1. Edgar Allan Poe's Unity Of Impression - How To Write A Short Story November 05, 2009 When I sat down to write my mini story on "Alzheimer's" I pretty much had on mind Edgar Allan Poe's writing principle: Unity of impression. To bind the story together I used an object (a 100-burnt out light bulb) that would mirror and symbolize human life: that it eventually burns out. Poe held that a good work has to be short enough to be read in one sitting. If it requires two sittings, the unity of impression and effect is damaged. That is why he was so critical of Milton's long poem "Paradise Lost." Because of that long-held belief, Poe wrote only one novel: "The Narrative of A. Gord... (read more) Author: marciano guerrero

2. Have we Grown Beyond Poetry? November 05, 2009 Poetry is dead. There are poets in abundance, but they are amateurs, generally not paid or praised for their chosen art form. The sonnet is gone, mostly forgotten, the words of the epic poem have grown weary, and stale, the entire world of poetry as we know it, as we once knew it, is gone forever. However it still exists. Maybe it has even evolved, from the mere words and rhyme and measure into something new, something as powerful if not more so. In the ancient world there were two major lyrical arts. There was poetry, which used words to create emotions riding upon cadences and li... (read more) Author: Joey Pebble

4. Losing Weight Learn about the Fact and Fiction November 05, 2009 These numbers are staggering compared to past numbers. Like myself, chances are many of those people are not horrible eaters like many may think. In fact, there might not be anything wrong at all with your eating habits. The fact is that it doesn’t matter if you eat 50 hamburgers a day, or 2 salads a day, if you have a slow metabolism, your eating habits may have very little effect on your weight. Metabolism is an internal process in which your body breaks down food and nutrients to create and store energy. This energy is vital to weight loss. I have a very slow metabolism, which m...

5. Writing For Dummies - How To Organize The Writing Desk November 05, 2009 People often ask me, "Where do you get your ideas for your stories and articles from?" My stock answer is from my daily activities, which include really humdrum, mundane acts that everyone performs. My first act in the morning is to make a fresh pot of coffee. As I do this chore I find myself thinking about a myriad things that have happened in the past, things that I will handle during the day, or things that I may contemplate doing in the future. This is a delightful task. Since no one is around to engage me in conversation or disrupt my thinking, I withdraw and walk freely around the ma... (read more) Author: marciano guerrero

8. Marc Morales On The Beat: East Of Tiffany's November 03, 2009 Sunday afternoon. After spending a good hour at Borders (57th and Park Avenue), I went to Staples (right across the street) to buy a rim of paper for my printer. Since I am a cop -on and off duty- I always take a quick look of the whole scene of any place I go. By the pens and markers section I saw a tall blond (her back to me) talking to a man who looked like Yo Yo Ma (the renowned cellist). Didn't make much of it; the store was a little empty, unlike weekdays when it is usually crowded. So I went about my business. Before long I found myself at the computer shelf, just curious, testing t... (read more) Author: marciano guerrero
