a difference and where versus where you cannot (and leaving matters of the latter well alone). To realise what would be a foolish, self-imploding errand and what is worthwhile (i.e. a positive outcome that is possible with your input).
I hope this makes sense to you. Most of what I write and say confuses the hell out of people because of the way I word it.
John Williams music is very repetitive. I have to personally agree.
In a way it's a good thing , at least for some one who doesn't listen to a lot of music as he's easily identified , at the same time it's almost too obvious, even though you could consider it a musical style.
A true musician might not see it as a style and the music uninspired. But I still say he definitely has a style and you can spot him. So I find it hard to judge him as he is a musician . But I am not a musician.

Thanks for caring. Thanks I believe in all of our wisdom. I do, but it's some times hard to listen to every side and try to make a worth while, intelligence conversation that's balanced and fair to every one. Some times I just loose hope. I respect all of your intelligence, all of your worth, all of you. I do, I really do. I might not have friends, I might be sort of alone, and not a people person but that doesn't mean that I don't respect you.
I never fit in with people, I'm 23 don't have friends in the physical world, never had friends, don't have a girlfriend and I can't do small talk with 95 percent of the people in the physical world and my own family thinks I'm weird and can't relate to me anymore they say.
So, it's not something I ever really had a choice in, it's just who I am, how I survive. I've tried simplifying things, I just don't fit in. I know it sounds like a complex or that I'm inventing but I just don't. I know that's hard to imagine, as lots of people feel the same way and still manage.
I don't want to suggest I'm different, special, no I'm not I'm so ordinary and simple that I can't even involve myself in the ongoing of others. But, I try to have my own values and I try not to let any one else change, alter those values.
That's all I have in my life, and it's hard to be balanced some times in this world as I do care, and it's hard to care, accept others as they may or may not make mistakes as they do things or believe things that you disagree with or feel that are going to harm more people than not.
I'm single, I'm alone, I'm even self ish I'm not that good of a person but I've ALWAYS cared about the majority and I always will and I know that doesn't make sense and most people won't understand.

I can't even get out of the forest in Might and Magic 1, and Zork is too much for my limited intelligence.
Why must I punish myself so....
I laughed. Pepping up = successful.
I'm a total moron. Nothing like a good think to make you feel worse of yourself.

I hope this makes sense to you. Most of what I write and say confuses the hell out of people because of the way I word it.
In a way it's a good thing , at least for some one who doesn't listen to a lot of music as he's easily identified , at the same time it's almost too obvious, even though you could consider it a musical style.
A true musician might not see it as a style and the music uninspired. But I still say he definitely has a style and you can spot him. So I find it hard to judge him as he is a musician . But I am not a musician.
Thanks for caring. Thanks I believe in all of our wisdom. I do, but it's some times hard to listen to every side and try to make a worth while, intelligence conversation that's balanced and fair to every one. Some times I just loose hope. I respect all of your intelligence, all of your worth, all of you. I do, I really do. I might not have friends, I might be sort of alone, and not a people person but that doesn't mean that I don't respect you.
I never fit in with people, I'm 23 don't have friends in the physical world, never had friends, don't have a girlfriend and I can't do small talk with 95 percent of the people in the physical world and my own family thinks I'm weird and can't relate to me anymore they say.
So, it's not something I ever really had a choice in, it's just who I am, how I survive. I've tried simplifying things, I just don't fit in. I know it sounds like a complex or that I'm inventing but I just don't. I know that's hard to imagine, as lots of people feel the same way and still manage.
I don't want to suggest I'm different, special, no I'm not I'm so ordinary and simple that I can't even involve myself in the ongoing of others. But, I try to have my own values and I try not to let any one else change, alter those values.
That's all I have in my life, and it's hard to be balanced some times in this world as I do care, and it's hard to care, accept others as they may or may not make mistakes as they do things or believe things that you disagree with or feel that are going to harm more people than not.
I'm single, I'm alone, I'm even self ish I'm not that good of a person but I've ALWAYS cared about the majority and I always will and I know that doesn't make sense and most people won't understand.
In that respect, Williams has nothing on Danny Elfman, who I think believes he's been scoring the same film for years.
(let the record show that I love Elfman)
